market formation
the Internet has led 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
With the rapid development of computer and network communication technology, the application of Internet technology has graally penetrated into various fields of human activities, and the unlimited business opportunities that it contains make businesses turn their eyes to e-commerce. E-commerce is penetrating into all aspects of social and economic life at a speed that people can hardly imaginethe traditional finance is also closely watching this irresistible trend of global economic integration and networking. As a result, value-added services take art as the selling point and can be regarded as commodities; The sword in the game is not a brand-new financial services business philosophy - e-finance came into being
from the historical development process, to understand e-finance, we must start from the electronic finance and e-commerce. The so-called e-financialization means that financial enterprises adopt modern communication, computer, network and other information technology means in addition to Internet technology to improve the work efficiency of traditional financial service business, rece operating costs, realize the automation of financial business processing, informatization of financial enterprise management and scientific decision-making, and provide customers with faster and more convenient services, And then enhance the financial enterprise is the behavior of market competitive advantage
e-finance is a transcendence of financial electronization. Different from the electronic finance, the main technical basis of e-finance operation is the increasingly perfect Internet technology. Due to the characteristics of global connectivity, openness, quickness and low marginal cost of Internet technology, e-finance strengthens the restructuring and innovation of financial services business based on Internet technology, so that customers are free from the restrictions of business hours and places, and enjoy all kinds of high-quality and low-cost services provided by financial enterprises anytime and anywhere
with the development of Internet, the form of money is becoming more virtual, and there is an electronic money that only exists in the form of electronic signal
reference source: Network: virtual currency
virtual currency and electronic currency are not the same concept
the definition of e-money is to convert a certain amount of cash or deposit from the issuer and obtain data representing the same amount. By using some electronic methods, the data can be directly transferred to the payment object, so as to pay off the debt. E-money means that consumers pay traditional money to issuers of e-money, and issuers store legal money of equal value with traditional money in electronic devices held by consumers
electronic currency is the electronization of the legal tender, including our common bank cards, Internet banking, electronic cash, etc., as well as the third party payment developed in recent years, such as Alipay, fortune paid and so on. No matter what form these electronic currencies are and through which institutions they circulate, their original source is the legal money issued by the central bank
but virtual currency is the electronization of illegal currency, and its original issuer is not the central bank. For example, Tencent Q currency and other game currency, such virtual currency is mainly limited to circulation in a specific virtual environment. After the emergence of bitcoin, through the blockchain technology to better solve the problem of decentralization, distrust, to achieve global circulation, is sought after in the world. Electronic currency and virtual currency are collectively referred to as digital currency
bitcoin's recent offer has been less than $10000, and it has been around $14000 before. It can be said that it has fallen a lot. It can also be seen that the bitcoin stock market is still in the doldrums, but I don't think it will affect people's enthusiasm for online virtual currency as you know, bitcoin has always been used by many companies
investors generally have a good habit of gambling, they are willing to give up, and since then, the stock market of bitcoin and all kinds of network virtual currency has been good, and so far, there are still several kinds of network virtual currency rising slowly, so the collapse of bitcoin can not extinguish people's enthusiasm for network virtual currency. They will continue to buy
There is no definition and distinction between game currency and stock, derivative financial instruments, especially electronic currency. In fact, there is an internal thread that can run through these different forms of virtual currency, which is the performance maturity of personalized value. We can summarize it logically as follows:
Bank e-money
Bank e-money was initially a kind of "pseudo virtual money". It only has the form of virtual currency, such as digitization and symbolization, but it does not have the essence of virtual currency and has nothing to do with personalization. For example, it is just the counterpart of paper money; It may be issued by the central bank; It may be in the same market as the money market. However, bank e-money has broken through the extension of money, that is, it can also be issued not by the central bank, but by information service providers, as was the case with several early e-money. The second breakthrough is the liquidity of bank e-money, which far exceeds that of ordinary money. Therefore, it implies a challenge to the pricing power of currency price level. For example, in overnight lending, if the same money is turned over several times in the form of electronic money, although from the traditional monetary point of view, nothing has happened, but from the perspective of virtual money circulation speed, it has actually changed the conditions of money price level
credit information currency
stock is the most typical credit information currency. Its essence is virtual and it is a kind of virtual currency with personalized characteristics. It is the most realistic foundation of the current virtual economy. Stock market and derivative financial instrument market constitute a large-scale and unified virtual money market. They are not only based on entity business, but also supported by a wide range of information services such as trust business and insurance business. The so-called unified market refers to that the market as a whole can be exchanged with the money market at the overall level of national income. Historically, only when money forms a unified market, that is, the main body of the national economy is monetized, can the adjustment of money quantity and interest rate on the national economy be discussed. The same is true for the virtual economy. This issue is not without dispute. Although the scale of the virtual economy is several times larger than that of the real economy, a large part of the real economy has not entered the unified market. If the game currency is compared with stocks, its progress in this respect is far from satisfactory. Only through the two stages of entertainment instrialization and instrial entertainment, it is possible to reach the level of unified market
