benefits of digital currency
the digitalization of central bank's currency helps to optimize the central bank's monetary payment function, improve the central bank's monetary status and the effectiveness of monetary policy. The central bank's digital currency can become an interest bearing asset to meet the holder's reserve demand for safe assets, and can also become the lower limit of bank deposit interest rate. It can also become a new monetary policy tool
at the same time, the central bank can affect the bank deposit and loan interest rate by adjusting the digital currency interest rate of the central bank, and help to break the zero interest rate lower limit
As the name suggests, digital money is not real money, but exists in a digital and networked world. However, it can not be completely equivalent to the virtual currency limited in the virtual space such as online games. It is often used for real goods and services transactions. At present, there are thousands of digital currencies issued all over the world
the most famous digital currency is bitcoin. Bitcoin is a kind of virtual currency, which is proced by specific algorithm of computer and does not rely on specific institutions. It is understood that anyone can "manufacture" bitcoin through relevant software, and then use electronic signature to realize circulation. At present, around the world, bitcoin can be exchanged through multiple online exchanges and service providers
so, what's the significance of this digital currency? Why do you have to work hard to do this? For most people, it really won't have any impact, but for a small number of people, it will have a great impact. This small group of people are those who engage in illegal activities
for example, if some people are corrupt and accept bribes, they specify that they can't let others put money on the bank card. That means they are directly arrested, but they can't be found with cash. If we restrict the large amount of cash consumption in the future, for example, if you have to spend more than 5000 at one time, you can't use cash, you need to use digital currency. In this way, those who have bribed tens of millions of cash in their families may not want to spend all their money in their lifetime. And their illegal income doesn't go to the society. It's just paper. They still occupy space at home. Once they start to spend money in digital currency, it's easy to find out. That is to say, all our income will be counted. Once they are involved in crimes, it's easy to be caught. At that time, there will be less Telecom fraud, This is the meaning of digital currency
In 2020, the competition of digital currency is becoming more and more intense, and the new actions and new progress of various countries continue. Since 2014, the Central Bank of China has been promoting the research and development of digital currency, making it clear that digital RMB is mainly positioned as cash in circulation (M0). At present, digital RMB has been tested in Shenzhen, Suzhou, xiong'an, Cheng and the future Winter Olympic Games
Zhang Zhijun: the most basic payment carrier of digital RMB is mobile app. Of course, in order to enable people who do not use smart phones to use digital RMB, there can also be other carriers, such as smart payment card, which can be the same size as credit card, and even have password or biometric authentication functions, so that the holder can use it to pay, or recharge in some outlets. In fact, the process of digital RMB exchange can also be seen as a specific payment process, that is, using digital RMB to buy foreign currency or gold
on September 4, the central bank and other seven ministries and commissions issued the notice on preventing the financing risk of token issuance, and the ICO trading platform was completely suspended. After September 14, the relevant token platforms successively removed procts or stopped trading. After the news came out, digital currency was boiling
some people can't help asking: with the collapse of ICO and the closure of bitcoin platform, is digital currency over? Here the central bank gives the answer. The central bank reports that around the Spring Festival this year, the block chain based digital bill trading platform promoted by the central bank has been tested successfully, and the digital currency Research Institute of the central bank will also be officially listed. China's sovereign digital currency will accelerate its arrival. Then some people will question whether China will proce its own bitcoin? Here, let's talk about what is digital currency:
digital currency
digital currency is different from virtual currency, not bitcoin or q-coin! That is to say, it is different from virtual currencies such as bitcoin and Ethernet
virtual currency can only be closed in circulation on the network, just like Tencent's q-coin and Dashen's coin on the platform of Dashen software collaborative instry ecological chain. They can only be used for one use of their own procts. Digital currency can be used for real goods and services transactions, but only the digital currency issued by the state is legal digital currency, bitcoin is illegal digital currency. As for legal digital currency, there is no unified international definition. Yao Qian, deputy director of the science and Technology Department of the people's Bank of China and head of the preparatory group of the digital currency Research Institute, believes that the digital currency researched and issued by the people's Bank of China is indexed RMB. From the perspective of national schemes, it belongs to legal encrypted digital currency, which is not only a payment tool but also a currency. Correspondingly, virtual currency is also called illegal fixed digital currency. Li Lihui, head of the blockchain working group of China Internet Finance Association, once said that digital currency must have legal status, national sovereignty endorsement, and clear responsibility subject of issuance. Virtual currencies represented by bitcoin and ethereal currency have no country, no sovereign endorsement, no qualified issuers, and no national credit support. These are not digital currencies.
