Virtual currency is a digital asset

1. Currency: in essence, it is a contract between the owner and the market about the right of exchange, and it is essentially an agreement between the owners. The essence of money contract determines that money can have different forms, such as general equivalent, precious metal money, paper money, electronic money and so on. Its basic function is the measure of value and the means of circulation—— Extracted from the Internet

fiat money: it means that it does not represent real goods or goods, and the issuer has not cashed the currency into physical obligation; A currency that becomes legal currency only by government decrees. The value of fiat money comes from the owner's belief that money will maintain its purchasing power in the future. Money itself has no intrinsic value, that is to say, when the paper money comes into being, legal tender is essentially the negotiable paper money stipulated by law

the legal currency of the people's Republic of China is RMB, and the people's Bank of China is the national authority in charge of the management of RMB, which is responsible for the design, printing and issuance of RMB—— From the Internet

e-money: in fact, it is the electronization of legal money, including our common bank card, online banking, e-cash, etc; There are also third party payments developed in recent years, such as Alipay and WeChat payment. No matter what the form of these electronic money is and through which institutions it circulates, its original source is the legal money issued by the central bank

virtual currency: virtual currency refers to non real currency, and its existing state is intangible. The most important difference between virtual currency and electronic currency in narrow sense is the difference of issuers. Virtual currency is the electronization of illegal currency, and its original issuer is not the central bank. For example, game currency, q-coin, and ticket counting are mainly limited to circulation in a specific virtual environment

digital currency: digital currency which applies the latest digital network technologies such as blockchain, has the characteristics of Distributed Accounting, unique encryption technology, decentralized settlement, etc. Of course, digital tools with these characteristics must be supported by national credit if they want to become sovereign currency or legal tender

therefore, digital currency must be currency; In today's social system, money must also be sovereign money or legal tender. Secondly, digital currency must have the basic attributes and main functions of currency.

Encrypted digital assets: encrypted digital currency is not issued by legal tender institutions and is not controlled by the central bank. It is based on the open source code of a group of equations calculated by computers all over the world. It is generated by a large number of operations of computer graphics card and CPU, and uses the design of cryptography to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation. The design based on cryptography can make the cryptocurrency only be owned by real users

encrypted digital asset is also a kind of gold existing in the network world, which is a kind of encrypted digital currency based on the block chain technology and using the digital encryption principle. In a sense, it has the same circulation function as ordinary currency. Encrypted digital assets apply blockchain technology to the global financial field, which makes consumers all over the world make business investment through encrypted digital assets, and create a new business model of win-win between investors and users, which is a trend for development

virtual currency:

virtual currency (enterprise currency) is self issued by companies or private indivials. It can be issued indefinitely, and it does not need to be obtained by solving the equation through the CPU program of computer graphics card. Because it can be issued unlimited according to the market demand, it does not have the value of collection and appreciation. There is no ore pool website, no original code.

5. Virtual currency refers to non real currency, which can be roughly divided into three categories:
the first category is familiar game currency
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
the first two types can be regarded as one, which is only a detailed difference in function. Since the end of 2016, the third type of digital currency has quietly entered our life, which refers to the digitization of currency. Digitization doesn't mean scanning. This is just like digital signature. Digital signature does not mean scanning your signature into a digital image, or using the touchpad to obtain the signature, let alone your signature. Digital currency is often mistaken for virtual currency. But virtual currency refers to non real currency. For example, when you play "Three Kingdoms" (game) or "grand Voyage", you have money, which is virtual, that is, the first and second categories we just described. Of course, the virtual money will also have its real value. For example, if you buy her / his account from another player, you can get all the virtual assets of that player, and then it will be much easier for you to continue playing. Virtual money is not necessarily digital. For example, children play games with pebbles as virtual currency
there are also obvious differences between the transaction rules of digital currency and virtual currency. In most cases, the value of digital currency is higher than that of virtual currency, and it needs more strict transaction rules to carry out transactions
