extended data
at present, digital currency is more like an investment proct, because it lacks a strong guarantee agency to maintain its price stability, and its role as a value measure has not yet appeared, so it can not be used as a means of payment. As an investment proct, digital currency cannot develop without trading platform, operating company and investment company
digital currency is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the blockchain technology it relies on has been decentralized and can be used in other fields except digital currency, which is one of the reasons why bitcoin is popular; On the other hand, if digital currency is widely used by the public as a kind of currency, it will have a huge impact on the effectiveness of monetary policy, financial infrastructure, financial market and financial stability

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
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
reference: network virtual currency
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.
network virtual currency can be roughly divided into

in view of the new varieties and new situation of the recent illegal financial activities, the relevant regulatory authorities organized to block the "going to sea" virtual currency trading platform and resolutely crack down on the ICO's emergence and various varieties. As of the end of May, 110 websites of trading platforms, including huocoin.com and coin.com, had been blocked P>
at the same time, the regulatory authorities continue to strengthen the liquidation and rectification from the end of payment and settlement, and have interviewed many non bank payment institutions such as Cai Fu Tong and Alipay for many times, demanding that they strictly implement the requirement that they should not carry out related businesses such as bitcoin and other virtual currencies.
