Digital currency has been implemented
bitcoin can exist only because both sides of the transaction recognize its transaction value, so anyone can design virtual currency independently. Ars technica, for example, announced this week that it would create its own cryptocurrency, arscoin[ 2]
Cohen believes that the main threat to digital cryptocurrency is how to keep it safely, and the loss of mt.gox bitcoin once again highlights this problem. Recently, the US Congress has also launched a debate on digital cryptocurrency. Some members believe that the supervision of the bitcoin should be strengthened to avoid risks. Another congressman, Jared polis, believes that the US dollar has similar defects to bitcoin, so if bitcoin is banned, then the US dollar note should also be banned[ 2]
digital currency has a short history of development in the world, but it develops rapidly. Many countries are trying to sum up experiences and lessons through official or non-governmental efforts.
China, as a global mobile payment power, Alipay and WeChat have long been a national payment method. It is almost no need to carry a wallet now. Shopping just sweeps away, does not need purse, do not change, really feel the convenience, and whether it is Alipay or WeChat payment, the experience is very good. p> The DCEP, which will be launched by the central bank at the end of this year, indicates that the replacement of paper money is inevitable. So, will WeChat and Alipay be terminated? What's the difference between them
{rrrrrrr}
you can imagine such a scene: as long as you and I have DCEP digital wallets on mobile phones, we don't even need the network. As long as the mobile phone has power, two mobile phones touch each other, and we can transfer the digital currency in one person's digital wallet to another person P>
four, WeChat and Alipay must first bind the bank card, then pay the with Alipay or WeChat payment code. DCEP doesn't need to be bound to a bank account. The transfer between users is independent of the bank account. This is the same as bitcoin and other digital currencies. As long as you have a digital wallet of DCEP, you can scan the code to pay P>
in fact, DCEP and WeChat pay, Alipay is very similar in the payment scenario, and the experience is expected to be very similar in the future. In the future, as long as electronic payment can be used, there will be digital payment ports of the central bank P>
so, for the common people, with DCEP, you just have a more payment method, as if mobile payment had Alipay first, and you could also pay WeChat. Use whatever is convenient. However, the emergence of digital money will also be a part of WeChat's payments and Alipay's share of 90%+, which now occupies the mobile payment market share. p>
the DCEP issued by the central bank is a digital currency, which is very similar to Alipay and WeChat payment. But it is different from Alipay and WeChat, because it is more like paper money, and the third party can not get the information from both sides of the transaction. It is anonymous and centralization, and the endorsement of the state can be assured.
what is the use of central bank digital currency
from the perspective of the central bank, if the central bank wants to put in funds, it doesn't need these scientific and technological means to trigger conditions at all, it could have done it
for users, they have one more option when paying. Users only need to download the central bank's digital currency wallet app, and then associate with their existing bank accounts to exchange the previous banknotes into the corresponding digital currency
for the current mobile payment, users are still accustomed to using Alipay and WeChat to pay. But how to say? Personally, Alipay was originally a professional payment software, but after all these years of development, the Alipay interface is extremely complex, and the user experience is not very friendly.
as for wechat payment, wechat started from social networking at first, and has evolved from professional social software to comprehensive software in recent years. To put it plainly, whether it is Alipay or WeChat, it seems that it has deviated from its original intention. This may bring opportunities to the central bank's digital currency
when will central bank digital currency become popular
according to the bank, considering that the early digital RMB is only limited to the pilot, it will not be issued in large quantities and promoted comprehensively in the short term, and the speed of currency circulation will also maintain a normal level
many people say that digital money has no effect on Alipay. I beg to differ. As Ma Yun said, sometimes it's just a document that beats you. What is the impact of the central bank's digital currency on Alipay? Let's wait and see.
