1. After the people's Bank of China announced the launch of
digital currency as soon as possible in January 2017, the governor of the people's Bank of China, in an exclusive interview with Caixin weekly, elaborated on digital currency in detail, saying that there was no established timetable. The relationship between digital currency and cash will be parallel and graally replaced for quite a long time.
2. In theory, the central bank issues digital currency to replace paper money. However, this process is very slow, because the development of various regions in China is seriously unbalanced, and the acceptance of digital currency is also different. The digital currency trial run by the central bank is only applied to the bill market
in the future, there may be many digital currencies in China, and each digital currency will have its own application. For example, Puyin is a very interesting digital currency, which corresponds to the assets related to tea.
3. Here's what central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan said: in the future, digital currency will graally replace traditional currency
we can't say the timetable of digital currency yet. China has a large population and a large volume. For example, a new version of RMB can be changed in a few months for small countries, but it will take about 10 years for China. Therefore, digital currency and cash will be parallel and graally replaced for quite a long time. In the later stage, the transaction cost of cash will graally rise. For example, in the past, banks were asked to count a large number of coins, and there was no charge for them. Later, they may need to charge. With the incentive mechanism, people will naturally use more digital currency, but the two will still co deposit in the longer term
the central bank's issuance of digital currency is also inspired by cryptocurrencies such as
bitcoin and
lettercoin, and the European crowdfunding model of combining digital currency with real assets also draws on the experience of bitcoin.
4. China, as a global mobile payment power, Alipay and WeChat have long been a national payment method. It is almost no need to carry a wallet now. Shopping just sweeps away, does not need purse, do not change, really feel the convenience, and whether it is Alipay or WeChat payment, the experience is very good. p> The DCEP, which will be launched by the central bank at the end of this year, indicates that the replacement of paper money is inevitable. So, will WeChat and Alipay be terminated? What's the difference between them
{rrrrrrr}
you can imagine such a scene: as long as you and I have DCEP digital wallets on mobile phones, we don't even need the network. As long as the mobile phone has power, two mobile phones touch each other, and we can transfer the digital currency in one person's digital wallet to another person
four, WeChat and Alipay must first bind the bank card, then pay the with Alipay or WeChat payment code. DCEP doesn't need to be bound to a bank account. The transfer between users is independent of the bank account. This is the same as bitcoin and other digital currencies. As long as you have a digital wallet of DCEP, you can scan the code to pay
in fact, DCEP and WeChat pay, Alipay is very similar in the payment scenario, and the experience is expected to be very similar in the future. In the future, as long as electronic payment can be used, there will be digital payment ports of the central bank
so, for the common people, with DCEP, you just have a more payment method, as if mobile payment had Alipay first, and you could also pay WeChat. Use whatever is convenient. However, the emergence of digital money will also be a part of WeChat's payments and Alipay's share of 90%+, which now occupies the mobile payment market share. p>
5. In the future, with the maturity of the central bank's digital currency issuance and application technology, the possibility of digital currency replacing cash will be greatly increased. The central bank said that there is no established timetable. The relationship between digital currency and cash will be parallel and graally replaced for quite a long time.
6. From April 18 to 21, the Boao Forum for Asia 2021 annual meeting was held at the Boao Forum for Asia International Conference Center in Hainan. During the meeting, Li Bo, vice president of the people's Bank of China, held a speech at the Boao Forum for Asia & lt; Digital payment and digital currency; When making a video speech at the sub forum, he talked about the supervision of bitcoin and stable currency, and made a clear definition of bitcoin; Bitcoin is an encrypted asset and an investment option. It is not a currency, but an alternative investment& rdquo; He believes that encryption assets may play a major role in the future as an investment tool or alternative investment. As an investment tool, many countries, including China, are studying its regulatory environment The cross-border payment of digital currency is not an easy task. The cross-border payment of digital currency is not only a technical problem. Each country has its own macro-control needs. It is necessary to ensure the independence of monetary policy and do a good job in anti money laundering and anti-terrorism financing. In addition, the exchange rate system of each country is not the same. We should also respect the monetary sovereignty of central banks, not pursue a particular currency; To rule the world;. It is necessary to build a healthy ecosystem and form a special payment corridor in order to control the possible impact of the pilot project within a controllable range, or slow down its possible impact. As far as the specific implementation methods are concerned, there are three ways in the meeting. One is to make different central bank digital currencies compatible with each other, that is to say, different systems can be connected; One is to establish some interconnection lines to create a more closed-loop system. Different central bank digital currencies can establish seamless connection through different interfaces and interfaces; There is also a most radical approach, that is, to create an integrated system to accommodate different central banks' digital currencies and put them into the same operational framework However, in the future, digital currency and cash will be in parallel and graally replaced for 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
