Foreign literature of digital currency
unlike all currencies, bitcoin does not rely on a specific currency institution to issue. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on a specific algorithm. Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses cryptography design to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction. The design based on cryptography can make bitcoin only be transferred or paid by the real owner. This also ensures the anonymity of money ownership and circulation transactions. The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total amount of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity
on December 17, 2017, bitcoin reached an all-time high of $19850. On July 27, 2020, bitcoin broke through the $10000 mark again [2]<

what is the single bitcoin selected

from the transaction of things In 2008, the global financial crisis broke out. On November 1 of the same year, a person who called himself Satoshi Nakamoto published the white paper bitcoin: a peer-to-peer e-cash system [6] on the P2P foundation website, stating his new idea of e-money bitcoin came out. On January 3, 2009, bitcoin Genesis block was born
there are three bitcoins in total
compared with legal tender, bitcoin does not have a centralized issuer, but is generated by the calculation of network nodes. Anyone can participate in the manufacture of bitcoin, and it can circulate all over the world. It can be bought and sold on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where they are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or receive bitcoin, And in the transaction process, foreigners can not identify the user's identity information. On January 5, 2009, bitcoin, which is not controlled by the central bank and any financial institutions, was born. Bitcoin is a kind of digital currency, which is composed of a series of complex codes generated by computer. The new bitcoin is made by preset program
whenever bitcoin comes into the view of mainstream media, mainstream media always ask some mainstream economists to analyze bitcoin. Earlier, these analyses always focused on whether bitcoin was a scam. Now the analysis is always focused on whether bitcoin can become the mainstream currency in the future. The focus of the debate is often on the deflationary nature of bitcoin[ 7]
many bitcoin players are attracted by the fact that bitcoin can not be added at will. Contrary to the attitude of bitcoin players, economists have a polarized attitude towards the fixed amount of 21 million bitcoin
Keynesian economists believe that the government should actively regulate the total amount of money, and use the tightness of monetary policy to timely fuel or brake the economy. As a result, they believe that bitcoin's fixed aggregate currency sacrifices its adjustability, and worse still, it will inevitably lead to deflation, thereby harming the overall economy. Austrian economists hold the opposite view. They think that the less the government intervenes in money, the better. The deflation caused by the fixed amount of money is not a big deal, even a sign of social progress
bitcoin network generates new bitcoin through "mining". In essence, the so-called "mining" is to use computers to solve a complex mathematical problem to ensure the consistency of bitcoin network distributed accounting system. Bitcoin network will automatically adjust the difficulty of mathematical problems, so that the whole network will get a qualified answer about every 10 minutes. Then bitcoin network will generate a certain amount of bitcoin as block reward to reward the person who gets the answer[ 6]
in 2009, when bitcoin was born, block rewards were 50 bitcoins. Ten minutes after its birth, the first 50 bitcoins were generated, and the total amount of money at this time is 50. Then bitcoin grew at a rate of about 50 every 10 minutes. When the total amount reaches 10.5 million (50% of 21 million), the block reward will be halved to 25. When the total amount reaches 15.75 million (5.25 million new output, i.e. 50% of 1050), the block reward will be further halved to 12.5. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to about 21 million[ 3]
bitcoin is a virtual currency with limited quantity, but it can be used to cash out: it can be converted into the currency of most countries. You can use bitcoin to buy some virtual items, such as clothes, hats, equipment, etc. in online games. As long as someone accepts it, you can also use bitcoin to buy real-life items
on February 25, 2014, the opening price of "bitcoin China" was 3562.41 yuan. By 4:40 p.m., the price had dropped to 3185 yuan, down more than 10%. According to the historical market data of the platform, on January 27, 2014, 1 bitcoin could be exchanged for 5032 yuan. This means that in less than a month on the platform, the price of bitcoin has dropped by 36.7%
on September 9 of the same year, the US e-commerce giant eBay announced that Braintree, its payment processing subsidiary, would start accepting bitcoin payments. The company has entered into a partnership with coinbase, a bitcoin trading platform, to begin to accept this relatively new means of payment
although the eBay market trading platform and paypal business do not accept bitcoin payment, Braintree customers such as airbnb, a travel house rental community, and Uber, a car rental service, will be able to start accepting this virtual currency. Braintree, whose main business is to provide payment processing software to enterprises, was acquired by eBay in 2013 for about $800 million
