Functional services of various virtual currencies
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.

extended data:
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

infinite coin was released on June 5, 2013. Based on scrypt POW algorithm. A block is generated in 30 seconds. In the initial block, there are 524288 infinite coins in each block. After that, for every 86400 blocks generated, the number of coins in the block is halved, with a total of 90.6 billion. The difficulty of mining is adjusted every hour
Quark coin is not the currency in real life, it exists safely in the computer of global networkquark network is protected by six most advanced encryption algorithms to ensure that it can become a digital ledger. The whole network uses each of the six functions to generate a proof of work, and the coin maker must "verify" these transactions to ensure that each coin increase is real and effective
only regular computer can participate in ensuring that it can maintain a highly secure peer-to-peer network, which makes it more decentralized

(1) virtual currency based on entity
since ancient times, all "money" made of paper is called paper currency, and all countries in the world are actually paper currency. In Marx's time, paper money was only a symbol of metal money. The actual gold content of paper money was equal to the nominal gold content. When the nominal gold content was greater than the actual gold content, the price index of metal money would increase because of too many paper money. When it exceeded a certain limit, inflation would occur. Marx called these over issued bank notes without gold as guarantee virtual currency. In Keynesian era, paper money was the symbol of GDP. He defined the issue of paper money caused by making up the fiscal deficit as deficit money, and believed that the issue of paper deficit money could promote the development of proction to a certain extent, but only cause half inflation. Zhang chunjia's research in "Introction to virtual currency" also proves that paper money without precious metal and GDP guarantee will cause price rise, and this kind of money is called virtual currency
(2) virtual currency based on virtual
virtual currency is a new type of currency emerging at a certain stage of network social and economic development to meet the security and convenience needs of users. It represents the development direction of future currency existence form. It comes from the Internet, and acts as a general equivalent in the network society completely or partially. Virtual currency is a real currency with the basic attributes of currency, but it is virtual and depends on the network virtual environment. Virtual currency is born without borders, which makes it more liquid than traditional currency in the world. Virtual world corresponds to the real world. Through the exchange relationship between virtual currency and traditional currency, under certain conditions, specific virtual currency can buy physical goods, and traditional currency can also buy specific virtual goods< Second, the characteristics of virtual currency
1. Value: users get utility value by consuming the procts and services provided by operators. Virtual currency has value by providing exchange to meet the utility of consumers. The quantity of virtual currency measures the value of general goods. The issue essence of virtual currency is credit issue, which is the creditor's right of the holder to the issuer. To a certain extent, the value of this kind of claim is the right of claim
2. Virtual environment dependence. The existence of virtual currency is based on the virtual economic environment provided by the issuers and the sustainable operation of the issuers themselves. Otherwise, virtual currency has no significance.
3. Short sighted currency. As the highest price in the process of commodity exchange, the form of currency value can be regarded as the real currency. Because of the limitation of circulation scope, virtual currency can not be used as the general equivalent of all commodities; But in a certain range, it has the function of monetary value scale and circulation means. Therefore, it can be considered that virtual currency is similar to the form of money value, and it is a primary form of money, which is similar to money< The issue and circulation of virtual money is limited, but it will enlarge the money supply through the money multiplier effect, and affect the difficulty and accuracy of macroeconomic regulation and control. The issuers of virtual money need to report their circulation and circulation to the central bank, and obey the unified management of the central bank at any time
5. Virtual currency, which is issued by non-financial entities outside the financial system, aims to obtain business opportunities and competitive advantages. It is a market behavior and will inevitably lead to competition among issuers. This kind of competition will proce unfair competition behavior or obtain competitive advantage through rent-seeking, which determines the need to regulate the market behavior of the market subject according to the laws and regulations
6. Virtuality: as a kind of approximate currency, virtual currency is virtual existence if it only exists in the virtual world and can purchase the virtual property in it; If it is linked with sovereign currency, it can exist in the real world and purchase real assets, then it is a virtual thing of sovereign currency. Virtual currency is actually a series of data files existing in the computer system. It has the meaning of virtual currency only after the issuers explain the system. Therefore, the existence form of virtual currency is virtual< In general, virtual currency can purchase the procts and services provided by the issuers, and it can also be exchanged with the issuers outside the scope of issuance at a certain rate to purchase the procts of the alliance. For procts outside the alliance, virtual currency has no value significance; Similarly, when virtual currency is only authorized to buy different procts in different sales cycles, the use of virtual currency has limited application in time and scope, unlike sovereign currency, which can be completely freely exchanged
8. Separability: virtual currency has no physical form and is a digital storage information. Unlike traditional paper currency, it needs to consider the balance relationship between the circulation of main currency and subsidiary currency and the proportion of various currency values. It can be split infinitely. For example, although the total number of dark coins is only 2300, each bitcoin can be split into eight directions of ten< Although virtual currency exists in the virtual world, the process of new technological revolution has closely linked the virtual world with reality, and the virtual world has become an important part of people's spiritual life. It can promote the development of real economy, for example, a large number of entertainment application projects provide people with rich spiritual wealth and real wealth, and more and more people invest in virtual currency, which represents a trend, and the more successful ones are bitcoin, Leyte coin and the new domestic King coin; On the contrary, money laundering, gambling and network theft in the virtual world will have a negative effect on the real economy.
the second type is the special currency issued by the portal website or instant messaging service provider, which is used to purchase the services in the website. The most widely used is Tencent's q-coin, which can be used to purchase membership, QQ show and other value-added services
fold
