Changes in digital currency positions
Huang Zhen, director of the Institute of financial law of Central University of Finance and economics, said that digital currency mainly refers to the form of currency and will not cause currency shrinkage. The issuing scale of money is still controlled by the central bank, while the issue of paper money or digital money is just a change of form< In addition, Huang Zhen mentioned that the issue of digital currency is still in the stage of discussion, which is an innovative mechanism of currency value symbol, and many problems are still under study. However, in practice, people are more and more inclined to use e-banking and e-payment rather than carrying notes. Under this trend, the number of banknotes in circulation in the future may decrease
the central bank's issuing of digital currency is still inspired by encrypted digital currencies such as bitcoin and lettercoin, and so is the token of European crowdfunding platform. The digital currency issued by the central bank has monetary attributes, while the token of European crowdfunding platform can only be a kind of asset certificate, a niche proct.
(1) the long-term investment of digital currency is a kind of high-risk investment
digital currency investment is faced with policy uncertainty, technology risk, competition risk and other risks. For example, the policy changes of digital currency supervision in various countries, the possible cracking of consensus mechanism, and the risk of competition and substitution of other decentralization and legal digital currency. These risks determine that digital currency investment is still a high-risk investment in the long run
(2) there are many uncertain factors affecting the short-term investment of digital currency
in the short term, the price of digital currency is affected by more technical, news and fundamental factors that affect short-term supply and demand, and the price fluctuates greatly, with strong uncertainty and unpredictability.
1. Digital currency
digital currency is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Both digital gold coin and password currency belong to digital currency
digital currency is different from the virtual currency in the virtual world, because it can be used for real goods and services transactions, not limited to online games. The early digital currency (digital gold currency) is a form of electronic currency named after the weight of gold. Today's digital currency, such as bitcoin, lightcoin and ppcoin, is an electronic currency created, issued and circulated by check sum cryptography
features: the use of P2P peer-to-peer network technology to issue, manage and circulate currency theoretically avoids bureaucratic examination and approval, so that everyone has the right to issue currency
Electronic money means that a certain amount of cash or deposit is exchanged from the issuer and the data representing the same amount is obtained. By using some electronic methods, the data is directly transferred to the payment object, so that the debt can be paid off. Strictly speaking, consumers pay traditional money to the issuers of electronic money, and the issuers store the equal value of traditional money in the electronic devices held by consumers in electronic form. In short, when we deposit money into our bank account, there will be an extra number in the bank account, which means how much money we have saved. In this process, we give the banknotes in our hands to the bank, and the bank adds a number to our bank card, which is our electronic currencyfeatures:
< UL >e-money and paper money (or physical money) can be easily converted to each other
the data of electronic currency corresponds to the same amount of physical currency
we need to pay physical money to the issuers of e-money (banks and other financial institutions) in order to exchange for the same amount of e-money
3. The similarity between digital currency and electronic currency: both exist in the form of electronic data
The differences between digital currency and electronic currency are as follows:electronic currency has an issuing institution, and the corresponding amount of physical currency in the institution can be exchanged with physical currency; However, digital currency has no specific issuing institution (decentralization) and can only exist in network data
at present, there is no international consensus on whether digital currency is a currency or not, so in China, the main form of digital currency is "investment proct", which is a rather risky investment proct, and only a few businesses are willing to accept digital currency consumption; Of course, some countries (Germany, etc.) have officially recognized the currency status of digital currency
some platforms are calculated by 24 hours, some by day, and some by average price. Specific algorithm or to ask the relevant trading platform, this is no standard answer
there are risks in digital currency investment, especially since digital currency has recently entered a bear market, investment should be more cautious. It is better to invest in mainstream digital currencies such as bitcoin, bitcoin cash and wikilink, which have passed the test of the market.

the replacement of paper money by digital currency can only be realized in the eastern coastal developed areas and some big cities, but it is unrealistic in some remote areas, and the infrastructure can not keep up
bitcoin, lightcoin and decent are known as global circulation, but in fact, the scope of circulation is very limited.
People often talk about these initiatives in the context of digital money supply. In fact, more than 90% of the money in circulation has become digital money. In most instrial countries, only about 10% of the money is in the form of physical cash. The central bank is making a huge investment to further accelerate and simplify the digital payment process. In the US, the Federal Reserve will soon unveil a new solution, fednow. It can support nationwide real-time electronic payment. In addition to the United States, Britain, Australia, Mexico and Nigeria have also built and deployed similar infrastructure
