Virtual currency is coming out
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
Because now people are influenced by some comments on the Internet, such as bitcoin, its value has increased many times since it came into being, people think that virtual currency should be a very promising thing, so many people follow suit
if you really have a lot of spare money, you can consider investing in some stable bonds, some science and technology innovation board and stocks, but don't invest too much in virtual currency
virtual currency doesn't need to be split, and it can't be split at will. So far, no split virtual currency can exist for long. The quantity of real virtual currency is fixed, which is calculated by computer through complex algorithm, which can also be said to be mining. For example, bitcoin, Ruitai coin and Qianjin card, the only difference is the promotion mode.
but not all virtual currencies are illegal, and many of them are excellent, such as bitcoin, Ruitai coin, Laite coin and other mainstream digital cryptocurrencies.
Second, the value of money must be stable in a certain period of time, and it will not be as high as virtual currency such as BTC. The main purpose of the central bank's issuing virtual currency is to replace the current paper currency to a certain extent. That is to say, if a virtual currency assumes a fixed value of one yuan, it will be one yuan for a long time, It will not and will not be allowed that a virtual currency will rise to 100 or even more than 1000
thirdly, the most conservative estimate is that once issued, domestic enterprises or banks can choose whether to pay virtual currency or cash currency (RMB) when they pay wages or withdraw money. To a certain extent, cash will exist for a long time, instead of being issued all at once, all of them will be replaced by virtual currency, and all cash will be invalid, It's not realistic. It can only be said that it will be replaced graally
Fourth, the purpose of the central bank to issue virtual currency is to replace the current paper currency. Therefore, there must be a lot of similarities between this kind of virtual currency and the current paper currency. You can also directly replace the paper currency with the virtual currency, so you can have a good understanding of the nature of the virtual currency issued by the central bank. Therefore, the central bank's virtual currency is absolutely not allowed to appear, and the currency price is falsely high
therefore, it can be seen from the above points that the central bank's virtual currency is a new type of RMB, but it used to be physical, but now it is electronic and virtual. This is just like the use of real gold and silver in ancient times, and the appearance of "Jiaozi", that is, paper money, is only a kind of progress of the times. Other things are meaningless, just for the convenience of transaction, portability or personal property security. If you want to make money by investing in currency speculation, you can give up the idea. It's meaningless. If you just want to experience the freshness brought by the new currency, just wait quietly. Come out early, come out late, come out sooner or later. But then again, I'm looking forward to it.
(1) virtual currency based on entity
since ancient times, all "money" made of paper is called paper currency, and all countries in the world are actually paper currency. In Marx's time, paper money was only a symbol of metal money. The actual gold content of paper money was equal to the nominal gold content. When the nominal gold content was greater than the actual gold content, the price index of metal money would increase because of too many paper money. When it exceeded a certain limit, inflation would occur. Marx called these over issued bank notes without gold as guarantee virtual currency. In Keynesian era, paper money was the symbol of GDP. He defined the issue of paper money caused by making up the fiscal deficit as deficit money, and believed that the issue of paper deficit money could promote the development of proction to a certain extent, but only cause half inflation. Zhang chunjia's research in "Introction to virtual currency" also proves that paper money without precious metal and GDP guarantee will cause price rise, and this kind of money is called virtual currency
(2) virtual currency based on virtual
virtual currency is a new type of currency emerging at a certain stage of network social and economic development to meet the security and convenience needs of users. It represents the development direction of future currency existence form. It comes from the Internet, and acts as a general equivalent in the network society completely or partially. Virtual currency is a real currency with the basic attributes of currency, but it is virtual and depends on the network virtual environment. Virtual currency is born without borders, which makes it more liquid than traditional currency in the world. Virtual world corresponds to the real world. Through the exchange relationship between virtual currency and traditional currency, under certain conditions, specific virtual currency can buy physical goods, and traditional currency can also buy specific virtual goods< Second, the characteristics of virtual currency
1. Value: users get utility value by consuming the procts and services provided by operators. Virtual currency has value by providing exchange to meet the utility of consumers. The quantity of virtual currency measures the value of general goods. The issue essence of virtual currency is credit issue, which is the creditor's right of the holder to the issuer. To a certain extent, the value of this kind of claim is the right of claim
2. Virtual environment dependence. The existence of virtual currency is based on the virtual economic environment provided by the issuers and the sustainable operation of the issuers themselves. Otherwise, virtual currency has no significance.