on the evening of January 22, 2017, fire coin, bitcoin China and okcoin announced on their respective official websites that in order to further curb speculation and prevent drastic price fluctuations, all platforms will start to collect transaction service fees from 12:00 noon on January 24, and the service fees will be charged at a fixed rate of 0.2% of the transaction amount, and the active transaction and passive transaction rates are the same[ 8] On May 5, according to the latest data of okcoin, the price of bitcoin has just set a new record, reaching a high of 9222 yuan by the time of publication. From 12:00 noon on January 24, China's three major bitcoin platforms officially began to collect transaction fees. On September 4, the central bank and other seven ministries and commissions announced that China banned virtual currency trading
on December 17 of the same year, bitcoin reached an all-time high of $19850
on November 25, 2018, bitcoin broke the $4000 mark and then stabilized at more than $3000[ 9] On November 19, cryptocurrency resumed its decline, and bitcoin fell to the $5000 mark for the first time since October 2017, e to BCH's hard bifurcations and the regulatory authorities' enhanced scrutiny of the initial token issue (ICO)[ 9] At 4:30 a.m. on November 21, the offer of bitcoin on the coinbase platform fell below $4100, a 13 month low
in April 2019, bitcoin broke the $5000 mark again, reaching a new high in the year[ 10] On May 12, bitcoin broke through $7000 for the first time in nearly eight months[ 11] On May 14, according to the offer of coin market cap, bitcoin stood at $8000, up 14.68% in 24 hours[ 12]
on June 22 of the same year, the price of bitcoin broke through the $10000 mark. Bitcoin prices fluctuated around 10200, rising nearly 7% in 24 hours[ 13] On June 26, the price of bitcoin broke through $12000, a 17 month high since January last year[ 14] In the morning of June 27, the price of bitcoin was close to $14000, reaching a new high of the year[ 15]
on February 10, 2020, bitcoin broke through $10000. According to trading data, bitcoin's price rose more than 3%, breaking the psychological limit of $10000 for the first time since October 26 last year[ 16]
on March 12, according to the data of bitstamp, the cryptocurrency trading platform, the lowest price of bitcoin dropped to US $5731 at 19:44[ 17]
on May 8, bitcoin broke through the $10000 mark, a new high since February[ 18]
from 8:00 a.m. on May 10, the unit price of bitcoin fell by thousands of dollars from $9500 in half an hour, with the lowest price falling below $8200 and the highest price difference exceeding $1400[ 19]
at 6 p.m. on July 26, bitcoin rose rapidly for a short time, reaching a maximum of 10150.15usdt, with a maximum increase of more than 4% within the day. This is the first time since June 2, 2020 that bitcoin has exceeded the $10000 level[ 2]
bitcoin has been "forked" more than 100 times in two years. How about those forked coins now

overseas mining rise: batch construction of us factories, On November 1, 2008, a self styled Satoshi Nakamoto published a bitcoin white paper, bitcoin: a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, on the P2P foundation website, stating his new idea of electronic money bitcoin came out
Wang yuexinyi, Professor of mathematics at Kyoto University, was born on January 3, 2009. Bitcoin uses distributed ledger to get rid of the constraints of third-party institutions, which Nakamoto calls "blockchain". Users are willing to dedicate the computing power of CPU and run a special software to be a "digger", which will form a network to maintain the "regional chain". In the process, they also generate new money. Business is also extended on this network. Computers running this software are scrambling to solve the problem of irreversible code, which contains several business data. The first miner to deal with the problem will get a 50 bitcoin reward, and the relevant trading area will join the chain. As the number of "miners" increases, the difficulty of each puzzle also increases, which keeps the proctivity of bitcoin in each trading area at about 10 minutes
in 2009, Nakamoto designed a digital currency, namely bitcoin. The booming bitcoin market has gone up and down, and the identity of its founder "Nakamoto" has always been a mystery. Rumors about "the father of bitcoin" involve from the US National Security Agency to financial experts, and also give bitcoin a mysterious aura
according to foreign media reports, computer scientist Ted Nelson released a video on the Internet on Sunday, saying that he has determined that the founder of bitcoin is Shinichi Mochizuki, a professor of mathematics at Kyoto University. The founders of bitcoin have always used
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. E-money is also a creditor's right to other financial institutions such as private banks or bank deposits
digital money can be centralized, that is, it has a central point to control the money supply, or it can be decentralized, that is, the control power can have different sources

the media's attention to the central bank's digital currency has increased significantly, especially after Zuckerberg testified in Congress on the Libra issue and Christina Lagarde acknowledged the "clear demand" for stable currency at her first media reception as president of the European Central Bank, which seems to have changed the public's view on this matter, Let many people in cryptocurrency community think that cbdcs is in sight<
according to the latest survey report released by the bank for International Settlements, central banks in the past seven years have been investigating this technology and assessing its impact. Of the 63 central banks surveyed, 55 said they were unlikely to issue cbdcs in the next three years, and only one reported that they were "highly likely to issue large-scale cbdcs in the next three to six years."