in the future, blockchain will be applied in any field and bring great impact on human life. Blockchain technology is regarded as one of the main protocols of the next generation of value Internet. Blockchain technology will be useful in any field of proction and life that lacks trust. From digital currency to securities and financial contracts, health care, games, artificial intelligence, intelligent contracts, Internet of things, identity authentication, asset trading, e-commerce, social communication, file storage and other fields can be widely used
in the aspect of medical treatment
when the blockchain technology is used to save the personal medical records, there will be the historical data of personal medical treatment, which can be understood as the electronic medical records on the blockchain. In the future, there will be data for medical treatment or health planning, and the real master of this data is the patient himself, not the hospital or a third-party organization. In addition, these data have strong privacy, and the use of blockchain technology also helps to protect the privacy of patients
payment system
compared with the existing traditional payment system, blockchain technology can avoid the complex system, directly between the two sides of the transaction, does not involve intermediary institutions, even if part of the network is paralyzed, it will not affect the operation of the whole system. This method has the characteristics of low price, fast speed, and no intermediate fees
banking
as a digital, secure and anti-interference account, blockchain realizes the core function of Banking: the safe storage and transfer center of value. Some banks with keen sense of smell in the world have begun to actively plan to join the army of blockchain research and application in order to gain the initiative in the fierce competition in the future
identity authentication of blockchain
blockchain has the feature of being accessible to everyone. Everyone can query the block information in any place with network. The high transparency also makes blockchain full of charm. In the future, ID card and account book are basically not needed, because every identity information can be written into the blockchain. When you need to verify the information, you only need to look it up to find it
election
based on the voting transaction on the blockchain, it can be confirmed that no vote has been modified or deleted, and there will be no improper voting
Real Estate
blockchain technology can change the operation mode of the real estate market. It can combine many complex processes and cases that real estate companies usually deal with, speed up the transaction process, rece fraud, and provide more transparent and secure transactions for each participant. Provides a way to achieve paperless and fast trading needs
securities issuance and trading
the probability of various kinds of errors in general stock and other securities trading is too high, which requires manual correction, thus prolonging the time required for transaction settlement. Through the transaction of distributed ledger, the automation of the whole process can be realized, and the security and efficiency can be improved. The identity and transaction volume of the trading party are recorded on the blockchain in real time, with an open, transparent and traceable system. It is concive to the market maintenance of securities issuers and regulatory authorities, and can rece the occurrence of black box operation and insider trading
in the scenario of relatively closed, multi-party trust problems and carrying value transmission, blockchain has unique technical advantages and also shows unique charm, which has great application imagination space. At the current stage, blockchain is worth exploring in some scenarios.
First, personalized virtual currency will have information function in addition to liquidity and value-added
the biggest difference between personalized virtual currency and stock market is not only the integrated pricing function with reference points, but also the distributed pricing function with reference points. This process is not completed in the virtual money market, but in the development of personalized modern services. For example, in the process of indivial auction, the bargaining process combined with frame should include not only a process of utility exchange leading to value unification, but also a process of value realization leading to value diversification. This means that virtual currency must be combined with the development of personalized information service instry. Although the stock also has certain information function, but this kind of information is subordinate, it is instry centered
in the future, virtual currency can simultaneously perform three functions of currency, stock and information card: on the one hand, it can obtain liquidity as the base currency (or exchange with the base currency); On the one hand, it has value-added function; The most important thing is that it can also add information. And this kind of information is just a kind of interface information to be completed, which needs to continue to realize its value in the service instry
secondly, personalized virtual currency will have its own cultural value orientation
in the future personalized virtual currency trading market, price level information similar to today's stock index will also be formed. But different from stock index, personalized virtual currency price index will not reflect investment value-added information, but entertainment value, cultural value, spiritual value, freedom value and personality value similar to cool value. For example, the game index may not reflect its investment value, but the value of indivial freedom
for another example, in the super girl vote, it reflects the popularity index, not the professional index. If it is not SMS voting, but a personalized IC card integrated with currency and derivative financial instruments, such as corn card and fans card, the value of the card will fluctuate with the fashion information, reflecting the freedom of personal choice. Once it is combined with the development of personalized service instry, it will form a benign interaction mechanism
thirdly, personalized virtual money market will play a role in promoting traditional instries
with the development of game instrialization and instrial Gamification, indivial freedom has been comprehensively developed, that is, personalized self realization, which will become the ultimate goal of instrial upgrading. Traditional instries, including proct manufacturing and service instries, will take the satisfaction of spiritual and cultural values as the pursuit of added value of procts and services. In the context of the development of this instry, the role of personalized information service instry in driving traditional instries may be realized through the guidance of personalized virtual money market. In other words, after the procts and services of traditional instries have reached the optimal homogenization, they will eventually find out under the guidance of the information market that those things that are cool enough will sell well, and those that are not cool enough will not sell
the future instrial development will need not only GNP type stock index guidance, but also GNH type cool value index guidance. Japan, which has put forward GNC (National cool value), is moving towards such an instrial development mode, thus following the Meiji Restoration, moving towards the road of modern instrial development. The United States and South Korea have also come to the front in this regard. China is facing the choice of the second modernization. Many "little things" like virtual currency actually contain significant information
