Does digital currency require smart phones
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
So far, digital currency has not been officially launched in China. Before introcing digital currency, we should distinguish two concepts, one is mobile payment, the other is digital currency. There is a big difference between the two. Don't think mobile payment is digital currency. At present, China's mobile payment has been very developed, people know more about Alipay, WeChat payment, China UnionPay Express link, etc. These are just payment methods. They use e-money instead of cash to facilitate business transactions. Digital currency is a new type of currency based on blockchain technology
it can be seen that the issue of digital currency has little to do with the people, which is equivalent to adding another currency. The value of this currency is more stable and can be exchanged in the current currency. The main purpose is to facilitate international trade settlement, which has little impact on ordinary retirees
