Virtual currency and central bank

1. The fundamental difference lies in the difference of issuers: the issuers of virtual currency are not central banks, they can only circulate in a specific virtual environment. digital currency can be used for real goods and services transactions, but only the digital currency issued by the state is legal digital currency, and bitcoin is illegal.

2. After the people's Bank of China announced the launch of digital currency as soon as possible in January this year, Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the people's Bank of China, recently gave a detailed description of the development of digital currency in an interview with Caixin weekly
Zhou Xiaochuan pointed out that as legal tender, digital currency must be issued by the central bank. The issue, circulation and transaction of digital currency should follow the idea of integration of traditional currency and digital currency, and implement the same principle of management. That is to say, q-coin and the like are definitely not good
as for whether to use blockchain technology to create digital currency. Zhou Xiaochuan said that the blockchain technology is an optional technology, but so far, the blockchain still occupies too many resources. Whether it is computing resources or storage resources, it can't cope with the current transaction scale, and whether it can be solved in the future depends on it. Zhou Xiaochuan said that in addition to blockchain technology, the digital currency research team of the people's Bank of China has also concted in-depth research on other related technologies involved in digital currency, such as mobile payment, trusted and controllable cloud computing, cryptographic algorithm, security chip, etc
it is certain that the digital currency issued by the central bank can never be the same as bitcoin, Ruitai, Qianjin card and other digital currencies. The digital currency issued by the central bank is just the digital currency.

3. The Chinese currency can not attract the attention of the central bank. Its influence is too small. If it attracts the attention of the central bank, it is certain to ban it. This kind of currency is direct selling currency without any physical support and application scenarios. There are many such currencies in China. Most players who don't know much about digital currency can make money. This kind of coin can only survive for about three months to six months
bitcoin, Ruitai coin, Laite coin and Qianjin card are only high-risk and high-yield investment procts in China. There is no such thing as "only rising but not falling" in the digital currency circle. If there is, it must be a pyramid scheme or artificial control.

4. The main purposes are as follows:

1
2
3
4. Protect the property rights and interests of the public, protect the legal tender status of RMB, prevent the risk of money laundering and maintain financial stability
5. Avoid excessive speculation in the name of "virtual currency" for virtual commodities such as bitcoin, which will damage the public interest and the legal tender status of RMB.

5. Issuing digital currency can rece the high cost of issuing and circulating traditional banknotes, improve the convenience and transparency of economic transactions, rece money laundering, tax evasion and other illegal and criminal acts, enhance the central bank's control over money supply and currency circulation, better support economic and social development, and help the comprehensive realization of inclusive finance. In the future, the establishment of digital currency issuance and circulation system will also help China build a new financial infrastructure, further improve China's payment system, enhance the efficiency of payment and clearing, and promote the upgrading of economic quality and efficiency.

1. The essence of interpretation is different:

virtual currency: virtual currency refers to non real currency

currency: currency (CCY) is the medium of purchasing goods and preserving wealth. It is the contract between the owner of property and the market about the right of exchange. In essence, it is the agreement between the owners

2. Different types:

virtual currency: game currency, special currency, etc.

currency: coin, paper currency, deposit currency, etc.

extended data:

formation of virtual currency market:

Internet leads to the emergence of a new market, which is a virtual market based on cyberspace. The Internet provides a lot of communication places for consumers, and also provides business market for enterprises. Enterprises must change from proct centered to service centered to customer centered

with the development of computer artificial intelligence technology and database technology, enterprises can conveniently collect customers' information, understand customers' needs in time, change business strategies and grasp economic arteries in real time

7. First, most of the virtual coins issued today are decentralized, but in this regard, the virtual coins issued by the central bank must not be able to do so. It must be centralized and easy to adjust
Second, the value of money must be stable in a certain period of time, and it will not be as high as virtual currency such as BTC. The main purpose of the central bank's issuing virtual currency is to replace the current paper currency to a certain extent. That is to say, if a virtual currency assumes a fixed value of one yuan, it will be one yuan for a long time, It will not and will not be allowed that a virtual currency will rise to 100 or even more than 1000
thirdly, the most conservative estimate is that once issued, domestic enterprises or banks can choose whether to pay virtual currency or cash currency (RMB) when they pay wages or withdraw money. To a certain extent, cash will exist for a long time, instead of being issued all at once, all of them will be replaced by virtual currency, and all cash will be invalid, It's not realistic. It can only be said that it will be replaced graally
Fourth, the purpose of the central bank to issue virtual currency is to replace the current paper currency. Therefore, there must be a lot of similarities between this kind of virtual currency and the current paper currency. You can also directly replace the paper currency with the virtual currency, so you can have a good understanding of the nature of the virtual currency issued by the central bank. Therefore, the central bank's virtual currency is absolutely not allowed to appear, and the currency price is falsely high
therefore, it can be seen from the above points that the central bank's virtual currency is a new type of RMB, but it used to be physical, but now it is electronic and virtual. This is just like the use of real gold and silver in ancient times, and the appearance of "Jiaozi", that is, paper money, is only a kind of progress of the times. Other things are meaningless, just for the convenience of transaction, portability or personal property security. If you want to make money by investing in currency speculation, you can give up the idea. It's meaningless. If you just want to experience the freshness brought by the new currency, just wait quietly. Come out early, come out late, come out sooner or later. But then again, I'm looking forward to it.

8. It's not a fraud. It's a new digital Renminbi issued by the state (actually he is a disguised virtual currency). It is operated by the designated operation agencies (Alipay and large national banks) and exchanged with the public.
