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.

The study of digital currency is not to realize the application of a certain technical solution, but to pursue the convenience and low cost of retail payment system, as well as security and privacy protection
the digital currencies of bitcoin, wikilink and Ethereum provide some reference for the digital currencies issued by the central bank, especially blockchain.
when people are used to digital currency, paper money will graally withdraw from the circulation market and enter the collection field. In the new environment of payment and circulation, the traditional paper money will become a symbol of an era and a memory of people. The paper money that used to circulate in the market will also become a kind of cultural and artistic investment goods, active on the electronic disk of the post money card. And those earlier and even rarer coins will also stimulate their prices to rise in this situation. It can be seen that the central bank's graal promotion of digital currency will have a profound impact on people's living habits and investment and financial management, which is worth looking forward to Sohu)
however, digital currency does not have to be used for payment. Some domestic application-oriented digital currencies have begun to find another shortcut and come out with a different truth. For example, coin Ying China crowdfunding project token; Puyin group launched the tea based digital currency Puyin.
On October 8, Shenzhen Municipal People's government and the people's Bank of China jointly launched a pilot project of digital RMB red envelope
after the news was sent out, it has aroused warm repercussions from all walks of life across the country. At this stage, people are most concerned about the impact of digital RMB on our daily life?
