The relationship between virtual currency and traditional curren

1.

The differences between e-money and virtual money are as follows:

1. Electronic money refers to using a certain amount of cash or deposit to exchange from the issuer and obtain data representing the same amount, or through the quick payment service launched by the bank and the third party to transfer the balance in the bank through some electronic ways, so that transactions can be carried out. Strictly speaking, it is a kind of currency that consumers use the bank's Internet banking service to store value and make quick payment to the issuers of electronic currency, and make consumers trade electronically through media (two-dimensional code or hardware equipment)

virtual currency refers to non real currency. Well known virtual currencies, such as online currency of Internet company, q-coin of Tencent company, q-point and voucher of Shanda company, micro currency launched by Sina (used for micro games, Sina reading, etc.), chivalrous Yuanbao (used for chivalrous road game), silver grain (used for bixue Qingtian game), and popular digital currencies in 2013 include bitcoin, Laite coin, infinite coin, quark coin, zeta coin, etc Barbecue coins, pennies (Internet), invisible gold bars, red coins, prime coins. At present, hundreds of digital currencies are issued all over the world. Popular in the circle & quot; The legend of "bitcoin, Wright silver, infinite copper, pennies aluminum"

The detailed explanation of electronic currency is as follows:

1. Concept: it is an encrypted serial number representing cash, which can be used to represent the currency value of various amounts in reality. With the transformation from paper-based economy to digital economy, e-cash will become the mainstream

2. Features: anonymity, transaction cost saving, transmission cost saving, low holding risk, flexible and convenient payment, anti-counterfeiting and anti repetition, non traceability

There are two kinds of e-cash: one is based on the Internet and keeps the binary data representing the value of money in the hard disk of the computer terminal; One is the electronic wallet that keeps the monetary value in the IC card and can be circulated without the bank payment system

4. Definition: consumers pay traditional money to the issuers of electronic money, and the issuers store the equal value of traditional money in the electronic devices held by consumers in electronic form

2. With the development of the Internet, while providing a large number of free services to the majority of Internet users, according to the company's profit needs and the diversified needs of users, various websites have launched charging services. This also promoted the emergence of virtual currency
in order to provide better services, many portal websites and online game operators have been providing virtual currency for use for a long time. According to incomplete statistics, there are no less than 10 kinds of network virtual currency (referred to as network currency) currently in circulation, such as Q currency, network currency, cool currency, Warcraft currency, Paradise currency, Shanda (game area) coupon, etc. Take Q coin as an example, there are more than 200 million users. Instry insiders estimate that the domestic Internet has a virtual money market scale of several billion yuan per year, and is growing at a rate of 15% - 20%
in a market economy, demand stimulates innovation, which in turn stimulates demand. The increasing popularity of virtual currency is completed in the needs of users and the innovation of enterprises. At present, there are many kinds of virtual currency in China's network market, among which Tencent, relying on its huge QQ users, has timely launched QQ currency with the maturity of instant messaging market
it is undeniable that virtual currency makes us feel the convenience of purchasing network services, which is the inevitable proct of the development of network economy. But at present, the network virtual currency has quietly changed into a huge trading market
Lyndon larush, a famous American economist, once predicted that from 2050, the virtual currency of the Internet will be officially recognized to some extent and become a mobile currency. With such a large market and bright prospects, many companies are eager to try and intend to occupy this market. Now it seems that the network, PayPal (PayPal) and Tencent are in the leading position
at the present stage, most e-money is based on the existing real money (cash or deposit), which has the function of "value measurement" and "value preservation", and the precondition that e-money and real money can exchange at a ratio of 1
: 1 is established
as a means of payment, most e-money can not be separated from cash or deposit. It is transmitted and transferred by electronic means to pay off creditor's rights and debts and realize settlement. Therefore, the function and influence of e-money at present is essentially the relationship between e-money, cash and deposit
at present, there are four types of popular electronic currency in China
1. Stored value card electronic currency. Generally, it appears in the form of magnetic card or IC card. Besides commercial banks, it is also issued by telecommunication departments (ordinary telephone card, IC telephone card), IC enterprises (network card), commercial retail enterprises (various consumption cards), government organs (internal consumption IC card) and schools (Campus IC card). After the issuer receives the customer's funds in advance, it issues the equivalent stored value card, which makes the stored value card a new "deposit account" independent of the bank deposit. At the same time, the stored value card in the customer consumption to dect the way to pay fees, which is equivalent to the deposit account payment currency. At present, the deposits in the stored value cards are not included in the central bank's reserve requirements. Therefore, the stored value cards can rece the demand for cash and current savings
2. Credit card applied electronic currency. It refers to the credit card or quasi credit card issued by commercial banks, credit card companies and other issuers. The loan can be consumed within the credit limit specified by the issuer, and then the repayment can be made at the specified time. The widespread use of credit cards can expand consumer credit and affect money supply
3. They are mainly debit cards, electronic checks, etc., which are used to withdraw cash, transfer settlement and transfer funds from bank deposits in an electronic way. The widespread use of this kind of electronic payment method can rece the cost of consumers to and from the bank, rece the balance of cash demand, and speed up the circulation of money
4. Cash analog electronic currency. There are mainly two kinds: one is e-cash which is based on the Internet environment and keeps the binary data representing the value of money in the hard disk of the computer terminal; One is the electronic wallet that keeps the monetary value in the IC card and can be circulated without the bank payment system. This kind of e-money has the characteristics of anonymity of cash, can be used for payment between indivials, and can change hands many times. It is developed for the purpose of replacing entity cash. The expanding use of this kind of electronic currency can affect the currency issuing mechanism, rece the seigniorage income of the central bank, and rece the scale of assets and liabilities of the central bank

