What level does digital currency belong to

1.

1. The concept range is different. bitcoin is a kind of digital currency, and the concept of digital currency covers bitcoin

However, some digital currencies have independent issuers

The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total quantity of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity. 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 21 million

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. Bitcoin is a digital currency

digital currency is different from the virtual currency in the virtual world, because it can be used for real goods and services transactions, not limited to online games. The early digital currency (digital gold currency) is a form of electronic currency named after the weight of gold

today's digital currencies, such as bitcoin, lettercoin and ppcoin, are electronic currencies created, issued and circulated by means of check sum cryptography. It is characterized by the use of P2P peer-to-peer network technology to issue, manage and circulate currency. In theory, it avoids bureaucratic examination and approval, so that everyone has the right to issue currency

illegal digital currency

in recent years, "virtual currency" represented by bitcoin, Ethernet currency and Leyte currency has been traded centrally on some Internet platforms. With the help of financial technology, the price of these "currencies" has graally spread to investment, financing and other financial fields, which has aroused wide attention from all walks of life

not long ago, the people's Bank of China and other seven ministries and commissions jointly issued the announcement on preventing the financing risk of token issuance, which clearly regulated the relevant behaviors. Experts pointed out that "virtual currency" is not legal tender (legal currency) issued by monetary authorities, but a specific virtual commodity in essence

therefore, it is undoubtedly a great legal and economic risk to think that "virtual currency" has or will have the nature of legal tender and to carry out speculation, network fund-raising, lending and financing

2.

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

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

3. In western economics, LMC and SMC represent respectively, M represents margin, LMC represents long-term marginal cost, SMC represents short-term marginal cost, plus lac's long-term average cost, sac's short-term average cost, AC, to synthesize two graphs, which are used to illustrate several critical points, such as when the profit is the largest, when to start to lose, when to stop proction, etc. Western economics refers to the paradigm of political economy which is proced and popular in western countries. In a narrow sense, it refers to the paradigm of western bourgeois political economy. In a broad sense, it includes the paradigm of Marxist political economy. Western economics and Eastern economics are different economic paradigms. Western economics is mainly a paradigm concept, not just a regional concept. Since the reform and opening up, the popular Neo liberal economics in China also belongs to western economics.

4. This question actually leads to a topic worthy of discussion: how do we see the "use" of the existing digital currency? Or how do we divide our understanding of digital currency

this division of cognition not only helps us understand digital currency, but also guides our behavior in the process of investment. So I'm going to analyze this topic in two or three articles
from the perspective of cognition, I divide all digital currencies into the following three categories:

the first category is that their value and consensus have been strongly recognized, almost indisputable, and have been transmitted from within the circle to outside the circle. This kind of currency is the least in the whole field of digital currency
this kind of currency typically includes bitcoin and Taiwan dollar. Bitcoin is recognized as "digital gold" and has repeatedly shown the characteristics of "sea calming needle" when the external political and economic environment is unstable; The profit model of platform currency is clear, especially the top three platform currencies have solid cash flow and income relying on the exchange
when talking about this kind of currency, both their consensus and value are highly recognized in the instry, and ordinary people can understand it outside the instry
when we talk about bitcoin with ordinary people, as long as we tell them that gold goes up, bitcoin goes up; When talking about platform currency with ordinary people, just tell them that platform currency is equivalent to the stock of securities companies, and they will immediately understand what we are talking about
although some people outside the instry do not agree with some consensus (for example, some people still do not agree with the value of bitcoin), this does not prevent ordinary people from understanding what we are talking about
the second type is that consensus has been reached, but the actual use value is still being proved, or the so-called "use value" can not show us the actual effect for the time being. This kind of currency is slightly more than the first kind, but also very few in the whole field of digital currency
this kind of currency typically includes Ethereum, EOS and cross chain projects in the field of smart contract

take Ethereum and EOS for example, they are highly expected by the instry. We hope to see that their smart contract function can proce killer applications and bring higher efficiency and lower cost to our daily life
in the past two years, Ethereum has developed a highly concerned defi Ecology (defi, decentralized finance, often referred to as distributed finance or decentralized Finance) in the instry
however, does this ecology have a direct relationship with the life of ordinary people or bring direct benefits? In fact, it does not exist at all. It is still a "niche ecology" in a small circle, far away from our daily life
the ecosystem developed by EOS in the past two years is far from the areas where we expect to bring value into play, and even there are not many people in the instry who pay attention to it
the concept of cross chain project is very novel when it first came out, and it is also considered by the instry to have great potential demand. But after a period of discussion, some people began to question whether this demand really exists
the instry has a consensus, or even a high consensus, on these currencies, but their current value is not satisfactory. Therefore, even if they are recognized by the instry, it is difficult for this consensus to be transmitted outside the instry, not to mention that ordinary people can understand these consensus and values
so we can't talk with ordinary people about what "defi" and "cross chain" are and what's the use

the third category is the currency whose consensus is still in the process of forming. The design objectives and scenarios of this kind of currency may not be understood or recognized by the instry, or even there are great differences in understanding. Their value is even more difficult to judge. This kind of currency accounts for the vast majority of the current market.

5. Hello! Although it is possible to play, but the ability to resist risk, everyone is not the same. The risk of this kind of thing is relatively high.
