Sheng Songcheng digital currency
The number of bitcoin is too small to circulate on a large scale in society. Moreover, its existence is not guaranteed by the national credit, but based on the trust between bitcoin players, so the credit of this "currency" is relatively low
moreover, the number of bitcoin is small, and it is too concentrated in the hands of several big players, resulting in its price is very unstable. This is basically not money. Because as a general currency, an important prerequisite is price stability, otherwise the economic order will collapse
bitcoin has no value base; The price fluctuates sharply; There are three basic reasons why bitcoin can't become the world currency e to the lack of support from monetary authorities
can bitcoin become a real currency? http://www.financialnews.com.cn/yw/pl/201401/t20140107_ 47595. HTML
since the birth of the first bitcoin seven years ago, bitcoin has been developing rapidly and caused a lot of controversy. The discussion focuses on how to define bitcoin, whether it can become a currency and even become an international currency in the future
in 2013, bitcoin was very popular in China, not only the price soared, but also was evaluated as "a big challenge to the current monetary system" by some analysts. In early December 2013, the people's Bank of China, together with five ministries and commissions, issued the notice on preventing bitcoin risks, pointing out that bitcoin is a specific virtual commodity, not a real currency. Then, bitcoin prices fell
at the beginning of the new year, on January 4, the National Bank of Malaysia announced on its website that it would not recognize bitcoin as a legal currency, and urged the public to be vigilant against its risks. In fact, since the second half of 2013, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Norway and other countries have successively made their stand against bitcoin trading activities, and they do not recognize bitcoin as a currency in the market
At the same time, it is reported that in January this year, the world's first bitcoin atmrobocoin entered the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets. Companies also plan to launch bitcoin ATMs in more parts of Europe, Canada and the United Stateson the one hand, the relevant regulatory authorities have "made their stand clear"; on the other hand, the global layout of bitcoin has been advancing rapidly. How to determine the nature of bitcoin and its future development momentum have once again attracted the attention of all parties
Sheng Songcheng, director general of the survey and Statistics Department of the people's Bank of China, published an article entitled "virtual currency is not money in essence -- take bitcoin as an example" in his own name, emphasizing that virtual currency represented by bitcoin is not money in essence and it is difficult to become money
he believes that bitcoin lacks national credit support and is difficult to perform the function of commodity exchange medium as the base currency. Modern credit currency (paper money) represents national credit, and actually represents the proction and transaction of commodities in the whole society. As long as the national machine works normally, the coercive force of national laws can give the public trust in the standard currency. Bitcoin has no value itself, no national credit support, and no guarantee of the whole society's commodity proction and trade, so it does not have the value basis of money. In addition, bitcoin has no legal compensation and compulsion, and its circulation range is limited and unstable. Bitcoin has strong substitutability, so it is difficult to be a general equivalent
Secondly, the number and scale of bitcoin have set an upper limit, which is difficult to meet the needs of modern economic development. He believes that there is a contradiction between the limited quantity of bitcoin and the expanding social proction and commodity circulation. If bitcoin becomes the standard currency, it will inevitably lead to deflation and inhibit economic development. The limitation of quantity also makes bitcoin's function as a means of circulation and payment greatly reced, which makes it easier to become a speculative object rather than a medium of exchange Thirdly, bitcoin lacks a central regulation mechanism, which is not compatible with the modern credit currency system. Sheng Songcheng believes that bitcoin does not have a centralized issuer, so it is easy to be over hyped, resulting in excessive price fluctuations, and can not become a pricing currency and circulation means, so it needs to be converted into bitcoin to pay; Bitcoin is also not controlled by the monetary authorities, so it is difficult to play the role of economic adjustment meansat the end of the article, Sheng Songcheng also made it clear that money is inseparable from economic operation and economic development, and is not a pure proct of technology. As long as there is no fundamental change in the form of modern economic and social organizations, the monetary system based on national credit will exist, and bitcoin and other virtual currencies will not become the standard currency of a country, and thus not the real currency, "but the Utopia of technology supremacy and absolute liberalism"
As for the prosperity and significance of bitcoin, Sheng Songcheng explained, "the emergence of bitcoin reflects people's worries about inflation under the condition of credit currency in a sense. Central banks should strengthen liquidity management, reasonably regulate money supply, keep prices basically stable, and promote stable economic and social development. "ring the writing period, our reporter contacted Sheng Songcheng again on issues related to bitcoin. He stressed again in the interview: "bitcoin is not the real currency, the real currency can only be the standard currency."
