Digital currency and the poor
1. The concept range is different. bitcoin is a kind of digital currency, and the concept of digital currency covers bitcoin
However, some digital currencies have independent issuers The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total quantity of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity. 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 21 milliondigital 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 digiccy. Bitcoin is a 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 currencies, such as bitcoin, lettercoin and ppcoin, are electronic currencies created, issued and circulated by means of check sum cryptography. It is characterized by the use of P2P peer-to-peer network technology to issue, manage and circulate currency. In theory, it avoids bureaucratic examination and approval, so that everyone has the right to issue currency
illegal digital currency
in recent years, "virtual currency" represented by bitcoin, Ethernet currency and Leyte currency has been traded centrally on some Internet platforms. With the help of financial technology, the price of these "currencies" has graally spread to investment, financing and other financial fields, which has aroused wide attention from all walks of life
not long ago, the people's Bank of China and other seven ministries and commissions jointly issued the announcement on preventing the financing risk of token issuance, which clearly regulated the relevant behaviors. Experts pointed out that "virtual currency" is not legal tender (legal currency) issued by monetary authorities, but a specific virtual commodity in essence
therefore, it is undoubtedly a great legal and economic risk to think that "virtual currency" has or will have the nature of legal tender and to carry out speculation, network fund-raising, lending and financing
1. digital currency facing two risks. The first is the technical level. Digital currency relies on blockchain technology and a system, which will make it suffer from security impact, such as hacker attacks on computer systems. We have seen many practical problems in this process< Another risk of digital currency is credit risk. Because there are middlemen in digital currency transactions, these middlemen are different from real organizations. In reality, organizations can be seen and felt, but the middlemen of digital currency are on the Internet, so the risk is greater
3. Digital currency has the characteristics of anonymity, quickness and irrevocability. In addition, bitcoin and other digital currencies have high circulation in the world, so many criminals use digital currency as a new money laundering channel. Moreover, there are many different ways to realize money laundering through digital currency. Generally speaking, the probability of new money laundering being found and investigated is lower than before. Many countries have no effective means and technology to combat money laundering through digital currency. These factors lead to criminals prefer this way of money laundering
investment is risky and business should be cautious
1. Application of different
digital currency: fast, economic and safe payment and settlement; Bill finance and supply chain finance; The real right of collateral is digitalized
e-money: the seller sends the buyer's payment instructions to the seller's acquiring bank through the payment gateway; The acquiring bank obtains the authorization from the issuing bank through the bank card network, and sends the authorization information back to the seller through the payment gateway; After obtaining the authorization, the Seller shall send the buyer the shopping completion information. If payment acquisition and payment authorization cannot be completed at the same time, the seller should send payment acquisition request to the acquiring bank through the payment gateway, and transfer the transaction funds from the buyer to the seller's account. The final inter-bank settlement is completed by the payment system between banks
2. Different characteristics
digital currency is characterized by low transaction cost, fast transaction speed and high anonymity
e-currency is characterized by anonymity, saving transaction cost, saving transmission cost, small holding risk, flexible and convenient payment, anti-counterfeiting and anti repetition, and non traceability
Digital currency can be divided into three categories: completely closed, unrelated to the real economy and only used in specific virtual communities, such as world of warcraft gold; It can be purchased in real currency but not converted back to real currency, and can be used to purchase virtual goods and services, such as Facebook credit; It can exchange and redeem with real currency according to a certain ratio. It can purchase both virtual goods and services and real goods and services, such as bitcoine-money: e-cash based on the Internet environment and keeping the binary data representing the value of money in the hard disk of the computer terminal; An electronic wallet that keeps the value of money in an IC card and can be circulated out of the bank payment system
unlike virtual currency, digital currency is neither bitcoin nor q-coin! That is to say, it is different from virtual currencies such as bitcoin and Ethernet
virtual currency can only be closed in circulation on the network, just like Tencent's q-coin and Huixin cloud software collaborative instry ecological chain platform, they can only be used for their own procts. Digital currency can be used for real goods and services transactions, but only the digital currency issued by the state is legal digital currency, bitcoin is illegal digital currency. As for legal digital currency, there is no unified international definition. Yao Qian, deputy director of the science and Technology Department of the people's Bank of China and head of the preparatory group of the digital currency Research Institute, believes that the digital currency researched and issued by the people's Bank of China is indexed RMB. From the perspective of national schemes, it belongs to legal encrypted digital currency, which is not only a payment tool but also a currency. Correspondingly, virtual currency is also called illegal fixed digital currency. Li Lihui, head of the blockchain working group of China Internet Finance Association, once said that digital currency must have legal status, national sovereignty endorsement, and clear responsibility subject of issuance. Virtual currencies represented by bitcoin and ethereal currency have no country, no sovereign endorsement, no qualified issuers, and no national credit support. These are not digital currencies
digital money is not equivalent to virtual currency
since digital money can be used for commodity trading, is Alipay and WeChat payment a kind of digital currency?
