Virtual currency Xiaobai
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

advantages
complete decentralization, without issuing institutions, it is impossible to manipulate the number of issues. Its distribution and circulation are realized through open-source P2P algorithm
anonymity, tax exemption and supervision free
robustness. Bitcoin is completely dependent on P2P network and has no distribution center, so it cannot be shut down externally. Bitcoin price may fluctuate and collapse, and many governments may declare it illegal, but bitcoin and its huge P2P network will not disappear
cross border. Cross border remittance will go through layers of exchange control agencies, and the transaction records will be recorded by many parties. But if you trade with bitcoin, enter the digital address directly, click the mouse and wait for the P2P network to confirm the transaction, a lot of money will pass. It does not go through any regulatory agencies and will not leave any cross-border transaction records
it is difficult for the cat to survive. Because bitcoin algorithm is completely open source, anyone can download the source code, modify some parameters, recompile, and create a new P2P currency. But these counterfeit currencies are fragile and vulnerable to 51% attacks. Any indivial or organization, as long as it controls 51% of the computing power of a P2P currency network, can manipulate transactions and currency value at will, which will be a devastating blow to P2P currency. Many Shanzhai coins die in this link. The bitcoin network is robust enough. If you want to control 51% of the computing power of the bitcoin network, the number of CPUs / GPUs required will be astronomical.
If you know a little bit about technology, you can see "master bitcoin" by Andreas M. antonopoulos, a well-known classic. The author is a famous bitcoin bull, active in overseas social platforms. Other books can selectively read blockchain revolution and so on, but these books seem to have no real feeling, so it's better to start and experience them. We can not rigidly divide the regular software of the currency circle into the following categories:
-
digital currency exchange. Don't resist direct contact with exchanges. Digital currencies basically support minimal segmentation. That is to say, you can hold bitcoin for 10 yuan or 100 yuan. The general functions of the exchange include currency trading (digital currency trading, digital currency, usually "stable currency" as intermediate currency), and French currency transactions (buying or selling digital currency directly in French currency), usually in the same sense with OTC or "OTC" in the country, supporting Alipay. Wechat payment, bank card payment and other payment methods) and some high-risk derivatives transactions, including contract transaction and leverage transaction, are not recommended by novices. The operation process is also very simple. Register an exchange account, buy stable currency or other digital currency with RMB, and then trade currency. You can get the price difference by buying low and selling high, which is the basic operation of playing spot. The exchange's choice is nothing more than coin an, fire coin, coin easy, okex and bitfinex
-
digital currency wallet. At present, there are a lot of funds calling themselves digital currency wallets in the market, so the risk is very high. So it's better to pay attention to the top wallets with international reputation, and the risk of others stepping on thunder is very high. The purpose of the wallet is very simple, that is to store your digital currency. Because digital currency can only exist in the address of digital currency network, if you don't need to trade digital currency, you can use your wallet to "hoard currency", and then transfer to the exchange account for real-time trading when the currency price rises in the future. Why not store digital currency directly in the exchange? This is because most exchanges adopt centralized management, and your assets will gather in a few wallets of the exchange to meet the demand of capital flow. This kind of wallet with a huge stock has a high risk of being targeted by hackers, so hoarding party will generally choose a personal wallet with a high safety factor to improve the security of their assets
the first kind is the big guy who pretends to be confused. They boast about the greatness of virtual currency, in fact, just to sell their own coins, and then make their wealth more and more. This is the same reason that Mimeng's articles incite emotions. It's just to let people read more of her articles to sell advertisements. As for whether it is true or not, who cares
the second kind of people is the media outside the circle. In fact, they don't know anything. The purpose of their blowing together is to bring traffic. It's all for sale. It's just different. They follow together to brag, will have more traffic attention, advertising can be more valuable. If the business is not good, change the vest and continue. That's what we media and finance are doing now. True or false is not so important, the important thing is to bring them income, which is enough
the third kind of person is the leek of coin circle. In fact, they don't have the ability to think independently. They are superstitious in aura. They watch the big guys and the media blow, and then they really believe in it. They also blow,,,, and then they are the ones who take over. It is commonly known as "no brain blowing, no brain blowing". It lacks the ability of independent thinking, and does not carefully analyze things. It is respect to blow first and respect to blow first. Blind, therefore, only then dish's life.
but there is no problem, so it can not be determined
few investors and poor liquidity; Lack of supervision and serious manipulation.
at present, the largest digital currency trading platform in the world is okex. You can go to the current market first
moreover, okex also has its own okb, which has the potential of appreciation.
