the name of the digital currency developed by the central bank is DCEP (digital currency electronic payment). DC is digital currency. EP is electronic payment.

Application of digital currency

I. fast, economic and safe payment and settlement

cross border payment helps RMB internationalization. In 2015, the settlement volume of cross-border payment involving current account is about 8 trillion yuan. To accelerate the internationalization of RMB, cross-border payment and settlement procts and solutions with low cost, high efficiency and low risk are needed

At present, there are still a lot of repetitive human work in the bank's electronic loan process and processing process, and as the basic support of loan issuance, many of the collateral has the situation of false pricing or multiple or even no collateral. We can consider using digital currency to price and track bank collateral:

3. Bill finance and supply chain finance

in recent years, various bill market businesses based on commercial bills have grown rapidly, and bill financing procts have become a hot area of Internet financing. However, about 70% of the current bill businesses in China are still paper transactions, Supply chain finance is also highly dependent on labor costs

As of 2019, the digital currency seminar of the people's Bank of China was held in Beijing to 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. At present, it is under study, and many problems need to be improved slowly

digital currency is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the blockchain technology it relies on has been decentralized and can be used in other fields except digital currency, which is one of the reasons why bitcoin is popular; On the other hand, if digital currency is widely used by the public as a kind of currency, it will have a huge impact on the effectiveness of monetary policy, financial infrastructure, financial market and financial stability

If digital currency is accepted by the public, its use will increase greatly and replace legal currency to a certain extent, then negative events such as network attacks on user terminals related to digital currency will cause currency fluctuation, which will have an impact on financial order and real economy

in addition, the virtual currency based on blockchain technology is usually held by a few people at the beginning. For example, the first purchase of bitcoin in May 2010 was $25 pizza purchased by 10000 BTC, and the price of each bitcoin rose to $1200 in more than three years by the end of 2013

From 2015 to 2017, the price of bitcoin increased from more than $100 to $17000, a 100 fold increase. Today, the market value of various numerical currencies is more than 700 billion US dollars. The myth of their benefits is not nonsense

but there are many things behind the chaotic digital currency. You may ask why air currency can be listed on the stock exchange? It's very simple. The exchange also has to charge a part of the fee. Raise the price and then sell it to make money. So the question is, how to identify air currency

first of all, you need to look at the projects behind the digital currency and see what their team background is. Generally speaking, teams without experience in the instry tend to earn money, but how much experience do they have? It is better to be able to participate in the construction of Ethereum and bitstock communities. Such a team is often more reliable. This requires investors to have a certain screening ability to identify good or bad

secondly, there is no way to implement many projects. How can we identify them? In addition to the ability of the team, we also need to see the feasibility, which requires us to systematically learn the knowledge of bitcoin and blockchain. For example, Zhu Jiawei, the COO of fire coin network, learned the blockchain from 0 to 1, and clearly described the development process of bitcoin and blockchain in the form of audio and text. Besides, don Tapscott and Alex Tapscott's "blockchain revolution" are worthy of careful taste

moreover, the bubble of digital money is very large nowadays. In the bubble, it is not difficult to make money, but the key is not to be greedy. Long term holding is not good, but it can be operated in a short term. You can make money if you want. However, the key is that people are all profit-making and greed is their nature. Therefore, many people do not accept what they see. They originally made money, but later they lost everything. The gain is not worth the loss. Therefore, it is necessary to control greed

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

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

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

6.

Generally, the excellent digital currencies are mostly imported procts, such as bitcoin, Leyte coin, ether coin and so on. However, the domestic Yuanbao coin, Ruitai coin, bitcoin and the tokens of different crowdfunding projects of European crowdfunding are excellent digital currencies

it 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.