Alipay, WeChat payment and mobile phone banks are all electronic money, not digital money. These are all payment methods based on electronic accounts, which are in essence just a process of informatization of legal currency, not digital currency in a strict sense. For example, the amount of Alipay or WeChat transactions is essentially banknotes on bank accounts, but it is electronic form. The "100 yuan" displayed on the mobile phone will correspond to the real 100 yuan in the bank.

Do you mean there is no essential difference between digital currency and the existing monetary system? I don't know where to draw this conclusion. At present, the general digital currency mainly includes bitcoin, Ethereum, reborn, Leyte and other virtual currencies. These virtual currencies are very different from the existing monetary system! For example:
-
issuers: the issuers of existing legal tender are national government agencies, generally the central bank. Bitcoin and other digital currencies are issued according to the program encryption algorithm. If we want to say that the issuing subject, even one person can issue them. There is no credibility or coercion
-
credibility. The existing monetary system, that is, legal tender, has the endorsement of national credit, which has more credibility. Bitcoin and other digital currencies rely on algorithms, which are often issued by a community or even indivials, with weak credibility
-
mandatory. The existing monetary system, namely legal tender, is issued by the state and circulates in a country or region according to law. Digital currencies, such as bitcoin, do not have the power to enforce the law
-
volatility. In the current monetary system, there are exchange rate fluctuations in various legal currencies, but they are basically in a relatively stable state. As for bitcoin and other digital currencies, you can look at the market of digital currencies on investing. It can be seen that the price difference of bitcoin even one day is more than 10%, which is obviously unstable
digital currency fraud is basically a routine, that is, first pull you into a wechat group, and then recommend a platform for you to speculate in stocks or other digital currencies at the beginning, your income is very large, but when the latter value reaches a certain level, you can no longer withdraw cash. If you ask the other party, the other party will ask you to recharge more money to unfreeze your account, but no matter how much money you put in, your money will not come back. The members who make money in the wechat group are basically the people in the fraud Gang, and the screenshots of the income are basically forged by them. It is very likely that you are the only real member of the whole wechat group
nowadays, fraudsters are more and more high-end, not only using mobile phones, but also using the Internet for fraud. Some of their knowledge is self-taught, and some is learned from other fraudsters. After all, some fraudsters are even high intellectuals, but they are different from other high intellectuals and go astray. If we find that our circle of friends is all about money investment, then our friend may have gone astray
This sentence is related to virtual digital currency. The most representative is the virtual digital currency headed by bitcoin
of course, this sentence has another meaning. It means that people with cash are backward in thinking, can't keep up with the development of the times, and will eventually be eliminated
the modern society is already the era of mobile payment, you just need to take your mobile phone when you go out
no matter where you spend, you can pay by scanning the mobile phone code, which is really very convenient
this kind of payment method is being accepted by everyone, and some old people have already used this kind of payment method
therefore, if we can't keep up with this era, we will be eliminated by this era
In the future, virtual digital currency may be the mainstreambecause virtual digital currency can truly realize banknote free, through the circulation of virtual digital currency around the world, it can replace banknotes as currency in circulation
moreover, virtual digital currency is a kind of currency that can increase value, and its value will certainly surpass paper money in the future
therefore, the poor will carry cash in the future
