Inventors of virtual currency
the so-called virtual currency has nothing to do with cryptocurrency, which is a pure pyramid scheme. It's just a pyramid scheme under the guise of bitcoin and virtual currency
bitcoin is a consensus network, contributing to a new payment system and a fully digital currency. It is the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network, which is controlled by its users without a central management organization or middleman. From the user's point of view, bitcoin is much like Internet cash. Bitcoin can also be regarded as the most outstanding three style bookkeeping system.
The essence of money is the general equivalent. In the process of the continuous development and evolution of human history, it has gone through the stage of physical money, the stage of substitute money, and then entered the stage of credit money. In primitive society, people exchanged livestock, salt, shells and other hard to get goods as general equivalents
in the long history, the emergence of metal currency makes the economic life achieve unprecedented prosperity. However, e to the inconvenience of carrying metal money, paper money became the mainstream form of money. With the rapid development of modern information technology, e-money has come into our life
if the evolution process from physical money to value symbol paper money is the first qualitative leap in the history of money development, then the evolution process from paper money to electronic money is the second qualitative leap in the history of money development
from the perspective of money form, physical money itself is a commodity in addition to performing monetary functions; Paper money is a symbolic tool of value for commodity exchange and a credit currency; Electronic currency is the proct of highly developed Internet economy and continuous progress of bank payment and settlement technology. It not only has the function of traditional currency, but also can continuously improve digital currency
At the same time, the virtual money market based on electronic information is also booming. By the end of 2014, the number of Internet users in China had reached 632 million, including 517 million registered users in the online game market and 114.48 billion yuan of sales revenue, an actual increase of 37.7% over the previous yeara huge virtual space based on the Internet has been formally formed. As a kind of virtual currency with intrinsic value, convenient online trading behavior, low transaction cost, and service providers' issuance, it emerges as the times require
first of all, from the functional analysis. Virtual currency is a kind of transaction medium in the Internet virtual space, which has the function of value scale, but the value scale of virtual currency is different from that of legal currency
using virtual currency to purchase virtual procts and services can only be within the scope specified and allowed by the issuer of virtual currency (Internet operator), and the size of this scope depends on the number of virtual procts and services. If the virtual procts and services provided by the website are large enough, the scope of virtual currency will be large
the currency value of virtual currency depends on the pricing of virtual currency by issuers. When no currency can communicate between virtual cyberspace and reality, the pricing of procts and services is still based on real RMB. That is to say, when issuers of virtual currency price their own virtual currency, they should first convert the price of virtual currency based on RMB
in the case of hanging order transaction, the transaction will be made according to the price you give (if it can be done), and if the real-time price is the best, the real-time price will be used.
from the primitive society, there has been a simple way to barter, such as a chicken for a bag of rice
later, there were obstacles in the direct exchange of some things, so the most commonly used necessities were used as the intermediate link. For example, a chicken first exchanged for a bag of salt or rice, and then exchanged salt or rice for other things
later, there were obstacles to such a trading mode. There are [general equivalents], such as rare shells or stones, which are used as intermediate links in the transaction. The advantage is that their value is fixed. In this way, you don't have to bring the rice equivalent to the value of a cow in exchange for a cow. You just need to bring enough shell money / stone money according to the specified value. The seller can exchange these "money" for the items he needs at any time
after that, with the development of human civilization, money also changed constantly. For a long time, it was made of metal. Until the Southern Song Dynasty, jiaozi, the earliest paper currency in the world, appeared in China. From now on, it has been developing until today.
