The total amount of digital currency is certain

1.

The total number of bitcoins is 21 million

in 2009, when bitcoin was born, block reward was 50 bitcoins. Ten minutes after its birth, the first 50 bitcoins were generated, and the total amount of money at this time is 50. Then bitcoin grew at a rate of about 50 every 10 minutes. When the total amount reaches 10.5 million (50% of 21 million), the block reward will be halved to 25

when the total amount reaches 15.75 million (5.25 million new output, i.e. 50% of 1050), the block reward will be further halved to 12.5. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to about 21 million

monetary characteristics

1. Decentralization: bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, and the whole network is composed of users without a central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of bitcoin's security and freedom

2. Global circulation: bitcoin can be managed on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where you are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin

3. Exclusive ownership: private key is needed to control bitcoin, which can be stored in any storage medium in isolation. No one can get it except the user himself

4. Low transaction cost: bitcoin can be remitted free of charge, but a transaction fee of about 1 bitfen will be charged for each transaction to ensure faster transaction execution

5, no hidden cost: as a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome limit of quota and proceres. If you know the other party's bitcoin address, you can pay

6. Cross platform Mining: users can explore the computing power of different hardware on many platforms

2. digital currency is abbreviated as digiccy, which is the abbreviation of "digital currency" in English. It is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digiccy

digital currency is an unregulated and digital currency, which is usually issued and managed by developers and accepted and used by members of a specific virtual community. The European Banking authority defines virtual currency as a digital representation of value, which is not issued by the central bank or authorities, nor linked with legal currency. However, because it is accepted by the public, it can be used as a means of payment, or it can be transferred, stored or traded in electronic form

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 mechanisms

4. It shows that the total amount of this kind of digital currency is relatively large, and the total amount of many digital currencies is as high as 10 billion. The circulation of some MLM coins is not constant and can be increased or split at will. Moreover, there are many different digital currencies in the world, and the number of each digital currency is very considerable
the well-known digital currencies in the currency circle include bitcoin, Ruitai coin, Laite coin, doggy coin, etc.

5. The total amount of money in DCEP is not constant

why

let's take a look at the current definition of DCEP

Digital legal tender

in addition to being different from legal paper money in carrier, it has the same function as paper money: value scale, circulation means, payment means and value storage

this is also the function of paper money

the issuance of DCEP is based on 100% reserve and will circulate with cash currency, that is, M0 issuance

although the central bank's digital currency was slowly launched after the rise of blockchain technology, it is not pure blockchain technology, but only uses some technologies related to blockchain

we all know that the commercial application of block chain technology still faces many problems, such as concurrency, data storage and so on

a country with a large population like ours, if we use blockchain technology in a strict sense, it will not be able to carry it at present<

Wanxiang blockchain analysis:

from the information disclosed by the people's Bank of China, DC / EP does not use the real blockchain like Libra

although digital currency is not a token in the blockchain, it is similar to the token in the blockchain in the key features of non double flower, anonymity, unforgeability, security, transitivity, separability and programmability

therefore, DC / EP still belongs to token paradigm rather than account paradigm

the central bank is responsible for the maintenance of the DC / EP issuance registration subsystem, which is centralized and does not need to run consensus algorithm, so it will not be subject to the performance bottleneck of the blockchain

in DC / EP, blockchain is used to confirm the right registration of digital currency and plays an auxiliary role

each country's base currency issuance is increasing every year

therefore, the central bank's digital currency improves the bearing property of money. Paper money is naturally suitable for the atomic world, and digital currency is more suitable for the consumption scenarios in the bit world

the supply is definitely the same as that of the previous monetary system, increasing every year.

6. In the final analysis, e-money is just conceptual money information. It is actually a special information composed of a group of data including the user's identity, password, amount, scope of use, etc., so it can also be called digital money; E-money is the virtualization of the value scale of real money and the function of payment means. It is a kind of money without monetary entity. Electronic currency is a kind of invisible currency based on highly developed electronic technology; It can be used to represent the currency value of various amounts in reality. With the transformation from paper-based economy to digital economy, e-cash will become the mainstream, which can be paid on the Internet or through other electronic communication methods. This kind of currency has no physical form and is the holder's financial credit.
whether electronic currency can be called currency depends on whether electronic currency can independently perform the function of currency. At present, e-money can play the role of payment and settlement, but e-money is only a quasi currency that may perform the function of currency.
e-money can be divided into two types: one is e-cash based on the Internet environment and keeps the binary data representing the value of money in the hard disk of the computer terminal; One is the electronic wallet that keeps the monetary value in the IC card and can be circulated without the bank payment system
therefore, from an economic point of view, the use of e-money can indeed rece the circulation of paper money
