The mechanism of digital currency

1. digital currency is the proct of currency development to a certain stage. The issuance of digital currency is mainly to make transportation more convenient and also concive to the supervision of the economy.

2. Digital currency is a kind of legal tender, which must be issued by the central bank. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digital currency, which is not a network virtual currency, because it is not limited to virtual space, but is often used for real goods and services transactions, such as bitcoin, Wright coin, bitstock, etc. at present, there are thousands of digital currencies issued around the world

the digital currency launched by the central bank is a national sovereign currency, which is based on the digitalization of RMB. This is a piece of data generated by a complex algorithm, which contains blockchain and encryption technology, making it unique. The payment of Alipay and WeChat is not digital money, but only based on the payment realized by electronic accounts. Compared with the current pattern of "payment transfer collection" with the help of third-party payment, what digital currency needs to achieve is "decentralization", that is, to cancel the transfer link and directly hand over the money from the payer's account to the payee, so as to rece the payment cost in currency circulation

types of digital currency

according to different issuing or consensus mechanisms, it can be divided into four categories:

1, proof of work (POW)

proof of work. The system rewards are obtained through the mining of computing power to complete the issuance and distribution of currency. More work, more gain. Such as bitcoin, lightcoin (LTC)
the advantage is that the mining cost can form a monetary price support to a certain extent, and the disadvantage is that energy consumption and environmental protection are criticized< 2. Proof of stake (POS). Allocate the newly generated currency or interest according to the amount and time of cryptocurrency you hold. Such as dash and Neo
compared with pow, POS is more energy-saving, but it increases the security risk

3. The evolution scheme of delegated proof of stake (dpos)
POS. Similar to the voting mechanism of the board of directors, through the election of representatives to vote and make decisions, n accounting nodes are elected to create, verify, sign and supervise each other. Such as the grapefruit coin (EOS)
the advantage is high efficiency, but the problem is that it presents a semi centralized state

4. POW + POS hybrid mechanism
POW is mainly used to issue currency, and POS is used to maintain the system. For example, PPC

according to the project type, it can also be divided into four categories:

1. Currency category
digital currency issued for the purpose of transfer, payment and value storage. For example, bitcoin, bitcoin cash (BCH), Monroe (XmR), and grin

2. Public chain currency, that is, the digital currency issued by public chain projects, is generally the "fuel" for the application projects to run on the public chain. Such as eth, grapefruit coin, TRX and ont

3. Application token, that is, digital currency issued by decentralized application projects, is equivalent to equity or points. For example, OMG (payment application), GXC (data application), 1st (game application)

4. Platform currency, that is, the digital currency issued by the digital currency exchange, is equivalent to equity, points or fuel. For example, BNB, HT and okb.

extended data:

1. Impact on financial infrastructure

the decentralized mechanism of value exchange based on distributed ledger technology has changed the basic settings of gross and net settlement on which financial market infrastructure depends. The use of distributed ledgers also poses challenges to trading, clearing and settlement, as it promotes the disintermediation of traditional service providers in different markets and infrastructures. These changes may have potential impacts on market infrastructure other than retail payment systems, such as large payment systems, securities settlement systems or trading databases

If digital currency and distributed ledger based technology are widely used, it will bring challenges to the intermediary role of financial system participants, especially banks. As a financial intermediary, banks perform the ties of acting supervisors and supervise borrowers on behalf of depositors. Usually, banks also carry out liquidity and maturity conversion business to realize the financing from depositors to borrowers. If digital currency and distributed ledger are widely used, any subsequent disintermediation may have an impact on savings or credit evaluation mechanisms

4.

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 digiccy

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. 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

Compared with paper money, digital money has obvious advantages, which can not only save the cost of issuance and circulation, but also improve the efficiency of transaction or investment, and enhance the convenience and transparency of economic transaction activities. The issue of digital currency by the central bank also ensures the continuity of financial policy and the integrity of monetary policy, and also ensures the security of monetary transactions

although the issuing method of digital currency is still under study, paper currency has been regarded as "the currency of the previous generation" by some professionals, and it is the general trend to be replaced by new technology and new procts. Due to China's large population and volume, the timetable for issuing digital currency is still uncertain. It is predicted that digital currency and cash will be in parallel and graally replaced for quite a long time. When the era of digital currency really comes, people will carry less and less cash, travel more and more safe, poverty alleviation more and more accurate, corruption more and more difficult to escape, and thieves more and more difficult

in November 2016, the central bank prepared digital currency, and the cash is likely not to exist in ten years

in November 2016, China digital currency Research Institute was established to cultivate high-level talents of digital currency, carry out digital currency research, consultation, development planning and related activities. It is a non-profit unit with legal license approved by relevant ministries and commissions, and is committed to promoting the integrated development of scientific research and Practice of digital currency instry

so far, Hangzhou, Shenzhen and Guizhou have become the three hot areas for the central bank's digital currency pilot. It is reported that Hangzhou is actively promoting the planning and construction of Qiantang River financial harbor, including the blockchain instry. Hangzhou will build the first blockchain Instrial Park in China, which is located in the Internet Finance town of Xihu District, surrounded by ant financial services, e-commerce bank, Zhejiang University and its science and Technology Park and other well-known enterprises and parks

5. It is the occupation of trading margin. In futures trading, because the trading mode is margin trading, it has a certain leverage nature. For example, if you take 1 million yuan as futures, open a few hands, and use 300000 yuan for a certain variety, the risk / position is 30%, and more than 80% of the exchanges will issue a warning that too high a position will lead to too high a risk. When the risk exceeds 100, it will be forced to close out. We call it a burst
the strong leveling of the exchange will be carried out in the best position, generally the price of the limit up or down, so the strong leveling will lead to the loss of customers. If the loss is large, the customer needs to make up the loss before he is out
Digital futures have risks, so investment should be cautious! After all, there is no internal supervision and no record
warm tips: please stay away from illegal fund-raising, illegal fund allocation, financial management on behalf of customers, false or misleading publicity / inced trading, illegal consultation / order calling, providing trading software and other illegal behaviors
headquarters of futures companies! Account opening, crude oil / iron ore / PTA / stock index / service charge return! Just ask!

digital gold currency is a form of electronic currency named after the weight of gold. The typical unit of measurement for this currency is the Troy gram or troy ounces, although sometimes the golden Dinar is used

digital gold currency is funded by gold storage without quota or decentralized quota. By January 2006, digital gold currency suppliers held more than 8.6 metric tons of gold as reserves, worth about $154 million

the relevant person in charge of the central bank said that the digital currency research team of the people's Bank of China should establish a more effective organizational guarantee mechanism, further clarify the strategic objectives of the central bank's issuance of digital currency, do a good job in tackling key technologies, study the multi scenario application of digital currency, and strive to launch the digital currency issued by the central bank as soon as possible.
