Digital currency development policy
In the morning of March 9, 2014 Beijing time, Jared Cohen, creative director of Google, said at the Sxsw conference this week that digital cryptocurrency similar to bitcoin will exist for a long time. Cohen and Eric Schmidt, Google's chairman, promoted their co-author book the new digital age at the conference
in the past few months, bitcoin prices have fluctuated significantly. At the same time, this digital currency is strongly supported by the hacker community and is closely related to some black markets. Cohen believes that bitcoin has its value, but it will bring risks if it is not regulated
mt.gox lost $400 million worth of bitcoin, which shakes the confidence of the outside world in bitcoin. Some critics even point out that "bitcoin is dead". However, Cohen's statement is a strong support for cryptocurrency technologies such as bitcoin
bitcoin can exist only because both sides of the transaction recognize its transaction value, so anyone can independently design a virtual currency. Ars technica, for example, announced this week that it would create its own cryptocurrency, arscoin
Cohen believes that the main threat to digital cryptocurrency is how to keep it safely, and the loss of mt.gox bitcoin once again highlights this problem. Recently, the US Congress has also launched a debate on digital cryptocurrency. Some members believe that the supervision of the bitcoin should be strengthened to avoid risks. Another congressman, Jared polis, believes that the US dollar has similar defects to bitcoin, so if bitcoin is banned, then the US dollar note should also be banned
digital currency has a short history in the world, but it develops rapidly. Many countries are trying to sum up experiences and lessons through official or non-governmental efforts
take Europe as an example. In 2015, the transaction volume of digital currency in relevant European countries and regions exceeded 1 billion euro. Although the total amount is not large, it is fierce
it was reported on January 2, 2016 that the Bank of England is also considering whether to issue digital currency by the central bank, and the research work is still in the initial stage. Andy Haldane, chief economist of the Bank of England, said that switching to digital currency would be "a great technological leap forward"
DNB, Norway's largest bank, has already cancelled the cash counter service. The bank called on the government to stop using paper money completely. According to the data, only 6% of Norwegians still use cash every day, most of them the elderly. The social cost of cash payment is twice that of electronic money payment. In one day's life, the payment of bus, shopping, payment, refueling, and even parking is completed by swiping the card. Only when the children's school holds a charity sale can the banknotes be used
compared with paper money, digital currency has obvious advantages, which can not only save the cost of issuance and circulation, but also improve the efficiency of transaction or investment, and enhance the convenience and transparency of economic transaction activities. The issue of digital currency by the central bank also ensures the continuity of financial policy and the integrity of monetary policy, and also ensures the security of monetary transactions
although the issuing method of digital currency is still under study, paper currency has been regarded as "the currency of the previous generation" by some professionals, and it is the general trend to be replaced by new technologies and procts. Due to China's large population and volume, the timetable for issuing digital currency is still uncertain. It is predicted that digital currency and cash will be in parallel and graally replaced for quite a long time. When the era of digital currency really comes, people will carry less and less cash, travel more and more safe, poverty alleviation more and more accurate, corruption more and more difficult to escape, and thieves more and more difficult
the Central Bank of China held a seminar on digital currency at the beginning of this year, and the issue of digital currency by the central bank has been put on the agenda. Some international banking giants and technology companies are also developing digital currency, and the Bank of England also plans to issue digital currency. All this means that digital currency is getting closer to our real life. However, the digital currency issued by the government may be in circulation in the future, but bitcoin, Ruitai currency and vitality currency can only exist as an asset class.
first, to maintain the continuity of monetary policy, not to release water, not to shrink abruptly
Second, it will not change the fact that bitcoin is not legally recognized
thirdly, strengthen supervision, pay attention to safety and maintain stable and neutral development
Fourth, to serve the development of the real economy
considering the consistent policy of the Chinese government on digital currency, maintaining stability and continuity should be the current orientation and trend< In addition, although Yi Gang pointed out at the Boao Forum for Asia that he would take a strict attitude towards digital currency, it does not mean that he will stop studying digital currency. At present, the central bank is studying how digital currency can serve the real economy in a better form, develop safely in the best form and avoid possible negative effects, Let digital currency serve the economy better
in spite of stricter supervision, it is still believed that the central bank will adopt a combination of easing and blocking measures for the development of digital currency in the future.
In fact, we all know that in many cases, the development of the Internet may be more and more important, and more and more people are more dependent on the Internet, and will continue to improve the function and role of the Internet, and constantly improve the status of the Internet, so that the Internet can play an important role in the process of national economic development
in fact, more and more countries will pay more attention to digital currency, and also think that there will be only one currency that should be developed to a certain extent, and more and more countries are constantly developing and improving their technology. Why has promoting the research and development of digital currency become an important policy option for all countries? I think there are three main reasons:
first, digital currency itself is very important
in fact, I think the reason why countries want to promote the research and development of digital currency is that playing digital currency itself is also very important. Because digital currency is also more convenient, it can make digital currency play a greater role in daily life, is a kind of welfare for the people, and also can make people have a more convenient life. Therefore, all countries should promote this research and development{ RRRRR}
that's my opinion. Do you have any ideas? Welcome to leave a message in the comments area
It is an inevitable trend for legal tender to develop into legal digital tender. In the long history of currency development, China, as the earliest ancient civilization in the world, according to the literature and relevant archaeological findings, the currency has been used for more than 5000 years, and the alternate development of its currency in various dynasties is very representative. For example, before the early Shang Dynasty, our ancestors took the lead in using shells as an equivalent trade, which greatly facilitated people's daily life; From the early Shang Dynasty to the early Song Dynasty, with the development of commodity exchange, there was an increasing demand for money. Seashells could not meet people's demand, so various shapes of copper coins began to appear; Since the late Northern Song Dynasty, e to the shortage of copper materials, paper money has been invented creatively. Nowadays, the development from traditional banks to E-banks has injected action into the development of China's low-carbon cashless society and created a good social environment for the development of legal currency to digital currency
non legal digital currency challenges legal sovereign currency. In 2009, Nakamoto created the world's first point-to-point decentralized digital currency, which was initially used as a gray commodity trading currency in the dark network (black market) within nine years. It has obtained legal status in the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Western Asia, Europe and other countries and regions. At its peak, bitcoin's total market value was close to $10000. Because bitcoin and other digital currencies have the characteristics of global transaction, point-to-point, anonymity, legalization of some countries and other factors, the state can not implement supervision and prohibition, resulting in a large number of capital flight and illegal transfer of assets, increasingly affecting the national financial stability, and posing challenges to the national currency, foreign exchange and other financial systems. At the same time, bitcoin and other digital currencies are increasingly challenging the security of the financial system of illegal countries, which also leads to bitcoin facing more severe financial regulatory policies and technical barriers in these countries
