Flow chart of digital currency issuance mechanism

1. On November 13 this year, the official microblog of the people's Bank of China announced that the people's Bank of China has issued legal digital currency, and some institutions falsely use the name of the people's Bank of China to trade relevant digital procts under the title of "DC / EP" or "DCEP" on the digital asset trading platform. The central bank stressed that no legal digital currency (DC / EP) was issued and no asset trading platform was authorized to trade. Neither "DC / EP" nor "DCEP" traded in the market is legal digital currency, and the launch time of legal digital currency transmitted through Internet is inaccurate information<

at present, the so-called issuance of legal digital currency in the Internet, and the behavior of indivial institutions launching "DC / EP" or "DCEP" in the name of the people's Bank of China to conct transactions on the asset trading platform may involve fraud and pyramid selling. The general public should raise their risk awareness, not be partial to trust, and guard against interest damage
as early as September 4, 2017, the central bank and other seven departments jointly issued the announcement on preventing the financing risk of token issuance (hereinafter referred to as the announcement), pointing out that the issuance of virtual currency, ICO and other suspected illegal financial activities seriously disrupted the economic and financial order, and no organization or indivial may engage in the above activities illegally.

2. It is very clear in the speech of the central bank that the digital currency is M0. What is M0? M0 is cash. We speculate that the basic framework for the central bank to issue digital currency in the future should be a two-tier structure. The core is the database of the central bank, and the periphery is the blockchain of different instries, regions and third parties. Why? Only by using a decentralized system in the second layer can you ensure that the money is controlled by the users themselves and that the digital currency really becomes M0

we speculate that once the central bank issues digital currency in the future, the periphery of the structure must be a decentralized system. At present, blockchain is the best choice

when talking about digital currency, the central bank also mentioned another concept, which is called programmable currency. How to understand? For the computer, it has a certain internal self-control function. Take the early object-oriented language as an example, it requires at least two functions, one is the constructor, the other is the destructor. You have to solve the problem of its creation as well as its extinction

through programming, the central bank can control the whole life cycle of money creation, circulation and withdrawal

in the absence of digital currency and programmable currency, the currency issued by the central bank circulates freely in the society. How to return to the cage in the end? One is the return of derivative currency of commercial banks, the other is the return of basic currency of central bank. The former is controlled by the central bank through deposit reserve and other policies, while the latter is controlled by the tax system. If we go up to programmable digital currency in the future, the central bank will have much more control. Even in circulation, control can be increased. That's why central banks are very interested in blockchain technology.

3. The digital development of money is an inevitable trend in the use of money, and it is also the internal demand of money in the performance of monetary functions.

4. Digital currency is a relatively large concept. However, what we usually say about digital currency generally refers to the encrypted digital currencies such as bitcoin, Ruitai coin and Laite coin
there is no essential difference between virtual currency and digital currency, but it is only called differently. Digital currency is generally called high-end, and professionals generally call it digital currency. Virtual currency is the most popular term, which is generally used by those who don't know much about it.

5.

It is not currently available

at present, the Central Bank of China has not issued and approved the digital currency of issuers and investors

However, at the beginning of the year, the central bank held a seminar on digital currency, at which it made it clear that it was necessary to issue digital currency as soon as possible, and the central bank put the issue of digital currency on the agenda

however, so far, the central bank has not issued any digital currency, and Zhou Xiaochuan, the governor of the central bank, said that the time is not ripe to issue digital currency. Moreover, the digital currency issued by the central bank is different from bitcoin, Ruitai, Laite and other digital cryptocurrencies, and the digital currency issued by the central bank is not decentralized

< H2 > extended data:

when the central bank issues digital currency, it needs to establish a basic digital currency system. In this system, the central bank is in charge of the digital currency issuing bank, the commercial bank is in charge of the bank, and the public and indivials hold digital wallets. This is not much different from the existing monetary system in essence, but the managed currency is changed from paper money to digital cryptocurrency

in terms of issuing mechanism, there are two modes:

one is the traditional mode of "central bank commercial bank", that is, the central bank issues digital currency from the issuing bank of the central bank to the Bank of the commercial bank. When an indivial withdraws money from the commercial bank, the digital currency is transferred from the commercial bank to the personal digital wallet

another mode is the "central bank public" mode, that is, the central bank can directly issue digital currency from the currency issuing bank to the digital wallet of the public and indivials. In essence, no matter which issuing mode, money is ultimately held by the public, which is the debt of the central bank to the public

6. Although I don't understand, but also talk about my idea, first of all, money can be exchanged for equivalent things, such as Q money, it can buy the corresponding things. What can you do with your digital currency?

7. Blockchain and distributed ledger technology make the development of digital currency more reliable. However, the current price of digital currency development is high. Many platform operators are not willing to be real digital currency, so they will choose templates and the like. The platform is unstable and unsafe

specific development enterprises, such as Hujin factory, use encryption technology to ensure that any new information in the account book can not be tampered with, and this kind of account book has stronger defense against external attacks.
