Research Report on virtual money and money supply
bitcoin price has been cut by the waist
how to implement blockchain application is still the main problem. In addition to bitcoin, the large-scale application of blockchain in other scenarios has not yet reached the commercial stage. Looking back to the second half of 2017, the price of bitcoin almost reached a new high every day, and finally reached the peak in the South Korean exchange with the highest premium in the world - about 140000 yuan per piece. On June 3, 2018, as of press time, coinbase bitcoin trading platform quoted 49688 yuan, and the price of bitcoin has been cut. Since the beginning of this year, the price of bitcoin has rarely seen eye popping ups and downs, and the overall trend of monthly decline
bitcoin development status
according to the data of the in-depth analysis report on business model innovation and investment opportunities of the blockchain instry released by the foresight Instry Research Institute, bitcoin prices showed a downward trend in May, with the overall market value falling from US $157.3 billion at the beginning of the month to US $127.4 billion at the end of the month, a decrease of 19%; In addition, there are 444000 active addresses and 197000 transfers per day. From the trend point of view, the number of active addresses and daily transfers are positively correlated with the transaction price. In May, the overall trend is volatile, and the downward trend is very obvious
reasons for the steady decline of bitcoin in the past half year
how to understand the "steady decline" of bitcoin in the past half year? There are two main reasons: firstly, the most important reason is that institutional investors and speculators who have accumulated a large number of "profit" are cashing in their profits and leaving the market; Secondly, before the blockchain instry has no real application and profit model, the rise of bitcoin price can only be regarded as speculative speculation. In addition, it is an undeniable fact that the Central Bank of China has made a decisive move to close the bitcoin trading platform, which has achieved remarkable results in preventing bitcoin speculation
at present, the domestic bitcoin exchanges have basically moved to foreign countries, which has nothing to do with China. Investors operate on those platforms at their own risk
the current market is not very good. Only when the market is good, can investors find ways to participate in bitcoin investment. As the total market value of the coin circle is still small, with more blockchain applications, there is still potential in the future
over consumed blockchain
e to the "tepid" price of bitcoin, blockchain, as its underlying technology, has reached the level of "known to all women and children", and even surpassed bitcoin in recent years
recently, a series of related reports are suspected of making up for the number and full of hype, and blockchain has obviously been over consumed. In addition to bitcoin, the large-scale application of blockchain in other scenarios has not yet reached the commercial stage
with the graal deepening of the understanding of blockchain technology, domestic enterprises have laid out blockchain technology, platforms and applications, including Internet enterprises such as network, Tencent, Ali, Jingdong, Netease, major banks, financial enterprises such as Ping An of China and Huawei. In terms of application, China actively explores and promotes blockchain + applications in the form of alliance chain and private chain to help solve the pain points of related instries, improve efficiency and rece costs.

the definition of traditional currency
traditional currency, that is, currency in the general sense, refers to the paper money and subsidiary currency issued by the central bank, which includes cash and deposits in circulation. Traditional currency has the functions of value scale, circulation means, payment means and storage means< (2) the definition and characteristics of virtual currency, also known as network currency, digital currency and electronic currency, is based on electronic information network, with commercial electronic machines and various transaction cards as the media, with electronic computer technology and communication technology as the means, and stored in the bank's computer system in the form of electronic data, And through the computer network system in the form of electronic information transmission to achieve circulation and payment function of money, is a new payment tool in the late 1990s
virtual currency is a currency symbol with no value of its own, and it is invisible. The exchange between the buyer and the seller is only reflected in the increase and decrease of the deposit balance in the bank account; At any time in any place that the network or device can cover, both parties can complete the transaction as long as there is exchange behavior; Virtual currency has the function of transcending time, space and region, which has greatly improved the speed and efficiency of money media transactions, greatly reced transaction costs, and promoted the process of globalization of capital flow and financial market integration. Virtual currency is a kind of non-standard currency, which has no geographical currency unit
the difference and connection between virtual currency and traditional currency

In the scope of use, it is the same as the traditional currency, mainly used for small transactions; In commodity transaction payment, it also has the characteristics of autonomy of transaction behavior, consistency of transaction conditions, independence of transaction mode and sustainability of transaction process.
unlike virtual currency, digital currency is neither bitcoin nor q-coin! That is to say, it is different from virtual currencies such as bitcoin and Ethernet
virtual currency can only be closed in circulation on the network, just like Tencent's q-coin and Huixin cloud software collaborative instry ecological chain platform, they can only be used for their own procts. Digital currency can be used for real goods and services transactions, but only the digital currency issued by the state is legal digital currency, bitcoin is illegal digital currency. As for legal digital currency, there is no unified international definition. Yao Qian, deputy director of the science and Technology Department of the people's Bank of China and head of the preparatory group of the digital currency Research Institute, believes that the digital currency researched and issued by the people's Bank of China is indexed RMB. From the perspective of national schemes, it belongs to legal encrypted digital currency, which is not only a payment tool but also a currency. Correspondingly, virtual currency is also called illegal fixed digital currency. Li Lihui, head of the blockchain working group of China Internet Finance Association, once said that digital currency must have legal status, national sovereignty endorsement, and clear responsibility subject of issuance. Virtual currencies represented by bitcoin and ethereal currency have no country, no sovereign endorsement, no qualified issuers, and no national credit support. These are not digital currencies
digital money is not equivalent to virtual currency
since digital money can be used for commodity trading, is Alipay and WeChat payment a kind of digital currency?
Alipay, WeChat payment and mobile phone banks are all electronic money, not digital money. These are all payment methods based on electronic accounts, which are in essence just a process of informatization of legal currency, not digital currency in a strict sense. For example, the amount of Alipay or WeChat transactions is essentially banknotes on bank accounts, but it is electronic form. The "100 yuan" displayed on the mobile phone will correspond to the real 100 yuan in the bank.
