advantages of digital currency:
1. Save cost and improve efficiency
in the traditional electronic payment process, funds are stored in the third-party platform. The third-party platform deposits funds through the time difference of payment to obtain short-term interest income, which makes customers and businesses suffer losses, and the transaction process has two capital transfers, which makes the transaction process rendant. Electronic payment based on blockchain technology eliminates the third-party platform and realizes peer-to-peer payment (P2P), which simplifies the payment process and reces the payment cost
2. Optimize the traditional payment function
digital currency can inherit the advantages of cash payment (point-to-point payment, instant payment and settlement, convenient and fast), and solve the defects of cash at the same time. In this condition, controllable anonymity can be realized at the same time. That is to say, compared with traditional mobile payment, digital signature is used to effectively protect the personal information of each participant, so as to prevent the loss, leakage or malicious tampering of the user's personal information
3. Control the whole life cycle of currency and control the return of currency
The economist Stiglitz studies the macroeconomic management of e-money system, and points out that the electronization and digitalization of money will help to improve the ability of central bank to monitor money flow and organize market, and improve the effectiveness of monetary policy. More importantly, legal digital currency will create a new price based monetary policy tool, which can break the zero interest rate lower limit and release monetary policy space Digital currency does not rely on physical outlets and labor services, and has low cost of infrastructure and human resources. It can obtain a larger service capacity with less material and human input, which is concive to the expansion of financial services in remote and poor areas. Moreover, financial services based on digital currency have the characteristics of small amount and convenience, such as "massive transactions, small and micro single amount", which create conditions for the general public to facilitate life and increase employmentShenzhen issued 10 million red envelopes of digital currency, which means that currency digitization will be further developed
In fact, for digital currency, the central bank started to make preparations as early as 2014. By 2019, it has been further promoted to the national strategic level, and this year's promotion speed has been significantly accelerated. In fact, this year, major countries around the world have made significant progress in digital currency. In particular, the G7 has decided to cooperate on the issue of central bank digital currency. In fact, the promotion of digital currency plays an important role in the internationalization of RMB. At the same time, digital currency is also the basis of internal and external circulation, especially in the domestic circulation. Digital currency can rece costs and improve efficiency for social management, promote the development of digital economy and big data, and promote the innovation of digital payment instry. In the external circulation, digital currency may become an important means of payment in international trade, and is concive to the formation of a new international trade pattern. From this point of view, digital currency has played a crucial role in the nationalization of RMB. Now Shenzhen is the first pilot of digital currency, which has laid a solid foundation for the promotion of digital currency to the whole country, and this is also the preparation for the internationalization of RMBin a word, Shenzhen issued 10 million red envelopes of digital currency to further promote digital currency
it will be more convenient to pay with digital currency, and it will be more secure for the central bank recently, the Shenzhen municipal government and the Central Bank jointly launched a pilot activity of digital currency.

After winning, they can download the digital currency app and bind it with their mobile phone numbers, It's ready to use. The use scenario is 3389 merchants in Luohu District. Just like mobile payment, you can scan the code directly. Moreover, the design of the digital currency is similar to that of the banknote, with the national emblem and the style of the people's Bank of China on the front
some economists also said that the advantage of digital currency is that its transactions and transfers all have zero cost. For example, some mobile payments, withdrawals and transfers may need some handling charges, but if it is a digital currency, there is no concept of handling charges. With the digitalization of currency, all transactions have zero cost, It is a good thing for enterprises and users
