The essence of legal digital currency

1.

digital currency is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency (which can be used for real goods and services transactions)

digital currency has the main characteristics of network packets. This kind of data packet is composed of data code and identification code. The data code is the content we need to transmit, while the identification code indicates where the data packet comes from and goes

based on the characteristics of digital currency, the direct benefit of digital currency to the central bank is not only to save the cost of note issuance, circulation and settlement, but also to enhance the central bank's ability to control funds

Electronic money and virtual money are called digital money. According to the definition of the European Central Bank, virtual money is issued by non central banks, credit institutions and e-money institutions, which can be used as the numerical expression of the value of currency substitutes in some cases

extended information:

the process of digital currency trading through the platform is as follows:

(1) investors should register accounts first, and obtain digital currency accounts and US dollar or other foreign exchange accounts at the same time

(3) the trading platform will sort the buying requests and selling requests according to the rules and start to match them. If they meet the requirements, the transaction will be concluded

2. Digital currency is a kind of legal encrypted digital currency, which is not only a payment tool but also a currency. It is essentially different from Alipay and WeChat payment. Alipay, WeChat payment and mobile phone banks are all electronic money, not digital money. These are all payment methods based on electronic accounts, which are in essence just a process of informatization of legal currency, not digital currency in a strict sense
moreover, it is totally different from q-coin and bitcoin. Commonly known as q-coin and bitcoin, these belong to virtual currency. Compared with digital currency, the most fundamental difference lies in the difference of issuers

virtual currency is the electronization of illegal currency. The issuer is not the central bank, and it can only circulate in a specific virtual environment, such as Tencent Q coin and other game coins; Digital currency can be used for real goods and services transactions, but only the digital currency issued by the state is legal digital currency, bitcoin is illegal digital currency

3. In essence, there is no difference. The success of a coin does not mean that it is valuable, it only means that the hype means of its issuing team have worked, or it happens to meet the hype conditions needed by the current market, that's all.

4. Credit endorsement by the state has the function of value anchoring and credit creation, which will have a substantial effect on the economy. Legal digital currency, like paper money, is essentially pure credit currency. However, digital currency can further rece operating costs, and can be applied in a wider range of areas with higher efficiency
"the emergence of digital currency follows the inevitable law of currency evolution, and is also the inevitable result of the development of science and technology. From the perspective of historical process, the carrier of currency has evolved from shellfish and precious metals to paper money, and then to the popular third-party payment electronic currency in modern society
in essence, they are pursuing the convenience and low cost of transaction, and this trend continues to develop, and the manifestation in the future society is digital currency. The first thing to solve is the technical barriers, although today's blockchain is regarded as the Internet of the 1990s, and its future is limitless. But it is not mature enough to support the huge payment system. At the same time, the issuance of legal digital currency will greatly increase the number of point-to-point transactions, bypass the original regulatory system to a certain extent, and easily facilitate illegal transactions. As digital currency makes it very convenient to convert deposits into cash, financial panic and financial risk will accelerate the spread once they occur, which increases the difficulty of supervision. In addition, in the process of using legal digital currency, a large number of user data and transaction information will be obtained. How to store and manage these data to prevent the disclosure and illegal use of user information is also an important challenge.
