Basic attributes of digital currency
compared with traditional bank transfer, remittance and other methods, digital currency transaction does not need to pay fees to a third party, and its transaction cost is lower, especially compared with cross-border payment which provides high service charges to payment service providers
2. Fast transaction speed
the blockchain technology used in digital currency has the characteristics of decentralization, High anonymity
in addition to the point-to-point transaction without intermediary participation, one of the advantages of digital currency over other electronic payment methods is that it supports remote point-to-point payment, It doesn't need any trusted third party as an intermediary, and the two sides of the transaction can complete the transaction in a completely strange situation without mutual trust. Therefore, it has higher anonymity and can protect the privacy of traders, but it also creates convenience for cyber crime, which is easy to be used by money laundering and other criminal activities
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 mechanismsit's not a reality. Up to now, I still think it's stupid to make money by buying and selling domain names. I know it happens sometimes. It's like a high-risk, low return investment
as a result, the Internet did. Now, 20 years on, domain names are cheap, and search engines make them brand specific Note: the author means that the convenience of search engines makes domain names cheaper and cheaper. Domain names are only related to brands.)
What does this have to do with the value of bitcoin
this is an example of how people's views on value change with the development of technology
at this point, most people see bitcoin as money. The chairman of the US SEC said, "yes, that's how drug gangs use it. Everyone I know thinks so.". It's called "bit coin" for a reason
bitcoin maximalists call it hard currency, critics call it fake money, and veteran players call it cyber currency

the functions and properties of digital currency are exactly the same as paper money, but its form is digital Mu Changchun, director of the digital currency Research Institute of the central bank, said that the central bank's digital currency is a digital alternative to paper money, that is, digital currency and electronic payment tools. If we regard the digital currency issued by the central bank as digital RMB cash, we can understand the concept of digital currency very well
Mu Changchun once described such a use scenario: as long as you and I have DC / EP digital wallets on mobile phones, we don't even need the network. As long as the mobile phone has electricity and two mobile phones touch each other, we can transfer the digital currency in one person's digital wallet to another person. Digital money does not need to bind any bank account when it is paid, unlike WeChat and Alipay bank. p>
fan Yifei, vice governor of the central bank, said that the central bank's digital currency focuses on replacing M0 (i.e. banknotes and coins), and maintains the properties and main features of cash, which meets the needs of portability and anonymity, and will be the best tool to replace cash
