China's view on virtual currency
in the era of material abundance, money can buy what you want and enrich your life. Therefore, people have a dream of realizing wealth freedom and entering a better life there are many such dreams, which are often used. With the development of the Internet, online transactions have become more convenient and fast, people's financial management ideas have improved, and they will take spare money to invest, but the bank interest is low, the fund will not choose, and the stock water is too deep. Generally speaking, the income can't tempt greedy people
1. It is illegal to have a financial trading platform that is not recognized by China Securities Regulatory Commission and China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission. With the concept of blockchain being put forward, virtual currency has become popular. In China, there are bitcoin, Leyte coin, Ruitai coin, etc. the income of these virtual currencies has been blown to be amazing. People who listen to these virtual currencies will be envious and have new illusions. They don't know that this is just a Ponzi scheme, and the virtual currency trading platform will trick investors into inviting them, After the investors' funds are cheated, there will be a series of figures. Some of them will fall sharply as soon as they buy, and smart people can stop losses. Some of them will go up sharply when they buy, and investors will continue to add chips, and finally they can't cash out
Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the central bank, said at last year's Boao Forum that bitcoin, like stamps collected by stamp collectors, has collection value, and people regard it as an asset to trade rather than a payment currency, so there is no question of banning it for the central bank. This is also the only time central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan has made a statement on the currency
in the bitcoin risk notice issued by the central bank and other five ministries and commissions at the end of 2013, bitcoin was clearly defined as a special Internet commodity, which people can buy and sell freely under the premise of free but risk, denying its monetary attribute. At this stage, all financial hooks are not allowed to provide bitcoin related services
since 2013, the popular virtual currencies are bitcoin, Fuyuan coin, Laite coin, doggy coin and so on.
virtual currency originally refers to non real currency.
in the case that virtual currency is connected with reality, virtual currency has its real value. Well known virtual currencies such as Tencent's q-coin, q-point, Shanda's roll, Sina's u-coin meter ticket (used in igome game), chivalrous Yuanbao (used in chivalrous road game), and so on, In the era of stand-alone games, the protagonists accumulate money by knocking down the enemy and winning money in gambling houses to buy Herbs and equipment, At that time, there was no "market" between players. Since the Internet established the portal and community and realized the game networking, there has been a "financial market" for virtual currency, and players can trade game currency.
the second type is the special currency issued by portal websites or instant messaging service providers, Tencent's q-coin is the most widely used to purchase services on this website. It can be used to purchase membership, QQ show and other value-added services.
Third, the difference between real currency and virtual currency
the first feature: different value formation mechanisms.
general currency and virtual currency have different value bases, the former represents utility, The latter represents value.
as a general equivalent, the "price" of currency is called value in language, but actually refers to utility. Virtual currency does not represent the "effect" of general "price", but the value itself.
virtual currency is not a general equivalent, but a manifestation of value relativity, or a symbol of expression; It can also be said that virtual currency is a personalized currency.
the second feature is that the monetary decision mechanism is different.
general currency is decided by the central bank, while virtual currency is decided by indivials.
reflected in the monetary decision mechanism, real currency is decided by the central bank; The virtual money market (such as stock market and game money market) is determined by forces outside the central bank, The economy formed by stock market and derivative financial market is called fictitious economy. The essence of fictitious economy is information economy with indivial as the center.
the third characteristic is that the value exchange mechanism is different.
the value conversion of general currency is completed in the money market; The value exchange between general currency and virtual currency is completed through the overall exchange of the two markets. Under special conditions, there is an immature exchange relationship between indivial markets. Therefore, it can be said that general currency and virtual currency are in different markets.
some people worry that game virtual currency may cause inflation, Just as the imbalance of supply and demand in the commodity market can not directly lead to the imbalance of supply and demand in the money market, it must be through the issuance of additional money in the overall market to lead to inflation; At present, the stock market is a unified market, but the game market is not.
for example, the ratio of a certain game virtual currency to RMB may initially be 800000 to 1, Then it may change to 8 million to 1. Maybe the virtual currency of a castle today will be enough to buy a Tomahawk tomorrow; If the virtual currency forms a unified market, it may indeed exert pressure on the money market. The problem is that there is no such unified market now. The issuers of game currency are independent of each other and do not have the status of financial subject, let alone the exchange with currency at the level of financial market. What's more, whether it is base currency or value-added currency, The currency volume (m) and the currency price level (V, i.e. the velocity of circulation) have not changed, so it can not be considered that there will be monetary inflation or deflation.