analyzing the stock market and derivative financial instrument market, the biggest difference between the stock market and the general money market is that its circulation speed cannot be directly determined by the central bank. For example, as a virtual currency, the price level of stock index can not be directly determined by the central bank like the interest rate, but by the so-called "confidence" of people. The fundamentals of the central bank and the real capital market can only indirectly determine the stock market, not directly. So I think the stock market is an information market, not a money market
compared with the mature virtual money market, the main characteristics of the stock market are incomplete. The stock market integrates the noise at all reference points (i.e. indivial gain and loss values) into a unified reference value, which is combined with the standard value (utility value on the basis and general equilibrium value) to form the continuous fluctuation of the market around the utility value. Although it is different from the money market with the central bank as the center for orderly centripetal movement, it is not different from the money market. From the point of view of the real virtual money market, the characteristic of this market is the incommensurable personalized fixed value. In this sense, the centralized stock market has not achieved this function, and the independent role of the stock market as the so-called "casino" has not been played. Thirdly,
the fundamental function of personalized credit voucher
virtual currency is to synthesize value on the spot of personality, rather than to determine a rational value in isolation at an equilibrium point separated from the real world. The significance of virtual currency is to establish a value system centered on the final consumer. After the full realization of virtual currency, the single currency with general equivalent function will tend to be backward. Game currency is the experimental field of virtual currency at a higher stage, and it is difficult to be a major task. The ideal virtual currency is the value symbol of the real world. In the general equivalent exchange, the specific use value and the corresponding subject of the specific use value, namely the non-homogeneous needs and personalized needs of people, are completely filtered out. Virtual currency will change all this, through the virtual way, people's heterogeneous needs and personalized needs will be anchored to the fundamentals by indivial reference point, and the value will be synthesized. Therefore, virtual currency must have two sides, one is to have the function of commodity exchange, the other is to have the function of barter. Through the former to overcome the relativity and subjectivity of value, through the latter to achieve personalized value confirmation. In order to achieve this goal, virtual currency must realize a huge transformation, which is to transform to dialogue system and become interactive currency. The bargaining here is aimed at the level of currency price. Recall that the transformation from text to dialogue, which has been realized for decades, is the direction of the transformation of virtual currency. The value of game currency is uncertain. When people exchange game currency, it is uncertain whether the ultimate happiness they may get is above or below the currency value until they participate in the game. The game is a dialogue process. Of course, various value-added functions of game currency have not been developed in combination with personalized information services. If this kind of value-added business is fully developed, game currency will not be used because of the different businesses providing services, which may become an advantage over stocks
a fully personalized virtual currency may be a kind of currency card with additional information, and its value is to be confirmed. Virtual currency with specific undetermined function and resial value, on the one hand, its information can have room for reinterpretation like text, on the other hand, it has the potential of karaoke like redevelopment. Its information value has an open interface and can be added again. If they are exchanged in the secondary market like the stock market, they may float up and down in the basic par value with their personalized information, and they will have more attractiveness like stocks. Game currency only has the function of value circulation, but not the function of market platform, so it is only an imperfect virtual currency. The reason is the lack of corresponding instrial base
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.
in fact, they have nothing to do with bitcoin and virtual currency.
it has the following characteristics:
first, non repayability< Second, participation< Third, profitability< Fourth, circulation< Five, price volatility and risk
the income of stock investment includes two parts:
one part is dividend or bonus income; Another part of the income comes from the price difference caused by the rise of the stock price. This definition only shows the appearance of the stock, but what is the essence of the stock? Many books are secretive. The author thinks that stock is essentially the virtual currency issued by listed companies, the intangible currency stored in the virtual financial market of stock market, and the effective tool for listed companies to finance through the financing platform of stock market. Listed companies convert all or part of their assets (such as subsidiaries) into shares, and issue them in the primary market at the price of each share, so as to raise or expand the capital required by the enterprise (actually, the so-called financing, that is, to circle money). In the primary market, the listed companies which have got the purpose of financing make use of people's expectation of the rise of the stock price in the secondary market, operate the fluctuation of the stock price, and obtain the price difference in the fluctuation of the stock price, so as to get the purpose of further earning money for a long time. When a listed company is short of money, or it is expected that there will be great risk in the secondary market, and the holding of shares is not as good as the holding of currency, or it will sell a large number of shares in an "artistic" way to exchange for cash in case of need in the future
there are at least several advantages in doing so:
first, risk aversion< Second, prepare capital for instrial economy< Third, value preservation and appreciation< Fourth, there is no need to borrow money from the bank and pay interest
therefore, it can be said that stock is the private currency of listed companies, and the stock market is equivalent to the private bank of listed companies. In this bank, the people who save money to buy stocks are the majority of investors. In addition to large domestic and foreign institutions, large investment banks, public and private funds, the investors are the majority of retail investors, especially small and medium-sized retail investors.
according to this thinking, the stock market is just "playing with money" and "all kinds of extreme sports" are fatalistic, which is more exciting.
