1.
At present, there are mainly two regulations about virtual currency in China. In 2013, many ministries and commissions issued the notice on prevention of bitcoin risk, giving important tips on bitcoin risk. On September 4, 2017, the central bank and other seven ministries and commissions jointly announced again that the first token issue was an unauthorized illegal financing
According to Zhao, there are various ways to launder money by using digital currency. For example, technical means may be used to transfer funds into the cryptocurrency system, and then deploy various transfer addresses, making it difficult to query its transaction path. In other words, money laundering promoted by technological progress is more and more difficult to be detected and prevented. In addition, it has cross regional characteristics, and the lack of global response mechanism exacerbates this situation2. If virtual currency and traditional currency can be exchanged freely, it will inevitably impact the traditional economy. Including but not limited to money laundering, monetary policy implementation and regulation.
3. Many people have said that the following is the view of central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan:
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.

4. If there is no way to transfer virtual currency into legal currency, no matter how it is issued, there is no real harm
however, once it is legally linked with fiat money, it means that fiat money has the obligation to convert virtual money into fiat money. This is very dangerous
because there is no limit to the issuance of virtual currency, once there is a legal link, it is equivalent to the unlimited issuance of legal currency
although QQ coin seems to have the function of currency and can buy a lot of things on QQ, in the final analysis, it is all virtual things, and its essence is commodity.

5. There are two sides to everything. To come up with something new and to have an impact and impact on old things, there must be its unique advantages. The choice of market freedom is like the birth of Alipay. If there are not some things to be done, banks may be closed. Of course, the benefits and harms are inseparable and relative, so we need to comprehensively measure them. From the overall macro perspective, whether the harm to our Chinese nation is greater than the benefit or the advantage is greater than the disadvantage, we need not worry about this. The country has a powerful think tank to make suggestions, Just follow the pace of the party and the state.
6. Now mining time input cost is very high, and mining machine input cost is also very high. If you are a novice, it is recommended that you first use legal currency to exchange from the exchange. It is relatively simple, and the okex platform is recommended for security. Your adoption is the driving force of my answer.
7. Hello friend, digital currency is not recommended
8. In my opinion, many people today will lay an impermeable thing under the bottom of the fish pond. I don't know what it is. It looks like canvas or plastic cloth. We can learn from it.
9. In economics, money is a kind of contract, which represents the exchange of ownership and the transfer of value. Contract is the most basic function of money in economics
e-money is a digital form of money. In addition to the contract function, it can be recorded at the same time of transaction. This sum is money and e-money in the sense of economics. Bitcoin not only has the above characteristics, but also creates a new model
first of all, bitcoin is decentralized payment, performing Contractual functions
the second is the bookkeeping function under the condition of decentralization. It can also be divided into two parts. First, record all transactions of bitcoin and form a ledger according to the time sequence. Second, the ledger is saved in each computing node using bitcoin, and the nodes jointly maintain order and information
generally speaking, the two impacts bitcoin brings to traditional currencies are: one is decentralization, which may lead to the transfer of seigniorage; the other is the unique bookkeeping function proposed by bitcoin, which subverts the existing M0 and M2 monetary theories, especially the unique bookkeeping function behind.
