Should virtual currency exist
The essential value of any kind of currency is that it can be used as the value scale to measure other things and has stability. The virtual currency here is not game currency, but a digital cryptocurrency like bitcoin. The bottom layer uses blockchain technology, which has the characteristics of decentralization, information tampering and anonymity. At present, cryptocurrency headed by bitcoin can not bear the property of currency. It is not fair to conclude that there is no value
a consensus has been reached in the currency circle by default, that is, bitcoin is similar to diamonds in the real world. The value of diamonds is given by businessmen, and it has been agreed that diamonds can symbolize love and have practical properties. Mining diamonds and gold also need to consume a lot of costs, but it is because a lot of costs are consumed that the constant intrinsic value of diamonds and gold can be ensured. The resources that can be obtained casually are prone to inflation< br />
The fall in 2018 makes investors return to rationality, which is actually concive to the standardized development of the currency circle. Now, regardless of the practical value of digital currency, this capital harvest makes investors further understand the importance of risk management. Money circle and Internet Finance allow investors to see that they are profitable, so they don't have to think about investing in it. It is ultimately their own loss. Whether this bear market can make investors understand the essence of money circle is still unknown. However, the future development of the coin circle still needs government regulation, as well as the regular operation of platforms and projects. Of course, only with the support of capital can the coin circle develop healthily and systematically. Therefore, capital outflow is the biggest reason for bitcoin's sharp decline.
It is difficult to avoid the typical risks related to the payment system. In a specific virtual community, virtual currency payment activities have evolved into a "real" payment system, facing the typical risks related to the payment system: credit risk, liquidity risk, operational risk and legal risk. The nature, scale and ration of these risks largely depend on the design of the system or the degree of lack of liquidity. It is difficult for the network virtual currency scheme to avoid or control these risks. According to the core principles of important payment system (CP) issued by the bank for International Settlements (BIS), the network virtual currency scheme does not conform to most of the contents of CP, and does not belong to the systemically important payment system. Therefore, it will not cause or transmit shocks to the global financial system. At present, there is no systematic risk in the network currency system outside these virtual communities
2. Lack of corresponding supervision and protection mechanism
in the real economy, the central bank plays the role of lender of last resort and there is no default risk, so it can take actions in the case of payment crisis or unpredictable liquidity shortage to avoid chain reaction. In the network virtual currency scheme, network currency is not the settlement asset. Because network currency simply depends on the credibility of the issuer, it can not be widely accepted as a means of payment, so network currency can not be regarded as a safe currency. In addition, commercial banks are required to accept prudential supervision, which reces the possibility of default. The security of money in commercial bank accounts is higher than that of network currency. A fundamental risk of network currency is that the settlement institution of network currency scheme is not subject to any supervision, no institution is responsible for its behavior, and there is no investor / depositor protection mechanism, which causes the user to bear all the risks
(4) risk of absence of supervision generally speaking, supervision lags behind the development of science and technology. The network virtual currency program was established in the late 1990s, but it was not until 2006 that some government agencies in the United States began to analyze these programs. Due to the lack of supervision and the anonymity, invisibility and difficulty in tracking of its transactions, the network virtual currency scheme is easily used by terrorist activities, fraud, money laundering and other illegal activities. At present, many government departments in many countries are considering whether to recognize or legalize these virtual schemes and bring them into the scope of supervision, so as to support the innovation of currency and payment forms, protect consumers' rights and interests and financial stability, and restrain the use of virtual currency schemes to engage in criminal activities. At present, the uncertainty of the legal status of the virtual currency scheme may also bring challenges to the government authorities
The reputation of Monetary Authority (central bank) is the key factor to determine the effectiveness of its policies, especially monetary policy. The public's trust in fiat money is closely related to the image of the central bank, which pays close attention to its reputation. The ECB will define reputation risk as the risk of deterioration of reputation, credit or public image. As the network currency scheme is related to money and payment, it is generally believed that it belongs to the responsibility of the central bank, so it is necessary to guard against the reputation risk it may bring to the central bank. Although in the case of small scale, the impact of the failure of the network currency scheme is limited, its high volatility and instability also increase the possibility of failure and attract extensive media coverage. If the network currency is allowed to develop continuously without regulation, the central bank may be regarded as dereliction of ty and affect its reputation Compared with the exchange value, the public has a higher recognition of the investment value of network virtual currency, and it is the transaction based on investment that accelerates the formation of virtual currency market. Like other investment markets, the participants of virtual money market will also face the potential losses caused by market risk, credit risk and policy risk. Take the bitcoin as an example: from 2009 to the beginning of 2010, bitcoin was worthless; In the summer of 2010, bitcoin trading began to enter the golden age. Because the supply was far less than the demand, the value of online trading began to rise. In early November, bitcoin was silent at 29 cents for many days, and then jumped to 36 cents; In February 2011, the bitcoin continued to appreciate, and its exchange rate with the US dollar reached 1:1; In 2013, the bitcoin price achieved a "Big Bang" growth, and hit US $1242 on November 29, 2013, exceeding the gold price of US $1241.98/oz in the same period. Fierce price fluctuations make market participants face huge speculative risksunlike mature capital markets such as stocks and bonds, bitcoin market is not deep enough, and it is mainly held in the hands of large investors with low degree of diversification. Bitcoin price is easily affected by large investors' trading behavior and controlled by speculators. At the same time, different countries have different attitudes towards bitcoin. Germany, the United States and other countries hold an open and supportive attitude. Thailand, Brazil and other countries regard bitcoin related activities as illegal. Every country's attitude and measures will have a significant impact on its price, especially in the short term

with the continuous progress of technology, electronic payment (including electronic money) is changing people's payment habits, but also changing people's consumption habits, promoting the expansion of consumer credit. It is necessary to pay close attention to the innovation of the form, the evolution of the nature, the difference of the operation mode and the possible impact on the credit risk and moral hazard of this new thing, and properly supervise it. But the more important thing is to give the market main body corresponding development space, avoid strangling the development vitality of the corresponding business organization in the early stage of market development. Therefore, the best way to treat e-money is to observe its changes and strengthen research. In the face of such remarks as "q-coin impacts the RMB financial market", we need to discuss them in the context of scientific and technological progress. The key to understand the problem is how to design relevant policies and encourage the development of electronic payment instruments such as electronic money, rather than the harm of speculative virtual money and electronic money. We call for strengthening supervision

No. Virtual currency with good operation and investment will survive for a long time and will not go bankrupt in a few months, such as bitcoin and internet currency of Internet companies

With the development of society, there are many new things, such as virtual currency. In the era of virtual currency, should bitcoin become a legal currency? I don't think so. On the one hand, bitcoin doesn't have a national background, and on the other hand, bitcoin doesn't have real powerful people to protect it. Therefore, bitcoin is dangerous and easy to lead to bankruptcy. Let's talk about it in detail{ RRR} 3. If bitcoin becomes a legal currency, there will be huge financial risks
if bitcoin becomes a legal currency, first of all, bitcoin is a virtual asset with high and low value, which can easily lead to bankruptcy of some people. If there is a huge difference in value, for example, the original value of several thousand yuan is worth only a few yuan now, which will lead to huge financial risks and even financial crisis, So bitcoin can never be a legal currency
in a word, although virtual currency is quite popular, bitcoin should not become legal currency, because on the one hand, bitcoin is only a virtual currency and has no real value. It is easy to lead to bankruptcy of many people and huge financial risks
