digital currency can be considered as a virtual currency based on node network and digital encryption algorithm. The core characteristics of digital currency are mainly reflected in three aspects:
1. Due to some open algorithms, digital currency has no issuing subject, so no one or organization can control its issuing
Because the number of algorithm solutions is determined, the total amount of digital currency is fixed, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of inflation caused by the overuse of virtual currency3. Because the transaction process needs the approval of each node in the network, the transaction process of digital currency is safe enough
1. Digital currency
digital currency is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Both digital gold coin and password currency belong to 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 currency, such as bitcoin, lightcoin and ppcoin, is an electronic currency created, issued and circulated by check sum cryptography
features: the use of P2P peer-to-peer network technology to issue, manage and circulate currency theoretically avoids bureaucratic examination and approval, so that everyone has the right to issue currency
Electronic money means that a certain amount of cash or deposit is exchanged from the issuer and the data representing the same amount is obtained. By using some electronic methods, the data is directly transferred to the payment object, so that the debt can be paid off. Strictly speaking, consumers pay traditional money to the issuers of electronic money, and the issuers store the equal value of traditional money in the electronic devices held by consumers in electronic form. In short, when we deposit money into our bank account, there will be an extra number in the bank account, which means how much money we have saved. In this process, we give the banknotes in our hands to the bank, and the bank adds a number to our bank card, which is our electronic currencyfeatures:
< UL >e-money and paper money (or physical money) can be easily converted to each other
the data of electronic currency corresponds to the same amount of physical currency
we need to pay physical money to the issuers of e-money (banks and other financial institutions) in order to exchange for the same amount of e-money
3. The similarity between digital currency and electronic currency: both exist in the form of electronic data
The differences between digital currency and electronic currency are as follows:electronic currency has an issuing institution, and the corresponding amount of physical currency in the institution can be exchanged with physical currency; However, digital currency has no specific issuing institution (decentralization) and can only exist in network data
at present, there is no international consensus on whether digital currency is a currency or not, so in China, the main form of digital currency is "investment proct", which is a rather risky investment proct, and only a few businesses are willing to accept digital currency consumption; Of course, some countries (Germany, etc.) have officially recognized the currency status of digital currency
In recent years, the rise of financial technology drives the digital and intelligent development of finance, and the form of money is also evolving. Recently, the news of digital currency has attracted people's attention, and there is still a lot of gap with the current online payment
digital currency, bitcoin? There is no real value.
with the continuous March of Internet giants such as Facebook / Wal Mart into blockchain, they are ready to issue their own digital currency; Once again, the digital currency to the public view. Whether digital currency can replace electronic payment is also the focus of attention
with the rise of blockchain, digital currency has the advantages of blockchain technology, such as decentralized / distributed / open and transparent / not easy to be tampered with. So it is not impossible for digital currency to replace electronic payment, but it is still difficult for the current policy supervision
digital currency needs to be popularized step by step, which is not easy to be implanted too quickly. At present, there are some misunderstandings about digital currency
the soaring of bitcoin and other digital currencies ring this decade actually benefited from marketing, that is, speculative concept speculation, while the actual circulation value was not fully displayed. At the same time, the public does not have a good understanding of the concept of blockchain technology, because blockchain technology itself involves a wide range of fields and is difficult to understand
the popularity of blockchain and the public's misunderstanding of the concept of digital currency are one of the major reasons for the development of digital currency
