Zhou Xiaochuan pointed out that as legal tender, digital currency must be issued by the central bank. The issue, circulation and transaction of digital currency should follow the idea of integration of traditional currency and digital currency, and implement the same principle of management. That is to say, q-coin and the like are definitely not good
as for whether to use blockchain technology to create digital currency. Zhou Xiaochuan said that the blockchain technology is an optional technology, but so far, the blockchain still occupies too many resources. Whether it is computing resources or storage resources, it can't cope with the current transaction scale, and whether it can be solved in the future depends on it. Zhou Xiaochuan said that in addition to blockchain technology, the digital currency research team of the people's Bank of China has also concted in-depth research on other related technologies involved in digital currency, such as mobile payment, trusted and controllable cloud computing, cryptographic algorithm, security chip, etc
it is certain that the digital currency issued by the central bank can never be the same as bitcoin, Ruitai, Qianjin card and other digital currencies. The digital currency issued by the central bank is just the digital currency.
The digital currency of the central bank is DCEP
the name of the digital currency developed by the central bank is DCEP (digital currency electronic payment). DC is digital currency. EP is electronic payment. Payment transmits digital things through a certain way, not paper currency. Therefore, electronic payment itself has the attribute of digital currency
The characteristics of digital currency are: low transaction cost; Fast trading speed; Highly anonymous

cross border payment helps RMB internationalization. In 2015, the settlement volume of cross-border payment involving current account is about 8 trillion yuan. To accelerate the internationalization of RMB, cross-border payment and settlement procts and solutions with low cost, high efficiency and low risk are needed
At present, there are still a lot of repetitive human work in the bank's electronic loan process and processing process, and as the basic support of loan issuance, many of the collateral has the situation of false pricing or multiple or even no collateral. We can consider using digital currency to price and track bank collateral:3. Bill finance and supply chain finance
in recent years, various bill market businesses based on commercial bills have grown rapidly, and bill financing procts have become a hot area of Internet financing. However, about 70% of the current bill businesses in China are still paper transactions, Supply chain finance is also highly dependent on labor costs

benefits of digital currency
the digitalization of central bank's currency helps to optimize the central bank's monetary payment function, improve the central bank's monetary status and the effectiveness of monetary policy. The central bank's digital currency can become an interest bearing asset to meet the holder's reserve demand for safe assets, and can also become the lower limit of bank deposit interest rate. It can also become a new monetary policy tool
at the same time, the central bank can affect the bank deposit and loan interest rate by adjusting the digital currency interest rate of the central bank, and help to break the zero interest rate lower limit

absolutely impossible
you can imagine this picture: payday is coming, your cold wallet has received 0.05 bitcoin, according to the bitcoin 60000 US dollars, you have earned 3000 US dollars this month, a total of 20100 RMB! You are very happy, just as you are going to have a big meal to reward yourself, bitcoin suddenly plummeted from $60000 to $50000, and it is still falling!! Your 0.05 bitcoin is still so much, but your income instantly reced to 16250, nearly 4000 yuan evaporated, not only that, but also the amount continued to decline with the naked eye!! At this time, I'm afraid no one would like to invite you to a big meal. Instead, I nervously took out my mobile phone and quickly sold bitcoin! When the transaction is completed and RMB 16000 is paid to your account, you will finally relax...
so why is bitcoin easy to store money and transfer assets? This is determined by its design principle. Professional knowledge is too complex. In short, bitcoin is a code city that can't be broken by hackers. All users involved in bitcoin trading in this city can't trace their real information through any technical means. Therefore, bitcoin has become a pure land of assets that governments can't control. In this city, your private property will always be yours, No one wants to take it away. If you forget your password, it will be miserable, because you don't want to take back your own bitcoin. It will be stored in this city forever. Therefore, the extreme security and secrecy of bitcoin make it easy for private property to completely get rid of the control of sovereign states, so it is reasonable for governments to study regulatory methods, because bitcoin is the most powerful in history, which can fight against the country's enemies economically
