The background of virtual currency

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

reference: network virtual currency

The main background of net currency is the difficulty of domestic micro electronic payment. Online game operators use this channel is not cheap vouchers to charge fees. Originally, only RMB was allowed to be exchanged for net currency, but reverse exchange was not allowed. However, with the development of online game instry, people spontaneously exchange various kinds of online currency, and even use online currency to buy physical procts or services that only RMB can buy, forming a purchasing power similar to currency. The boundary between virtual currency and real currency is graally blurred
in fact, in countries with developed financial environment, virtual currency has appeared for a long time, and its purpose is to make profits. For example, the virtual currency "Wangdou" first introced by beenz. Beenz has reached an agreement with MasterCard that consumers can not only save their online beans into smart cards, but also use them in traditional stores. This business model is to sell virtual net beans to some websites for 1 cent each, and then send them to netizens or let them win through various ways. These virtual currencies can be consumed as cash in online stores. In the end, beenz will buy it back from the website operator for 0.5 cents each for a profit. In 2000, there were about 750 million beenz beans in circulation, equivalent to 60 or 70 million yuan. It was also at that time that China's online currency appeared. China bonus provided virtual currency to consumers in the form of points. Points accumulated to a certain amount, can be used to exchange phone cards, network cards, T-shirts and other prizes
in online games, virtual goods such as virtual gold coins, virtual equipment, virtual animals and plants, and virtual people have great attraction for players, which promotes the consumption of these virtual goods. However, e to the backwardness of domestic electronic payment methods and security concerns, players often use cash in advance to buy the virtual currency issued by operators, Then use these vouchers to buy virtual goods online. As long as the content of the game is attractive enough, players will buy the virtual currency issued by the game operator through various channels. The development of online game instry has led to the surge of virtual currency types and circulation
in order to gather popularity, expand the number of game users, and improve the interest and loyalty of players, all game operators provide a considerable amount of free virtual currency, and players can win virtual currency through the game process. Therefore, online game operators actually have unlimited rights to issue virtual currency. If virtual money is only used to buy virtual goods, because the supply of virtual goods is artificially set, and the manufacturing time can be almost ignored, even if there are transactions between different types of virtual money, it will not have any impact on the real economy. However, if virtual currency can be used to buy real goods and services, excessive issuance will certainly cause inflation. At this time, whether the virtual currency is converted into real currency is not important
many domestic network enterprises have broken through the boundary between the virtual economy and the real economy. For example, Netease popo rewards users with money according to their online time. This virtual currency can pay for SMS. The exchange rate in this application can be calculated with the payment capacity of a short message worth 1000 yuan equal to 0.4 yuan; In addition, it can also be used as a voucher for purchasing physical goods in Netease mall. Holders of Shanda point coin can buy paid download services on the Internet. In addition to the company's paid services, q-coin can also be used to purchase other game point cards, virtual goods, and even some video and software download services
the emergence of money is an abstract unit of quantity for the convenience of exchanging different resources. If there are enough people to recognize the value of a virtual currency, it may become a substitute unit of material exchange. For example, with the popularity of QQ, Q coin has graally become a circulating equivalent exchange unit. Adam Smith, a famous economist, used barter to explain the origin of money in 1776: "the armor of Diomedes is only worth 9 cows, while the armor of glaucus is worth 100 cows. In Abyssinia, salt is a common medium of Commerce and trade; More than 200 years later, many people are exchanging various kinds of game currency for real life needs, and the Internet world has begun to dece the origin of currency again

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

Machine made currency is a variety of metal currency made by machine rather than by hand. In China, coins mainly refer to metal coins made by modern machines, including gold coins, silver coins, copper coins, nickel coins, aluminum coins, antimony coins, magnesium coins, lead coins, etc. There are grouting coins corresponding to machine-made coins.

In addition, there were several major minting centers in Tianjin, Nanjing, Wuhan, Anqing, Cheng, Chongqing, etc. from this time on, the minting of coins in most parts of the country graally became unified, at least in shape and face value for a long time. It was only in the late Republic of China that chaos arose again

2. The real machine-made currency was officially started in Taiwan ring the reign of Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty.

the second one is "Ruyi silver cake", also known as "flower basket silver cake". As silver cakes need to be measured and marked in circulation, the remaining Taiwan silver cakes are often beyond recognition, but they are all normal phenomena

the third kind of "pen treasure silver cake", also known as "sword called silver cake". Front: cornucopia, left and right to write "army" and "pay" two words, below "foot pattern traffic". Back: Ruyi Yuanbao and strap cross double pen, on the top of the "Treasury", under the "full weight 68" stamp is often particularly many

The most representative silver coins of this period are: "Guangxu Yuanbao" Kuping Qiqian Sanfen, commonly known as "Qisan fanban". According to the posture of dragon, there are sitting Dragon (squatting dragon, most common), standing Dragon (standing dragon), swimming dragon, flying dragon (Winged dragon), etc; In addition, there are dragon patterns with different postures, such as water dragon, square dragon, anti dragon, long tailed dragon, hunchback dragon, Panlong, Jiaolong, etc

8, the Chinese Soviet made (the Chinese Soviet Republic made a circle of Marx) one is the Chinese Soviet Republic made, a circle of Marx. The other is the national currency of the Soviet Republic of China, one yuan, like Lenin In 1934, Sichuan and Shaanxi Province made the one yuan silver coin of the Chinese Soviet Republic.

The base area of Hubei, Henan and Anhui is a red regime established by the Red Army of workers and peasants in the Dabie Mountains.
