Background and significance of digital currency research

1. On November 13 this year, the official microblog of the people's Bank of China announced that the people's Bank of China has issued legal digital currency, and some institutions falsely use the name of the people's Bank of China to trade relevant digital procts under the title of "DC / EP" or "DCEP" on the digital asset trading platform. The central bank stressed that no legal digital currency (DC / EP) was issued and no asset trading platform was authorized to trade. Neither "DC / EP" nor "DCEP" traded in the market is legal digital currency, and the launch time of legal digital currency transmitted through Internet is inaccurate information<

at present, the so-called issuance of legal digital currency in the Internet, and the behavior of indivial institutions launching "DC / EP" or "DCEP" in the name of the people's Bank of China to conct transactions on the asset trading platform may involve fraud and pyramid selling. The general public should raise their risk awareness, not be partial to trust, and guard against interest damage

Digital money (electronic money or electronic currency) is a kind of money in digital form (different from paper money and coins)

it shows properties similar to physical currency, but it can allow real-time transaction and borderless ownership transfer. Examples include virtual currency, cryptocurrency and currency issued by central bank and recorded in computer database (including digital base currency)

like traditional currencies, these currencies may be used to purchase physical goods and services, but they may also be restricted in some communities, such as online games

digital currency is the currency balance that is electronically recorded on stored value cards or other devices. Another form of electronic currency is network currency, which allows value transfer on computer network, especially on the Internet.

4. The issue of digital currency has many benefits and is imperative. According to the central bank, digital money and paper money will coexist for a long time to come. When people go to the bank to withdraw money, they can not only withdraw cash directly, but also exchange it into digital currency. In Xiaobian's opinion, the establishment and issuance of digital currency system can not only make people's transactions more convenient and safe, but also graally weaken the proportion of paper money in the real circulation, which will also have a positive impact on the electronic disk of postal money card
when people are used to digital currency, paper money will graally withdraw from the circulation market and enter the collection field. In the new environment of payment and circulation, the traditional paper money will become a symbol of an era and a memory of people. The paper money that used to circulate in the market will also become a kind of cultural and artistic investment goods, active on the electronic disk of the post money card. And those earlier and even rarer coins will also stimulate their prices to rise in this situation. It can be seen that the central bank's graal promotion of digital currency will have a profound impact on people's living habits and investment and financial management, which is worth looking forward to Sohu)
however, digital currency does not have to be used for payment. Some domestic application-oriented digital currencies have begun to find another shortcut and come out with a different truth. For example, coin Ying China crowdfunding project token; Puyin group launched the tea based digital currency Puyin.
