What does China's digital currency blockchain use
nowadays, the mainstream digital currencies are basically developed based on blockchain technology. Blockchain is the underlying technology of digital currency. The domestic tea based digital currency Puyin is developed based on blockchain technology.
taking bitcoin as an example, it does not have an entity form, but exists in a special account book. All bitcoin transactions are recorded in the ledger. Through the transaction records, we can calculate the number of bitcoins owned by each user. If a person owns bitcoin, it means that he can find the relevant transaction records in the ledger
the ledger mentioned here is a software that we can download from bitcoin's official website, and the underlying technology used in this software is blockchain. In order to facilitate understanding, we usually say that blockchain is the ledger
the reason why blockchain is used as the underlying technology of ledger is to realize the feature of digital currency decentralization. It can be said that the starting point of a series of problems and solutions of digital currency comes from decentralization
2. Blockchain is a technology to ensure the safe use of digital currency. As we all know, blockchain technology has the characteristics of encryption and non tampering, which can rece the probability of errors in the use of digital currency to 0. Because digital currency requires higher encryption, it must be supported by blockchain technology. At present, not only many instries in China are using blockchain technology, but also many foreign countries are actively using blockchain technology.

in fact, digital currency is a kind of indexed RMB, a legal encrypted digital currency and an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Digital currency can be divided into two types: non cryptocurrency (e-gold, XRP) and cryptocurrency (bitcoin)
it can not be completely equivalent to the virtual currency in the virtual world, because it is often used for real goods and services transactions, not limited to online games and other virtual spaces. It is different from Alipay and WeChat, and Alipay, WeChat payment and mobile phone banks are all electronic money, not digital money. The popular digital currencies in 2016 include bitcoin, lightcoin, bitstock, etc. At present, there are thousands of digital currencies issued all over the world
virtual currency refers to the non real currency, especially the currency in the network virtual economy. The issuer is not the central bank, and it can only circulate in a specific virtual environment. In the case of the connection between virtual and reality, virtual currency has its real value. Well known virtual currencies, such as online currency of Internet company, q-coin of Tencent company, q-point, roll counting of Shanda company, u-coin meter ticket launched by Sina (used for igome game), chivalrous Yuanbao (used for chivalrous road game), and grain silver (used for bixue Qingtian game). Digital currency can be used for real goods and services transactions, but only the digital currency issued by the state is legal digital currency. For example, bitcoin is illegal digital currency
