Which currency level does virtual currency belong to

1.

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

2. Virtual currency and e-currency are coincident and have no subordinate relationship
virtual currency refers to non real currency. Well known virtual currencies, such as online currency of Internet company, QQ currency of Tencent company, q-point and voucher of Shanda company, micro currency launched by Sina (used for micro games, Sina reading, etc.), chivalrous Yuanbao (used for chivalrous road game), grain silver (used for bixue Qingtian game), and popular digital currencies in 2013, such as bitcoin, Laite currency, Fuyuan currency, etc. At present, hundreds of digital currencies are issued all over the world. Popular in the circle & quot; The legend of "bitkin, Wright silver"
electronic money refers to the exchange of a certain amount of cash or deposit from the issuer and the acquisition of 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.

3. Virtual currency refers to the currency that does not exist in reality and exists in a virtual state, such as bitcoin, lightcoin, Ethereum and so on; Token refers to the form of money that can be used as a monetary function and can be used to purchase goods
virtual currency can be used for shopping transactions in certain situations, such as in some places abroad; At this time, it counts as a token and plays the role of currency
but token, such as the shopping card voucher printed by the company itself, can be used for the internal consumption of the company. To some extent, it is equivalent to token; However, it is not a virtual currency
that is to say, virtual currency may be token; But token is not necessarily a virtual currency.

4. Virtual currency does not belong to the fund. It is a kind of investment at the same level and has a parallel relationship
real estate, stocks, funds and virtual currency are all investment procts.

5. Virtual currency is not a fund, it is a new technology, represents a kind of encrypted digital assets, interested friends can pay attention to me, bring mutual communication, I have a group.

6. This question actually leads to a topic worthy of discussion: how do we see the "use" of the existing digital currency? Or how do we divide our understanding of digital currency

this division of cognition not only helps us understand digital currency, but also guides our behavior in the process of investment. So I'm going to analyze this topic in two or three articles
from the perspective of cognition, I divide all digital currencies into the following three categories:

the first category is that their value and consensus have been strongly recognized, almost indisputable, and have been transmitted from within the circle to outside the circle. This kind of currency is the least in the whole field of digital currency
this kind of currency typically includes bitcoin and Taiwan dollar. Bitcoin is recognized as "digital gold" and has repeatedly shown the characteristics of "sea calming needle" when the external political and economic environment is unstable; The profit model of platform currency is clear, especially the top three platform currencies have solid cash flow and income relying on the exchange
when talking about this kind of currency, both their consensus and value are highly recognized in the instry, and ordinary people can understand it outside the instry
when we talk about bitcoin with ordinary people, as long as we tell them that gold goes up, bitcoin goes up; When talking about platform currency with ordinary people, just tell them that platform currency is equivalent to the stock of securities companies, and they will immediately understand what we are talking about
although some people outside the instry do not agree with some consensus (for example, some people still do not agree with the value of bitcoin), this does not prevent ordinary people from understanding what we are talking about
the second type is that consensus has been reached, but the actual use value is still being proved, or the so-called "use value" can not show us the actual effect for the time being. This kind of currency is slightly more than the first kind, but also very few in the whole field of digital currency
this kind of currency typically includes Ethereum, EOS and cross chain projects in the field of smart contract

take Ethereum and EOS for example, they are highly expected by the instry. We hope to see that their smart contract function can proce killer applications and bring higher efficiency and lower cost to our daily life
in the past two years, Ethereum has developed a highly concerned defi Ecology (defi, decentralized finance, often referred to as distributed finance or decentralized Finance) in the instry
however, does this ecology have a direct relationship with the life of ordinary people or bring direct benefits? In fact, it does not exist at all. It is still a "niche ecology" in a small circle, far away from our daily life
the ecosystem developed by EOS in the past two years is far from the areas where we expect to bring value into play, and even there are not many people in the instry who pay attention to it
the concept of cross chain project is very novel when it first came out, and it is also considered by the instry to have great potential demand. But after a period of discussion, some people began to question whether this demand really exists
the instry has a consensus, or even a high consensus, on these currencies, but their current value is not satisfactory. Therefore, even if they are recognized by the instry, it is difficult for this consensus to be transmitted outside the instry, not to mention that ordinary people can understand these consensus and values
so we can't talk with ordinary people about what "defi" and "cross chain" are and what's the use

the third category is the currency whose consensus is still in the process of forming. The design objectives and scenarios of this kind of currency may not be understood or recognized by the instry, or even there are great differences in understanding. Their value is even more difficult to judge. This kind of currency accounts for the vast majority of the current market.

7. The monetary level refers to that when the central banks of various countries determine the statistical caliber of money supply, they take the liquidity of financial assets as the standard, and divide the monetary level according to the characteristics and needs of their own policy purposes. Its rough classification is: M0: cash flow; M1: M0 + various current deposits; M2: M1 + various time deposits. The division of monetary levels is concive to the central bank's macroeconomic operation monitoring and monetary policy operation
China's monetary level is divided into three levels:
1. M0 = cash in circulation
2. M1 = M0 + current deposit of enterprise unit + rural deposit + partial deposit of institutions and groups
3. M2 = M1 + fixed deposit of enterprise unit + self raised capital construction deposit + personal savings deposit + other deposits
among them, should M1 add credit card deposit, Whether short-term credit instruments such as foreign currency deposits and bank acceptance bills should be listed in m2 or m3 separately needs further study
