Digital currency reform of the central bank
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.
The digital currency of the central bank is DCEP
the name of the digital currency developed by the central bank is DCEP (digital currency electronic payment). DC is digital currency. EP is electronic payment. Payment transmits digital things through a certain way, not paper currency. Therefore, electronic payment itself has the attribute of digital currency
The characteristics of digital currency are: low transaction cost; Fast trading speed; Highly anonymous
extended data
Application of digital currency
I. fast, economic and safe payment and settlement
cross border payment helps RMB internationalization. In 2015, the settlement volume of cross-border payment involving current account is about 8 trillion yuan. To accelerate the internationalization of RMB, cross-border payment and settlement procts and solutions with low cost, high efficiency and low risk are needed
At present, there are still a lot of repetitive human work in the bank's electronic loan process and processing process, and as the basic support of loan issuance, many of the collateral has the situation of false pricing or multiple or even no collateral. We can consider using digital currency to price and track bank collateral:3. Bill finance and supply chain finance
in recent years, various bill market businesses based on commercial bills have grown rapidly, and bill financing procts have become a hot area of Internet financing. However, about 70% of the current bill businesses in China are still paper transactions, Supply chain finance is also highly dependent on labor costs

network digital currency
we speculate that once the central bank issues digital currency in the future, the periphery of the structure must be a decentralized system. At present, blockchain is the best choice
when talking about digital currency, the central bank also mentioned another concept, which is called programmable currency. How to understand? For the computer, it has a certain internal self-control function. Take the early object-oriented language as an example, it requires at least two functions, one is the constructor, the other is the destructor. You have to solve the problem of its creation as well as its extinction
through programming, the central bank can control the whole life cycle of money creation, circulation and withdrawal
in the absence of digital currency and programmable currency, the currency issued by the central bank circulates freely in the society. How to return to the cage in the end? One is the return of derivative currency of commercial banks, the other is the return of basic currency of central bank. The former is controlled by the central bank through deposit reserve and other policies, while the latter is controlled by the tax system. If we go up to programmable digital currency in the future, the central bank will have much more control. Even in circulation, control can be increased. That's why central banks are very interested in blockchain technology.
1. High liquidity
every good and reliable digital currency is essential. Every digital currency should have strong liquidity, not only in the scope of third-party trading platform, but also in offline entities or countries like bitcoin
Second, lower volatility
generally, volatility comes from the influence of third-party trading platform, which is similar to stock trading. Strong operators need to control the market to prevent the digital currency market from soaring or plummeting. Therefore, the volatility of a digital currency can show whether the digital currency can develop stably
Third, tradability one of the most important properties of digital currency is tradability. If a digital currency does not have tradability, the digital currency is basically useless. Only when a digital currency has tradability can it have liquidity and volatility Fourth, the nature of decentralization digital currency has the characteristics of decentralization. Digital money is neither controlled nor manipulated by centralized entities. That is to say, no indivial or third party can obtain the user's digital currency Fifth, the value of digital currency is increasing based on the market demand. It is not subject to government regulation or operation, which is not like legal money. The rise and fall of digital currency price depends on the transactions between users on the third-party trading platformthe central bank has never issued digital currency, and now it is just studying it
the bank for International Settlements (BIS), known as the "Central Bank of the world's central banks", issued a report on September 17, 2017, saying that the policy decision of whether the central bank provides digital alternatives for cash is the most urgent in a country with declining cash flow, such as Sweden, but all central banks must finally face the choice of whether the issuance of CBDC meets their own needs.
the labor procts collected on the ground must not be counted, but must be processed.
the self-sufficient ones must not be counted, and they must be exchanged. For example, the cloth proced by men and women in ancient times was used by themselves. Therefore, it is not a virtual currency.
virtual currency originally refers to unreal currency, which is used in games,
virtual money in computer games will also have its real value. For example, if a player buys his account from another player, he can get all the virtual assets of that player, and then it will be much easier for the player to continue playing. If the game allows players to transfer virtual property, players can buy and sell game props and pay in real currency. If the game props are priced by virtual currency in the game, then the exchange rate between real currency and virtual currency is established
so its value comes.
the value in textbooks is different from the value mentioned above. Value is a kind of social labor result condensed in procts, You should have learned that the amount of value is determined by the social necessary labor time.
the so-called price is just a form of monetary expression of value...
the value in textbooks is a kind of physical value. How can I tell you?
take the stock market for example, some people make money, so can you say that the stock market creates value? No, he doesn't create, he just redistributes wealth...
let's take the use value as an example, remember its definition
the utility of goods that can meet people's needs
is it goods, is virtual currency goods? The so-called goods are made up of atoms...
besides value, the so-called value is that value appears with the emergence of human beings and is defined by human subjective consciousness. Value is a kind of surreal norm or ideal, It's God's creation. Whether a thing has value or not depends on the logic of the concept system, which is a surreal, ideal state, or God given
value comes from nature, and develops with human evolution and social development. The ultimate origin of value can only be the moving
material world and the working human society. The virtual currency belongs to a part of human society... So it is valuable, but from the perspective of textbooks, it is far fetched
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