although the proportion of central banks studying cbdcs is very high, the crux of the problem is that it is mainly theoretical and investigative work. Only five central banks have concted more in-depth research and real project development or experimentation - but that still does not mean that they will necessarily issue cbdcs
through close observation, it is more and more obvious that both Libra recently released by Facebook and the new stable currency assets have had a significant impact on the central bank. Today's situation took hundreds of years to form, but it changed in a few months; Competition, the most terrifying and unfamiliar concept that has never been thought of before and penetrated into the elite society of central banks, is now knocking at the door
it can be said that the solution to the current situation is still unclear. Some people who are familiar with these things even say that they are bluffing. However, in Lagarde's own words, the slow and wait-and-see regulatory approach can no longer meet the needs
1. What is central bank digital currency<
what is the difference between central bank digital currency CBDC and other digital currencies
CBDC is a new form of currency, which is directly issued by the central bank in digital form as legal tender. The current form of legal currency is cash, reserve deposit or balance settlement< There are two main differences between CBDC and other digital currencies (including cryptocurrency and other forms of central bank currency):
1. CBDC has nothing to do with cryptoassets. They're not decentralized, they don't have to be blockchain based, and they're certainly not anonymous, they're not unlicensed, they're not censored< 2. Contrary to the current digital cash, the operation structure of CBDC will be different from other forms of central bank currency. CBDC has more powerful functions. They are programmable, can generate interest, can be cleared in near real time, and have cheaper handling charges and wider openness
when designing CBDC, the speed of central banks is different. Different central banks adopt their own approach. However, in general, there are three problems being explored: whether CBDC should be based on token or account number, whether CBDC should be batch (only open to banks) or retail (open to the public), and whether it should be based on DLT
when CBDC is to be implemented, things will become complicated, and there are many thorny problems to be considered
for example, once CBDC is launched, does it need to cancel cash? Should CBDC carry interest? Should they have face value like cash? Or linked to the total price index? What impact will this have on commercial banks? What about anonymity and privacy? All these questions need to be answered<
2. Motivation for issuing CBDC
in the 2017 staff discussion paper, the Bank of Canada gave six reasons for issuing CBDC in an article entitled "central bank digital currency: motivation and impact":
1. Ensure that the central bank provides sufficient cash to the public, and maintain the seigniorage revenue of the central bank
2, Support non-traditional monetary policy
3. Rece overall risk and improve financial stability
4. Improve payment competitiveness
5. Promote financial inclusiveness
6. Curb criminal activities
looking back at the bank for International Settlements survey we analyzed earlier, payment security and domestic efficiency are selected as the most important motives of the central bank. According to a large number of papers published by the central bank and other large financial institutions, for developed countries, the transformation into a cashless society is the main driving factor, while for developing countries, financial inclusiveness, cost rection and operational efficiency are the main motivation
throughout the rest of the reports and the literature that can be found, the fierce competition brought about by bitcoin and other innovations in the cryptocurrency instry, as well as the clear need for "one step ahead", of course, are not listed as the reasons for issuing CBDC< The advantages and potential risks of CBDC are very low.
