The scarcity of virtual currency

1.

virtual currency is the currency used for electronic circulation. Now the scope of virtual currency is very large, including q-coin, bitcoin and so on. With the development of digital currency, virtual currency is becoming more and more abundant, which may become the mainstream in the future. For example, BTC, EOS, bcbot and so on are not only virtual currencies, but also algorithms, landing projects and technologies

virtual currency is mainly issued by online game service providers to purchase game props, such as equipment, clothing, etc. But at present, the use of virtual currency has gone far beyond this category. Virtual currency can be used to buy game cards, physical objects and download services of some movies and software

real risk

as the proct of e-commerce, virtual currency has begun to play an increasingly important role, and it is more and more connected with the real world. However, with the growth of virtual currency, the relevant laws and regulations are lagging behind, which has laid many hidden dangers

fraud

the private transaction of online virtual currency has realized the two-way circulation between virtual currency and RMB to a certain extent. The activity of these traders is to buy all kinds of virtual currencies and procts at a low price, and then sell them at a high price to earn profits. With the increase of such transactions, there are even virtual mints. In addition to the virtual currency provided by the main company, there are also some people who specialize in "virtual coin making" to obtain virtual currency by playing games and then resell it to other players

Taking Wenzhou as an example, there are about seven or eight such "virtual mints" with four or five hundred practitioners. This not only creates a bubble for the price of the virtual currency itself, but also causes trouble for the normal sale of the issuing company. It also provides a platform for selling and collecting money and money laundering for various cyber crimes. p>

impact system

in modern financial system, the issuers of money are generally central banks, which are responsible for the management and supervision of money operation. As the equivalent exchange goods used to replace the real currency circulation on the Internet, the virtual currency on the Internet is essentially the same as the real currency. The difference is that the issuers are no longer central banks, but Internet companies

if the development of virtual currency makes it form a unified market, each company can exchange with each other, or virtual currency is integrated and unified, and all of them are based on the same standard and price, then in a sense, virtual currency is currency, which is likely to form a threat impact on the traditional financial system or economic operation

2. As a typical representative of virtual currency, bitcoin's fall has directly or indirectly affected related instries. The news of players' wealth shrinking and mining machinery selling by Jin emerge one after another. As investors become cautious about virtual currency investment, the market is in a downturn. Facing the sluggish market, players can not see the hope of investment, so it is inevitable that virtual currency has no future. However, there are also players in low-key bottom hunting, that bitcoin led virtual currency, has great investment value< br />
The essential value of any kind of currency is that it can be used as the value scale to measure other things and has stability. The virtual currency here is not game currency, but a digital cryptocurrency like bitcoin. The bottom layer uses blockchain technology, which has the characteristics of decentralization, information tampering and anonymity. At present, cryptocurrency headed by bitcoin can not bear the property of currency. It is not fair to conclude that there is no value

a consensus has been reached in the currency circle by default, that is, bitcoin is similar to diamonds in the real world. The value of diamonds is given by businessmen, and it has been agreed that diamonds can symbolize love and have practical properties. Mining diamonds and gold also need to consume a lot of costs, but it is because a lot of costs are consumed that the constant intrinsic value of diamonds and gold can be ensured. The resources that can be obtained casually are prone to inflation< br />
The fall in 2018 makes investors return to rationality, which is actually concive to the standardized development of the currency circle. Now, regardless of the practical value of digital currency, this capital harvest makes investors further understand the importance of risk management. Money circle and Internet Finance allow investors to see that they are profitable, so they don't have to think about investing in it. It is ultimately their own loss. Whether this bear market can make investors understand the essence of money circle is still unknown. However, the future development of the coin circle still needs government regulation, as well as the regular operation of platforms and projects. Of course, only with the support of capital can the coin circle develop healthily and systematically. Therefore, capital outflow is the biggest reason for bitcoin's sharp decline.