Sheng Songcheng said, "from the perspective of the history of monetary theory, bitcoin is not new. Its essence is the privatization of currency issuance or the non nationalization of currency. Hayek, a famous Austrian economist and Nobel laureate, put forward a proposal many years ago, and Friedman, a famous American economist, also made a similar proposal. However, their opinions are only a theoretical analysis tool, which is difficult to operate in real economic life, and the modern economy is increasingly inseparable from the country's macro-control. This financial crisis and its response is a good proof. Money is one of the main means of national macro-control and the basis of modern state and government. How can it be privatized? So I use the word "Utopia."“ In my opinion, technology can not replace the national attribute. Any digital currency can only be the realization form of standard currency. Therefore, electronic money will develop, and virtual money is utopia. " Sheng Songcheng said, "as long as there is a modern state, virtual currency will not be a currency. Many people ignore the national and social attributes behind money and think that money is just a natural entity. "as for the future development prospects of bitcoin, a commercial bank analyst interviewed said: "bitcoin trading, as a commodity trading behavior on the Internet, ordinary people have the freedom to participate in it at their own risk, and there is still a lot of room for development in this aspect. At present, in view of the fact that bitcoin has not had any impact on the monetary policy of central banks, and from the perspective of issuing technology, it seems to have enlightenment, so many central banks hold a wait-and-see attitude towards it. "
but as for whether bitcoin can play the role of currency in the future, or even international currency, the analyst said that it is "not optimistic". He said, "even if some countries want to use bitcoin as the world settlement currency, but it is in private hands, and the price fluctuates violently, can it become an international currency? Moreover, the important premise for it to become an international currency is that the authorities of all countries recognize its monetary nature, which itself is a difficult problem. "
Sheng Songcheng also said, "bitcoin does not have a value base; The price fluctuates sharply; There are three basic reasons why bitcoin can't become a world currency without the support of national monetary authorities. "MLM is a new variety of financial MLM
Case:
financial pyramid selling in the guise of virtual currency. Among the financial pyramid schemes promoting electronic virtual currency on the Internet, the most infamous one is Baichuan coin
in less than one year, Zhou yunhuang, the legal representative of Fujian Baichuan coin Network Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Baichuan coin company"), established a multi-level pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid pyramid
in the interview, people in the instry believed that the reason why Baichuan coin can be popular is that it has a set of new, extremely complex and closed-loop operation logic, that is, it organizes the development level according to the nine level order, takes the number of direct and indirect development personnel as the basis of rebate, and uses high return as the t to lure the participants to develop offline to defraud property
a victim of Baichuan currency told China first finance and economics that the investment of Baichuan currency is divided into two parts: static income and dynamic income. The static income investment is 800 yuan. From the next day, investors will pay dividends of 18 yuan a day
among them, 50% are gold coins and 10% are stock purchase coins, that is, 1.8 yuan stock purchase currency can only be used to purchase Baichuan world stock; 3% is consumer currency, that is, 0.54 yuan, which can be purchased in Baichuan mall; 37% of them are gold seed coins, that is, 6.66 yuan. An account can be automatically added with 800 yuan accumulated on the platform
whether it's gold coin, stock purchase coin, Baichuan world stock, shopping consumer coin or gold seed coin, it's all people's self entertainment in the pyramid of closed MLM of Baichuan coin. Some people keep joining, that is, they take home's money and pay home's wages. The so-called Baichuan coin only circulates among these members, and it's useless to get out of this circle
according to the investigation by the reporter of first finance and economics, the Ponzi scheme carried out by lawless elements under the guise of "new economic formats" and "financial innovation" often uses the means of pyramid marketing, and then expands with the help of the Internet, which is highly contagious
and the procts of pyramid selling have changed from the traditional "real economy" such as cosmetics, resource development, planting and breeding to crowdfunding, futures, virtual currency and so on. A victim of Baichuan coin told China first finance and economics that the investment of Baichuan coin is divided into two parts: static income and dynamic income. The static income investment is 800 yuan
from the next day, the investors will pay dividends of 18 yuan per day. Among them, 50% are gold coins and 10% are stock purchase coins, that is, 1.8 yuan stock purchase currency can only be used to purchase Baichuan world stock; 3% is consumer currency, that is, 0.54 yuan, which can be purchased in Baichuan mall; 37% of them are gold seed coins, that is, 6.66 yuan. An account can be automatically added with 800 yuan accumulated on the platform. The evolution of virtual procts and means of capital operation

with the development of information technology, the form of money is also changing. Bitcoin is being promoted as an electronic currency, but it has not been recognized by the regulatory authorities. At the first big data financial forum held recently, Sheng Songcheng, director of the investigation and Statistics Department of the central bank, said that only the central bank's digital currency can have the support of national credit and become a real currency.
the central bank's version of digital currency will first be applied to the bill market. The central bank's version of digital currency is different from the traditional digital currency. The central bank's version of digital currency has monetary attributes.

