A brief introduction to 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
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
digital currency is an unregulated and digital currency, which is usually issued and managed by developers and accepted and used by members of specific virtual communities. The European Banking authority defines virtual currency as a digital representation of value, which is not issued by central banks or authorities, nor linked to legal currency. However, because it is accepted by the public, it can be used as a means of payment, or it can be transferred, stored or traded electronically
in recent years, the price of bitcoin has risen rapidly, which has led to the rise of a number of virtual currencies, and then triggered a large number of people to follow suit. In the market, there is a saying that "it is better to speculate in stocks than in real estate"
however, the explosion of bitcoin has also caused great controversy. J. P. Morgan CEO Jamie; Jamie Dimon snapped bitcoin in the middle of this month, calling it "a fraud.". Recently, Mike Novogratz, a legendary fund manager who has sung many digital currencies, said, "bitcoin will be the biggest bubble in our life." The following is the full text of bitcoin China announcement:
bitcoin China will close the digital assets and RMB recharge function at 12:00 noon on September 27, Beijing time
the ensuing ban on bitcoin mining is natural.
Virtual currency is different from check and telegraphic transfer. The value that virtual currency can't realize can't be transferred by bank. At present, it can only circulate in the network world. Virtual currency is released by various network organizations, and there is no unified issuance and management standard
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, u currency, network currency, bubble currency, cool currency, Warcraft gold coin, Paradise currency, Shanda counting, 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 speed of 15% - 20%
Baichuan coin,
to put it bluntly, this is a kind of counterfeit currency, without any innovation, and even the source code is not public.