if the central bank starts to launch CBDC and succeeds in the end, there are many potential benefits
from a technical point of view, CBDC is much better than the current form of legal currency. They can be tracked better, collect taxes more conveniently, transmit monetary policy better, have better financial inclusiveness, and rece the cost of procing physical currency
the most obvious advantage is that payment is cheaper and faster, whether it is domestic payment or cross-border payment
in addition to the design and implementation problems, a key problem of issuing CBDC is that CBDC may increase the risk of bank operation. However, this only happens when banks promise that their deposits can be converted into CBDC on demand, which is not necessarily the case, according to the Bank of England document
4. Facts on the ground
how far is it from us to see a real CBDC appear in the market? It's hard to estimate, but at present, we can sum up the current situation in one sentence: all talk but no practice
if we put aside the failed digital currencies of Ecuador, Tunisia and Venezuela, we can only do theoretical research, a small amount of experiments, and issue some feasible CBDC issuance announcements supported by the state in the future
the most famous CBDC projects in progress are: e-peso in Uruguay (the project was successfully tested in 2018), DCEP in China, "project Inthanon" in Thailand, e-krona in Sweden (still in the research stage)...
5. The revolution has not yet been successful, and comrades still need to work hard
considering the factors mentioned above, Most of the headlines about CBDC's upcoming release are groundless. All projects scheled to be released this year have been delayed
in fact, there is still a long way to go for the birth of CBDC, and to convince the public, we need more than a statement. Given the current situation, it seems that CBDC and other cryptocurrencies may not affect each other - at least for now.

the people's Bank of China has been studying legal digital currency since 2014. According to the relevant person in charge of the digital currency Research Institute of the people's Bank of China, at present, the research and development of digital RMB is steadily advancing. Under the premise of adhering to double-layer operation, currency (M0) substitution in circulation and controllable anonymity, the digital RMB system has basically completed the top-level design, standard formulation, function research and development, joint debugging and testing, etc., and followed the principles of steady, safe, controllable, innovative and stable development The principle of practicality
the relevant person in charge of the digital currency Research Institute of the people's Bank of China stressed that the current online transmission of DC / EP information is the test content in the process of technology research and development, which does not mean the official launch of digital RMB. The current closed test of digital RMB will not affect the commercial operation of listed companies, nor will it affect the RMB issuance and circulation system, financial market and social economy outside the test environment< In short, the digital currency of the people's Bank of China is the electronic version of RMB
when it comes to digital currency, your first reaction may be bitcoin or Libra, which Facebook plans to launch< However, unlike these so-called digital currencies, the digital currency to be launched by the Central Bank of China has national credit endorsement, which can be said to be the electronic version of RMB. Therefore, the digital currency of the central bank has the nature of legal compensation
more importantly, with the endorsement of the state, the value of the central bank's digital currency will be more stable. Bitcoin and other so-called virtual currencies can not guarantee the stability of currency value, so it is common to be "cut leeks"
from the perspective of usage scenarios, the central bank's digital currency does not pay interest, and can be used in small, retail and high-frequency business scenarios, which is no different from paper money. At the same time, the use should comply with all the existing regulations on cash management, anti money laundering and anti-terrorism financing.
generally refers to various means of payment in foreign currency that can be used for international settlement. Including: foreign currency, foreign currency deposits, foreign currency securities (government bonds, treasury bonds, corporate bonds, stocks, etc.), foreign currency payment certificates (bills, bank deposit certificates, postal savings certificates, etc.)
foreign currency is just a foreign currency, and its content is smaller than that of foreign exchange.
digital currency is abbreviated as digiccy, which is the abbreviation of "digital currency" in English. It is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digital currency (digiccy)
digital currency is an unregulated and digital currency, which is usually issued and managed by developers and accepted and used by members of specific virtual communities. The European Banking authority defines virtual currency as a digital representation of value, which is not issued by the central bank or authorities, nor linked with legal currency. However, because it is accepted by the public, it can be used as a means of payment, or it can be transferred, stored or traded in electronic form<
