Is virtual currency a general equivalent

1. D
if we do not include the electronic currency of the banking system, the network virtual currency can be roughly divided into
the first category is the familiar game currency. In the era of stand-alone games, the protagonist accumulates money by knocking down the enemy, entering the gambling house to win money, and using these to buy Herbs and equipment, but it can only be used in his own game console. At that time, there was no "market" between players. Since the establishment of Internet portal and community, the realization of game networking, virtual currency has a "financial market", players can trade game currency
the second type is the special currency issued by the portal website or instant messaging service provider, which is used to purchase the services in the website. The most widely used is Tencent's q-coin, which can be used to purchase membership, QQ show and other value-added services.

2. Money appears with the constant change of the form of commodity exchange value. At the end of the primitive society, when people had surplus procts, they had to exchange between different tribes. For example, if a tribe had surplus sheep, it was necessary to exchange them with others. By chance, a man with a rabbit also exchanged them. When two people met, one sheep exchanged for five rabbits. It can be seen here that the value of one sheep is represented by five rabbits. This sheep is now represented by five rabbits, which is an initial form of value expression. With the progress of society and the emergence of surplus procts, this kind of transaction is more and more frequent. Finally, people recognized silver and gold as the material to measure the value of all commodities, so money came into being

it can be seen that money itself is a kind of commodity, but this kind of commodity has a special function. It can be exchanged with any other commodity and acts as a general equivalent.

3. General equivalent
general equivalent is a kind of commodity which is separated from commodity and serves as the unified value expression material of all other commodities. Its appearance is the inevitable result of the development of commodity proction and exchange. Historically, the general equivalent was undertaken by some special commodities. With the progress of society, gold and silver have become the most suitable currencies to perform the function of general equivalent. Money is a special commodity separated from commodities and fixed as a general equivalent

overview
the emergence of general equivalents is e to the lack of unified equivalents in the form of expanded value, which can not meet the increasing needs of exchange, so the functions of equivalents graally spontaneously stabilize on a certain commodity, resulting in the emergence of general equivalents. The general equivalent is a socially recognized equivalent form. Its natural form has become the common value form of all commodities. It can be directly exchanged with all other commodities. All other commodities regard it as the embodiment of abstract human labor and have relations with it. Only when all other commodities are first transformed into general equivalents, the private labor expended on them can be recognized by the society and become direct social labor. Only in this way can they actually have exchange value and can they be exchanged for other commodities at any time. Therefore, the general equivalent becomes the medium of commodity exchange and plays the role of currency. However, it is not money. Only when the function of general equivalent is stable on precious metals, can it develop into money[ 1]
