The summit of virtual currency
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

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

the premise for virtual currency to replace real currency is the comprehensive popularization of global network, that is, even a person with nothing has to have something that can be connected to support the exchange of virtual currency, followed by national or international recognition that it is valuable, and finally the mature popularization of virtual reality and other technologies
as long as VR or AR technology can be popularized all over the world and an irreplaceable resource can be found in VR or AR, it should be feasible to use this resource as currency, unless a country / region has no contact with VR or AR technology at all
Bitcoin can be said to be the ancestor of virtual currency. It was launched in 2009. At that time, the value of bitcoin was very low. One dollar could buy more than 1300 bitcoins. At that time, a programmer in the United States exchanged 1000 bitcoins for two pizzas, which is often ridiculed by everyone. A lot of people are saying that if his bitcoin had been preserved until now, he would have been a billionaire. But who knew that bitcoin would be so valuable in modern times? At that time, few people knew about bitcoin, so there was no hype. At that time, bitcoin had no economic purpose. It was just used to exchange game equipment
now the world uses a lot of electricity to dig bitcoin every year, because the cost of electricity is very high, and the market value of bitcoin is volatile, so the benefits obtained by digging bitcoin are very small
bitcoin is a consensus network, contributing to a new payment system and a fully digital currency. It is the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network, which is controlled by its users without a central management organization or middleman. From the user's point of view, bitcoin is much like Internet cash. Bitcoin can also be regarded as the most outstanding three style bookkeeping system. From this point of view, the potential of bitcoin is unlimited, enough to subvert the current financial instry
in China, bitcoin is defined as a special Internet commodity by the central bank, and people can buy and sell it freely at their own risk. Most of the major countries in the world have adopted a cold treatment attitude towards the special currency, which is neither negative nor positive and ambiguous. Germany is the friendliest of bitcoin. Last August, Germany defined bitcoin as a private unit of account (private currency). Australia, the United States, Canada and other countries regard bitcoin as an asset that needs to be taxed. Of course, the attitude of each state and department in the United States is also different. Sometimes, the attitude of the same department and state is also contradictory.