Virtual currency is valuable because of its liquidity and not easy to query

a bitcoin system written by a pile of codes, from worthless to 100000 yuan, what is bitcoin? Why is it so valuable? Once you understand the nature of bitcoin, you won't just focus on currency price fluctuations. It can be said that the invention of bitcoin has given people unlimited imagination. Of course, the value of bitcoin is also determined by its demand. So who needs bitcoin in the first place? When we talk about how to reach a consensus on a broader level, let's first look at the essence of value. Why is gold valuable and what is its essence

in my opinion, a group of virtual currencies led by bitcoin will exist for a long time and will not replace the current legal tender. It will exist independent of fiat money and will not belong to any country. Some virtual currencies are recognized by some people first, and then graally form a wider circulation because of their value. More people reach this consensus, and finally they have the value of existence. Of course, most virtual currencies have no value and are aviation currencies. If a currency wants to exist for a long time, it must go through a long period of ups and downs, and constantly dig out its greater use value, in order to become a virtual currency with real value

4. This view is controversial. China's central bank defines bitcoin as a special Internet commodity, while the United States recently classifies bitcoin as a commodity. Of course, the attitude of European countries towards bitcoin is relatively ambiguous. Germany is the first country in the world to recognize bitcoin as a unit of account. However, most people in the currency circle regard virtual currency as currency. Let me take bitcoin as an example to illustrate:

bitcoin has value because it is useful as a form of currency. Bitcoin has the mathematical characteristics of money (persistence, portability, interchangeability, scarcity, separability and identifiability) rather than relying on physical characteristics (such as gold and silver) or the trust of central power (such as fiat money). In short, bitcoin is backed by mathematics. With these characteristics, a form of money to have value requires trust and use. This can be reflected in the growing number of users, businesses and start-ups. Like all currencies, the value of bitcoin comes directly from people who are willing to accept it as a means of payment, which is the only source

of course, some domestic digital currency scholars began to take bitcoin not as a kind of currency, but as a shortcut. Teacher Shaqian proposed the concept of currency business circle. Perhaps inspired by the recent emergence of a currency called Fuyuan coin in the jewelry instry, it is very innovative to use Fuyuan coin to replace the traditional business integral system.

5. It has been a consensus that digital currency is a kind of currency, which can be paid and protected. Bitcoin is also known as digital gold
you don't need to understand, just know that it's the truth, and it's more and more valuable

6. This may be caused by a variety of reasons. First of all, as far as I know, Mt. GOx (commonly known as Mentougou), the world's largest bitcoin trading platform at that time, announced before February 10 that the withdrawal of bitcoin had been suspended e to technical problems, and planned to solve the technical problems and resume bitcoin on February 10. However, on February 10, bitcoin did not recover, and the problem of address forking of bitcoin wallet broke out, claiming that it was not only his own problem, but the same problem existed in the whole bitcoin system, which affected the price of bitcoin plummeting for the first time. The Mentougou incident cast a shadow on bitcoin and once plummeted below 2000

however, this has something to do with the wantonly one-sided reports of the media, which has caused excessive panic among bitcoin players and made selling bitcoin popular

the bitcoin mining machine instry is also deeply affected by this incident. At this stage, bitcoin miners are mining at a loss, and the mining machines in the market are also ignored. Take the mainstream Avalon chip in the market as an example. As the price of bitcoin continues to fall, the price of the third generation Avalon chip has been reced from 80 yuan to 14 yuan since it was released. However, with the recovery of bitcoin price, the sales of bitcoin mining machines are booming again.

7. Digital currency is a form of currency settlement

8. Virtual currency has certain advantages. Let's take bitcoin (Wright coin, Fuyuan coin, Dog Coin similar) as an example to illustrate:

bitcoin has value because it is useful as a form of currency. Bitcoin has the mathematical characteristics of money (persistence, portability, interchangeability, scarcity, separability and identifiability) rather than relying on physical characteristics (such as gold and silver) or the trust of central authorities (such as fiat money). In short, bitcoin is backed by mathematics. With these characteristics, a form of money to have value requires trust and use. In contrast, this can be reflected in its growing base of users, businesses and start-ups. Like all currencies, the value of bitcoin comes directly from people who are willing to accept it as a means of payment, which is the only source.