for the current game currency depreciation, it is better to explain that the service conditions of a game as a value-added service have changed, As the demand for virtual currency increases, the price of services involved and the price level of virtual currency decrease. Due to the change of supply and demand conditions of such services, the price of services decreases. This is a phenomenon that can be explained by a real commodity market
from q-coin and counting roll used to buy props to bitcoin which can be exchanged with us dollar and euro today. It shows that the utilization rate and universality of virtual currency are graally increasing. I think this kind of virtual currency has both advantages and disadvantages. Virtual currency makes up for the deficiency of currency, but it will not replace the real currency
1. Security of virtual currency. The day before yesterday, a bitcoin trading platform headquartered in Japan was favored by many people. However, e to the loss of 750000 bitcoins from customers and 100000 bitcoins of its own, the company had to file for bankruptcy protection. This fully shows that the security of virtual currency is difficult to guarantee
2. The use of money cannot be regulated. The problem is that there is no manager similar to the central bank. Due to the strong anonymity, it is easy to be used for illegal transactions such as speculation and drugs, as well as money laundering. Without the network of financial institutions, it is difficult to grasp their liquidity, which will bring difficulties to taxation
although it has many uncertainties, virtual currency is very effective and reliable to a certain extent
1. The possibility of inflation of virtual currency is small, and it is not affected by policy. Avoiding the influence of the central government on finance, virtual currency can prove the stability of its value because of its limited circulation. It will not raise prices and lower the value of money because of the increase of money supply
2. Strong circulation. People can use bitcoin to trade anywhere in the world where there are networks and computers, which is very convenient
it not only saves time, but also saves a lot of transaction costs
after comparison, I think that the virtual currency will be saturated and will not pose a threat to the real currency. On the one hand, in the backward regions and countries, they rely more on currency, resulting in a gap with the developed regions. On the other hand, with the development of network technology, the security of virtual currency will be more and more difficult to determine. It is also very difficult for people to use a lot of money in the form of virtual currency in huge investment. Especially in a country with traditional culture such as China, people are more confident that they will hand over their property to the financial instry such as banks, rather than in the online world like flowers in the mirror< There is no comparability between bitcoin and stock. Stock is people's profit expectation for a company. For example, a company constantly proces new procts to increase its wealth. People can obtain wealth growth with the company by holding shares of the company. And the stock is an investment proct, without monetary attribute, it is impossible to say how much ICBC stock an iPad is worth. On the contrary, like bitcoin, the stock can be converted into legal currency through the exchange to purchase the iPad. Similarly, in the so-called companies that accept bitcoin payment, all of them are marked with legal currency. They accept bitcoin through a third-party company, and finally receive legal currency from a third-party company
therefore, stock is people's expectation for the future development of a company, and it is an investment proct. There is no comparison with bitcoin, which clamors to become a currency
2. The existence of money lies in circulation and pricing. A thing that has been reced to a speculative tool since its existence, expecting appreciation and redistributing wealth can not become money
3. As cndx God said, bitcoin will have 2.0 in the future, which will be seamlessly connected with 1.0. That's funny. Why should the inventor of 2.0 connect with 1.0? Just as bitcoin does not connect with RMB, it is another opportunity for wealth redistribution
4. The existence of virtual currency can only meet the money laundering needs of a small number of people, so there is a market. For example, if someone wants to launder US $1 million recently, the ratio of bitcoin to legal currency will change, which is also in line with the market rules. Of course, money laundering is risky. If you buy one million dollars of bitcoin, you will hold it forever without losing any money
5. My legal currency is in the bank. If I lose it, I can still get it back with my ID card. Is my bitcoin password gone? Who should I go to
6. The currency expected by cndx will not be lost. At most, it will play in a certain circle just like Q currency
7. This thing is the proct of anarchism. If you want to embody value, you can only do it without government. The distribution of wealth depends on power and blood. For example, if you hold 10000 bitcoins, ZF says not to use them, and you say I'll use them. Bang, you're dead. Oh, bitcoin has appreciated again, because the total amount is less than 10000.
and there will be no BT in the future
so all websites are in vain