1. The essence of interpretation is different:

virtual currency: virtual currency refers to non real currency

currency: currency (CCY) is the medium of purchasing goods and preserving wealth. It is the contract between the owner of property and the market about the right of exchange. In essence, it is the agreement between the owners

2. Different types:

virtual currency: game currency, special currency, etc.

currency: coin, paper currency, deposit currency, etc.

extended data:

formation of virtual currency market:

Internet leads to the emergence of a new market, which is a virtual market based on cyberspace. The Internet provides a lot of communication places for consumers, and also provides business market for enterprises. Enterprises must change from proct centered to service centered to customer centered

with the development of computer artificial intelligence technology and database technology, enterprises can conveniently collect customers' information, understand customers' needs in time, change business strategies and grasp economic arteries in real time

4. If virtual currency and traditional currency can be exchanged freely, it will inevitably impact the traditional economy. Including but not limited to money laundering, monetary policy implementation and regulation.

5. Many people have said that the following is the view of central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan:
Caixin reporter: on January 20, the people's Bank of China held a seminar on digital currency and proposed to strive for the early launch of the digital currency issued by the central bank. What is the reason for this< In fact, the central bank has been studying digital currency for a long time. From the perspective of historical development trend, money has always evolved with the development of technological progress and economic activities. From the early physical money, commodity money to the later credit money, it is a natural choice to adapt to the development of human commercial society. As the currency of the previous generation, paper money has low technology content. From the perspective of safety and cost, it is the general trend to be replaced by new technology and new procts. In particular, with the development of the Internet and the great changes in payment methods all over the world, the establishment of digital currency issuance and circulation system is very necessary for the construction of financial infrastructure and the promotion of economic quality, efficiency and upgrading
how to replace it? There are several ideas: one is to imitate paper money. For example, transactions between paper money are anonymous, and digital currency also wants to be anonymous, which leads to its technology choice. But the reason why banknotes are anonymous is not designed intentionally at first, but no other technology can guarantee the convenience of a large number of small transactions. Of course, some people think that anonymity is better for future digital currency transactions, because assuming that the government may make mistakes, the privacy of private wealth and the use of wealth should be absolutely protected
from the perspective of the central bank, the future digital currency should try its best to protect private privacy, but social security and order are also important. In case of criminal problems, it is necessary to retain the necessary verification means, that is to say, it is necessary to find a balance between protecting privacy and cracking down on criminal activities. The mastery of the balance between these two motivations also makes the tendency of technology choice different<
Caixin: what are the central bank's ideas on the issue and management of digital currency? What's the difference between digital currency and digital currency spontaneously appearing in the current market< / > Zhou Xiaochuan: at present, what many countries in the world recognize is the framework of digital or electronic money dominated by the central bank, which may be different from that of the people
when the central bank issues digital currency, it mainly embodies the following principles: first, it provides convenience and security. Second, as mentioned above, we should balance the protection of privacy with the maintenance of social order and the fight against illegal and criminal acts, especially for money laundering, terrorism and other criminal acts. Third, it should be concive to the effective operation and transmission of monetary policy. The fourth is to retain the control of currency sovereignty. Digital currency is freely convertible and controllable. Therefore, we believe that digital currency as legal tender must be issued by the central bank. The issue, circulation and transaction of digital currency should follow the idea of integration of traditional currency and digital currency, and implement the same principle of management
Caixin: is there a timetable for the launch of digital currency? Is it going to replace paper money in the end
Zhou Xiaochuan: we can't say the timetable of digital currency yet. China has a large population and a large volume. For example, a new version of RMB can be changed in a few months for small countries, but it will take about 10 years for China. Therefore, digital currency and cash will be parallel and graally replaced for quite a long time. In the later stage, the transaction cost of cash will graally rise. For example, in the past, banks were asked to count a large number of coins, and there was no charge for them. Later, they may need to charge. With the incentive mechanism, people will naturally use more digital currency, but the two will still co deposit in the longer term< However, there are many other applications of virtual currency. For example, the European crowdfunding platform uses blockchain technology to combine digital currency with real assets.

7. The simultaneous interpreting of virtual currencies is different from traditional money printing. Compared with traditional currencies, virtual currency resources are limited, and the quantity of traditional currencies is limited.

8. At the moment, there is a big difference. I feel that the most common point is that all of them can be used for payment. For example, Dell accepts bitcoin payment to buy computers. Or you can ask Babbitt, where there are more cattle.

1、 The difference in application:

the anti-counterfeiting of traditional currency depends on the specific essence, while the anti-counterfeiting of electronic currency can only be realized by electronic technology, communication technology and encryption or authentication system

Second, the difference in institutional issuance:

traditional currency is generally monopolized by the central bank or specific financial institutions. The central bank bears its issuing cost and enjoys its profit. The issuing mechanism of e-money is different. The issuing institutions include central bank, general financial institutions and even non-financial institutions, and more of them are the latter

Third, the difference of regional restrictions:

the use of traditional currency has strict regional restrictions; Electronic currency breaks the geographical restrictions. As long as businesses are willing to accept it, consumers can easily obtain and use multinational currency
