The typical unit of measurement for this currency is the Troy gram or troy ounces, although sometimes the golden Dinar is used.

future trend
in November 2016, the central bank prepared digital currency, and it is likely that cash will not exist in ten years
in November 2016, China digital currency Research Institute was established to cultivate high-level talents of digital currency, carry out digital currency research, consultation, development planning and related activities. It is a non-profit unit with legal license approved by relevant ministries and commissions, and is committed to promoting the integrated development of scientific research and practice of digital currency instry
up to now, Hangzhou, Shenzhen and Guizhou have become three hot areas for the central bank's digital currency pilot. It is reported that Hangzhou is actively promoting the planning and construction of Qiantang River financial harbor, including the blockchain instry. Hangzhou will build the first blockchain Instrial Park in China, which is located in the Internet Finance town of Xihu District, surrounded by ant financial services, e-commerce bank, Zhejiang University and its science and Technology Park and other well-known enterprises and parks
in February 2020, digital currency was selected by MIT Technology Review as one of the top ten breakthrough technologies in the world in 2020
bitcoin, a blockchain based digital currency, is often regarded as a global safe haven asset like gold. In this age of global turmoil, even gold has become unreliable and may be confiscated as India has. Some people have begun to think that bitcoin can replace gold, because bitcoin not only has the reserve capacity of gold, but also has some capabilities that gold does not have, such as low handling charges, rapid transfer capacity, decentralization and so on. With the increasing popularity of bitcoin and the decreasing volatility, the status of gold has been threatened
will bitcoin shake the status of gold?
gold has a long history, almost as long as the history of human civilization, and has withstood numerous tests in history. Bitcoin is less than a decade old, but its value has risen sharply. There is no support behind bitcoin. Of course, since the end of the gold standard, there has been no support from other currencies, except that there is no support from the central bank behind bitcoin. It's hard to predict whether bitcoin will exist in the next decade, a hundred years or even a thousand years.
the concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's idea, open source software was designed and released, and P2P network was built on it. Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system. Unlike most currencies, bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions to issue. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses cryptography design to ensure the security of all aspects of money circulation. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction. The design based on cryptography can make bitcoin only be transferred or paid by the real owner. This also ensures the anonymity of money ownership and circulation transactions. The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total amount of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to 21 million
from the two concepts, the main differences are as follows: gold is a physical object and a general equivalent; Bitcoin is a virtual currency, which is easy to be manipulated, and its value has a certain degree of hype.
Generally, the excellent digital currencies are mostly imported procts, such as bitcoin, Leyte coin, ether coin and so on. However, the domestic Yuanbao coin, Ruitai coin, bitcoin and the tokens of different crowdfunding projects of European crowdfunding are excellent digital currencies