all kinds of private digital currencies represented by bitcoin have sprung up, developed rapidly and exerted great influence. Many economists and financiers in the world, including central bankers, have been greatly impacted, and some even mistakenly believe that private digital currency may replace sovereign currency. As early as the end of 2013, the author clearly pointed out that virtual currency (including private digital currency) is not a currency in essence and cannot replace sovereign currency [3]. With the passage of time, the non monetary nature of virtual currency is graally recognized by people
private digital currency uses a series of new technologies, which have strong penetration into the financial system and even impact on the operation of modern economy and finance. Therefore, in order to maintain the stability of the monetary system and even the whole financial system, the monetary authorities must also use the same or even more advanced technology and design to study the issue of central bank digital currency. If the private digital currency is allowed to develop disorderly, it will have a serious impact on the monetary authorities' policy regulation and the economic and financial system
first, if private digital money is diverted and replaced by some sovereign money, the effectiveness of monetary policy will be weakened and the transmission mechanism will be distorted. Private currency and sovereign currency are in the relationship of one ebb and flow. With the continuous expansion of the scope of use of private digital currency, the use of sovereign currency will graally decline, which will rece the monetary authority's control over sovereign currency. At the same time, the influence of monetary policy regulation on the supply and circulation of sovereign money will decline and become unstable, which will weaken the effectiveness of monetary policy and distort the transmission mechanism. If the private digital currency is widely used but not issued and regulated by the monetary authority, the modern economy will lose an important means of regulation, and the economy will not function normally because it is not regulated by monetary policy< Second, the value of private digital currency fluctuates greatly, which threatens financial stability. Private digital currency is not a real currency without national credit endorsement. Its price is easily affected by market expectations, and its volatility is very high, so it is difficult to guarantee the market liquidity. With the expansion of the scope and scale of private digital currency, the probability of indivial private digital currency risk evolving into systemic risk will also rise< Thirdly, the supply of private digital money is relatively fixed, which is difficult to meet the needs of modern economic development. Taking bitcoin as an example, there is a contradiction between the upper limit of supply set by the system and the expanding social proction and commodity circulation. If it is widely used, it will cause deflation and inhibit economic development. This is also the root cause of the collapse of the gold standard
Fourth, private digital currency lacks a central regulation mechanism, which is difficult to meet the needs of the stability of the modern monetary system. The so-called "decentralization" without centralized issuing and regulating institutions is a common feature of private digital currency. If the private digital currency is generally accepted by the whole society, and the monetary authority is unable to stabilize the currency value through the central adjustment mechanism, it will not only cause economic fluctuations, but also shake the monetary system based on national credit[ 4]
fifthly, private digital currency brings challenges to anti money laundering, anti terrorist financing and capital control. Private digital currency is characterized by anonymity of transaction and free transnational flow of funds, which makes it easy for criminals to cover up the source and investment direction of their funds, and indivials to evade the regulations on the amount of foreign exchange and foreign exchange remittance [5], which brings convenience to money laundering, terrorist financing and capital control evasion< Sixth, private digital currency increases the difficulty of consumer protection. The price of private digital currency fluctuates greatly, market participants are almost not regulated, the security of users' funds is not guaranteed, and the transaction is not transparent. Therefore, private digital currency transactions are prone to fraud, theft and fraud. This not only causes the lack of protection of consumers' rights and interests, but also increases the difficulty of evidence collection and investigation by the regulatory authorities[ 6]
therefore, in order to deal with the impact of the rapid development of private digital currency on monetary sovereignty, monetary policy, financial risk and consumer protection, the monetary authorities clearly realize that the state should start to study the issue of central bank digital currency as soon as possible. In the future, with the support of national credit, the digital currency of the central bank should continuously meet the requirements of the society for the use of money technology and become a widely recognized settlement and payment method. Only in this way can the monetary authorities expand the use of sovereign currency and rece the impact of private digital currency on the monetary system and the entire financial system Transferred from NetEase Finance)
according to media reports, before the Spring Festival, the block chain based digital bill transaction promoted by the people's Bank of China has been successfully tested. After the Spring Festival, the digital currency Research Institute of the central bank will also be officially listed. This means that the people's Bank of China will become the first central bank to study digital currency and its real application
