In the morning of March 9, 2014 Beijing time, Jared Cohen, creative director of Google, said at the Sxsw conference this week that digital cryptocurrency similar to bitcoin will exist for a long time. Cohen and Eric Schmidt, Google's chairman, promoted their co-author book the new digital age at the conference
in the past few months, bitcoin prices have fluctuated significantly. At the same time, this digital currency is strongly supported by the hacker community and is closely related to some black markets. Cohen believes that bitcoin has its value, but it will bring risks if it is not regulated
mt.gox lost $400 million worth of bitcoin, which shakes the confidence of the outside world in bitcoin. Some critics even point out that "bitcoin is dead". However, Cohen's statement is a strong support for cryptocurrency technologies such as bitcoin
bitcoin can exist only because both sides of the transaction recognize its transaction value, so anyone can independently design a virtual currency. Ars technica, for example, announced this week that it would create its own cryptocurrency, arscoin
Cohen believes that the main threat to digital cryptocurrency is how to keep it safely, and the loss of mt.gox bitcoin once again highlights this problem. Recently, the US Congress has also launched a debate on digital cryptocurrency. Some members believe that the supervision of the bitcoin should be strengthened to avoid risks. Another congressman, Jared polis, believes that the US dollar has similar defects to bitcoin, so if bitcoin is banned, then the US dollar note should also be banned
digital currency has a short history in the world, but it develops rapidly. Many countries are trying to sum up experiences and lessons through official or non-governmental efforts
take Europe as an example. In 2015, the transaction volume of digital currency in relevant European countries and regions exceeded 1 billion euro. Although the total amount is not large, it is fierce
it was reported on January 2, 2016 that the Bank of England is also considering whether to issue digital currency by the central bank, and the research work is still in the initial stage. Andy Haldane, chief economist of the Bank of England, said that switching to digital currency would be "a great technological leap forward"
DNB, Norway's largest bank, has already cancelled the cash counter service. The bank called on the government to stop using paper money completely. According to the data, only 6% of Norwegians still use cash every day, most of them the elderly. The social cost of cash payment is twice that of electronic money payment. In one day's life, the payment of bus, shopping, payment, refueling, and even parking is completed by swiping the card. Only when the children's school holds a charity sale can the banknotes be used
compared with paper money, digital currency has obvious advantages, which can not only save the cost of issuance and circulation, but also improve the efficiency of transaction or investment, and enhance the convenience and transparency of economic transaction activities. The issue of digital currency by the central bank also ensures the continuity of financial policy and the integrity of monetary policy, and also ensures the security of monetary transactions
although the issuing method of digital currency is still under study, paper currency has been regarded as "the currency of the previous generation" by some professionals, and it is the general trend to be replaced by new technologies and procts. Due to China's large population and volume, the timetable for issuing digital currency is still uncertain. It is predicted that digital currency and cash will be in parallel and graally replaced for quite a long time. When the era of digital currency really comes, people will carry less and less cash, travel more and more safe, poverty alleviation more and more accurate, corruption more and more difficult to escape, and thieves more and more difficult
From 2015 to 2017, the price of bitcoin increased from more than $100 to $17000, a 100 fold increase. Today, the market value of various numerical currencies is more than 700 billion US dollars. The myth of their benefits is not nonsense
but there are many things behind the chaotic digital currency. You may ask why air currency can be listed on the stock exchange? It's very simple. The exchange also has to charge a part of the fee. Raise the price and then sell it to make money. So the question is, how to identify air currency
first of all, you need to look at the projects behind the digital currency and see what their team background is. Generally speaking, teams without experience in the instry tend to earn money, but how much experience do they have? It is better to be able to participate in the construction of Ethereum and bitstock communities. Such a team is often more reliable. This requires investors to have a certain screening ability to identify good or bad
secondly, there is no way to implement many projects. How can we identify them? In addition to the ability of the team, we also need to see the feasibility, which requires us to systematically learn the knowledge of bitcoin and blockchain. For example, Zhu Jiawei, the COO of fire coin network, learned the blockchain from 0 to 1, and clearly described the development process of bitcoin and blockchain in the form of audio and text. Besides, don Tapscott and Alex Tapscott's "blockchain revolution" are worthy of careful taste P>
moreover, the bubble of digital money is very large nowadays. In the bubble, it is not difficult to make money, but the key is not to be greedy. Long term holding is not good, but it can be operated in a short term. You can make money if you want. However, the key is that people are all profit-making and greed is their nature. Therefore, many people do not accept what they see. They originally made money, but later they lost everything. The gain is not worth the loss. Therefore, it is necessary to control greed
Digital currency is a kind of legal tender, which must be issued by the central bank. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digital currency, which is not a network virtual currency, because it is not limited to virtual space, but is often used for real goods and services transactions, such as bitcoin, Wright coin, bitstock, etc. at present, there are thousands of digital currencies issued around the world
extended data:
1. Impact on financial infrastructure
the decentralized mechanism of value exchange based on distributed ledger technology has changed the basic settings of gross and net settlement on which financial market infrastructure depends. The use of distributed ledgers also poses challenges to trading, clearing and settlement, as it promotes the disintermediation of traditional service providers in different markets and infrastructures. These changes may have potential impacts on market infrastructure other than retail payment systems, such as large payment systems, securities settlement systems or trading databases
If digital currency and distributed ledger based technology are widely used, it will bring challenges to the intermediary role of financial system participants, especially banks. As a financial intermediary, banks perform the ties of acting supervisors and supervise borrowers on behalf of depositors. Usually, banks also carry out liquidity and maturity conversion business to realize the financing from depositors to borrowers. If digital currency and distributed ledger are widely used, any subsequent disintermediation may have an impact on savings or credit evaluation mechanismssoftware engineering
