Central bank digital currency favors bitcoin
however, this move has aroused people's concern about bitcoin, and they even think that digital RMB will replace bitcoin
the central bank's digital currency represents the digitization of RMB cash. More reflected in improving the efficiency of domestic small high-frequency transactions, thus playing a role in replacing RMB cash, thus consolidating China's monetary sovereignty
however, bitcoin is a currency based on blockchain technology, which has a limit on the total amount of issuance and cannot be over issued
last time I talked about this with people from Yingfu University of Finance and economics. Because there is a fundamental difference between digital personal name coin and bitcoin, it will not bring much impact on the price trend of bitcoin.
the natural nature of bitcoin is decentralized, but the Central Bank of digital currency must abide by the centralized management model. Compared with bitcoin, the central bank's digital currency has a higher "currency" value, and the price of bitcoin fluctuates greatly. the central bank's digital currency ensures the payment function in daily life, and has remained relatively stable since 2014. Since the beginning of the year, the central bank has been actively engaged in the research and development of digital currency, including the active application of relevant patents
starting from the issue of digital currency, the central bank uses a two-level operating system, which first converts digital currency into banks or other operating institutions, and then to the public. Mu Changchun said the al transmission system is suitable for China's national conditions. We can not only use the existing resources to mobilize the enthusiasm of commercial banks, but also improve the acceptance of digital currency without any problem
To guard against the possible risks brought by bitcoin, we know that digital currency represented by bitcoin has high risks. This kind of risk is mainly reflected in two aspects: first, the limitation of digital currency makes it used as investment goods, and the price is extremely unstable. Those who do not understand the principle of digital currency and pay too much attention to speculation are easy to suffer losses for various reasons
Secondly, national digital currency is linked to its own legal currency to a certain extent, so it effectively avoids the price volatility of bitcoin. Because the CBDC issued by our country is guaranteed by the credit of the central bank, it must be a stable currency. In today's international situation, the research and development of digital currency in China is of great significance. The introction of digital currency is not an expedient measure, it has become the development direction of China's future currencyFrom the stable currency issued by banks, to the stable currency issued by Internet companies, to the present stable currency, all these mean that the future digital legal currency will come to people's vision and officially enter the stage of history, which will be initiated by central banks. Similar to the current public chains with different architectures, the digital currency of central banks will also use different technologies suitable for their national conditions. The digital currency of the central bank will explode in a certain period of time, which will make global trade more convenient, asset transfer will be extremely fast, and even drive the further development and innovation of traditional instries< but will bitcoin, the originator of digital currency, be replaced by central bank digital currency? Here mainly from the following aspects of analysis
3. Payment function and there will be certain restrictions on the payment function of the central bank's digital currency. If the comprehensive liberalization policy is implemented, it means that the exchange of legal currencies between countries is less regulated, so it may also cause large-scale capital loss, Therefore, the payment function of the central bank's digital currency may only be limited to specific regions and countries and cannot be spread out at will, which will also have an impact on its function
because bitcoin is a free digital currency, there are no restrictions on its use. Anyone can use bitcoin for value storage , which also facilitates more people who need money exchange. However, e to the high degree of freedom of bitcoin, the exchange rate between bitcoin and legal currency has certain volatility, As a result, the behavior of currency speculation also occurs. In different periods, legal currency and digital currency have different exchange rates. Therefore, bitcoin can only be used as a payment type digital currency in the short term, and can only be used as an investment proct in the long term. The two attributes of investment and payment are opposite to each other, This will continue for a long time to come
