Bitcoin or digital currency
the natural nature of bitcoin is decentralized, but the Central Bank of digital currency must abide by the centralized management model. Compared with bitcoin, the central bank's digital currency has a higher "currency" value, and the price of bitcoin fluctuates greatly. the central bank's digital currency ensures the payment function in daily life, and has remained relatively stable since 2014. Since the beginning of the year, the central bank has been actively engaged in the research and development of digital currency, including the active application of relevant patents
starting from the issue of digital currency, the central bank uses a two-level operating system, which first converts digital currency into banks or other operating institutions, and then to the public. Mu Changchun said the al transmission system is suitable for China's national conditions. We can not only use the existing resources to mobilize the enthusiasm of commercial banks, but also improve the acceptance of digital currency without any problem
opponents of bitcoin accuse mining of wasting a lot of resources to make meaningless coin toss, while supporters take gold mining as an example. For the bitcoin system, the biggest significance of this kind of resource consumption mining is: to distribute 21 million initial bitcoins fairly, just like to consume resources to dig gold, the only way to distribute initial bitcoins fairly is to consume resources to dig bitcoins
bitcoin has thousands of plagiarists, competitors and improvers because of its open source code. Generally, those who simply and imitate bitcoin are called Shanzhai coins, and those who add certain new features to bitcoin are called competitive coins. Some coins add other functional moles such as smart contract to bitcoin, and call themselves "second generation coins". These thousands of coins try all the initial coin distribution modes you can imagine, such as the average distribution of the initial coin to each Icelandic, the distribution of the initial coin to the nextcoin of 73 crowd funding participants, and the slow distribution of the majority of the initial coin by the developer
but the fairness of all these ways of distributing initial coins is far weaker than the mode of burning money to obtain initial bitcoin, and fairness is the core problem of a monetary system. Therefore, although bitcoin mining consumes a lot of resources, it is a reasonable economic behavior just like consuming resources to mine gold.
Many people think that bitcoin is the first digital cryptocurrency in the world, but it is not
In 1982, cryptographer and computer scientist David Chaum proposed a creative scheme blind signature: on a piece of paper, I choose a serial number that only you know, and then I sign it. Because I don't know the serial number, I can't it to another person. This idea forms the first real e-money scheme, which makes anonymous transaction possible
at present, China is experimenting with digital currency, which is legal currency with national credit as guarantee, just like paper money. In the environment of legal digital currency, it will be possible for the economic system to decide the money supply spontaneously and endogenously, issue and recover money automatically through preset and reliable program algorithm rules and on the premise of ensuring the stability of currency value. The role of the central bank may not only be the decision maker of money circulation, but also the designer of the rules of money circulation algorithm
in fact, digital currency is just a form of electronic payment to replace traditional paper money, and the specific application scenario is mobile wallet payment. Digital money is not a virtual currency that can be generated by underground mining and easy to form investment bubbles. Investment in bitcoin and other virtual currencies and electronic money is a Ponzi scheme in a strict sense. The ordinary people need to be careful to avoid leeks. p>