3. Short sighted currency. As the highest price in the process of commodity exchange, the form of currency value can be regarded as the real currency. Because of the limitation of circulation scope, virtual currency can not be used as the general equivalent of all commodities; But in a certain range, it has the function of monetary value scale and circulation means. Therefore, it can be considered that virtual currency is similar to the form of money value, and it is a primary form of money, which is similar to money< The issue and circulation of virtual money is limited, but it will enlarge the money supply through the money multiplier effect, and affect the difficulty and accuracy of macroeconomic regulation and control. The issuers of virtual money need to report their circulation and circulation to the central bank, and obey the unified management of the central bank at any time
5. Virtual currency, which is issued by non-financial entities outside the financial system, aims to obtain business opportunities and competitive advantages. It is a market behavior and will inevitably lead to competition among issuers. This kind of competition will proce unfair competition behavior or obtain competitive advantage through rent-seeking, which determines the need to regulate the market behavior of the market subject according to the laws and regulations
6. Virtuality: as a kind of approximate currency, virtual currency is virtual existence if it only exists in the virtual world and can purchase the virtual property in it; If it is linked with sovereign currency, it can exist in the real world and purchase real assets, then it is a virtual thing of sovereign currency. Virtual currency is actually a series of data files existing in the computer system. It has the meaning of virtual currency only after the issuers explain the system. Therefore, the existence form of virtual currency is virtual< In general, virtual currency can purchase the procts and services provided by the issuers, and it can also be exchanged with the issuers outside the scope of issuance at a certain rate to purchase the procts of the alliance. For procts outside the alliance, virtual currency has no value significance; Similarly, when virtual currency is only authorized to buy different procts in different sales cycles, the use of virtual currency has limited application in time and scope, unlike sovereign currency, which can be completely freely exchanged
8. Separability: virtual currency has no physical form and is a digital storage information. Unlike traditional paper currency, it needs to consider the balance relationship between the circulation of main currency and subsidiary currency and the proportion of various currency values. It can be split infinitely. For example, although the total number of dark coins is only 2300, each bitcoin can be split into eight directions of ten< Although virtual currency exists in the virtual world, the process of new technological revolution has closely linked the virtual world with reality, and the virtual world has become an important part of people's spiritual life. It can promote the development of real economy, for example, a large number of entertainment application projects provide people with rich spiritual wealth and real wealth, and more and more people invest in virtual currency, which represents a trend, and the more successful ones are bitcoin, Leyte coin and the new domestic King coin; On the contrary, money laundering, gambling and network theft in the virtual world will have a negative effect on the real economy.

virtual currency is not a currency in China. In the bitcoin risk notice issued by the central bank and other five ministries and commissions on December 5, 2013, bitcoin is clearly defined as a special Internet commodity, which denies its monetary attribute and can not be used for payment, but people can buy and sell freely at their own risk. But people in the coin circle don't think so. Here is the view of the coin circle (take bitcoin as an example):
bitcoin has value because it is useful as a form of currency. Bitcoin has the mathematical characteristics of money (persistence, portability, interchangeability, scarcity, separability and identifiability) rather than relying on physical characteristics (such as gold and silver) or the trust of central authorities (such as fiat money). In short, bitcoin is backed by mathematics. With these characteristics, a form of money to have value requires trust and use. In contrast, this can be reflected in its growing base of users, businesses and start-ups. Like all currencies, the value of bitcoin comes directly from people who are willing to accept it as a means of payment, which is the only source
some people with insight of digital currency in China are also beginning to explore application scenarios other than digital currency payment. Digital currency scholar Mr. Sha Qian mentioned the concept of currency business circle and planned many application scenarios of bitcoin. Perhaps inspired by the coin business circle, the jewelry instry has developed an applied digital currency, Fuyuan coin, which is similar to the traditional business integral.
