benefits of digital currency
the digitalization of central bank's currency helps to optimize the central bank's monetary payment function, improve the central bank's monetary status and the effectiveness of monetary policy. The central bank's digital currency can become an interest bearing asset to meet the holder's reserve demand for safe assets, and can also become the lower limit of bank deposit interest rate. It can also become a new monetary policy tool
at the same time, the central bank can affect the bank deposit and loan interest rate by adjusting the digital currency interest rate of the central bank, and help to break the zero interest rate lower limit
more than three years ago, the people's Bank of China started to organize a seminar on digital currency, and then set up the digital currency Research Institute of the central bank. The latest action is to jointly organize distributed R & D with the instry and cooperate with the market
the name of R & D used by the central bank is DCEP, which is actually electronic payment. What is paid is digital, not paper money. Digital money also has monetary attributes. The study of digital currency is not to realize the application of a certain technical solution, but to pursue the convenience and low cost of retail payment system, as well as security and privacy protection

To guard against the possible risks brought by bitcoin, we know that digital currency represented by bitcoin has high risks. This kind of risk is mainly reflected in two aspects: first, the limitation of digital currency makes it used as investment goods, and the price is extremely unstable. Those who do not understand the principle of digital currency and pay too much attention to speculation are easy to suffer losses for various reasons
Secondly, national digital currency is linked to its own legal currency to a certain extent, so it effectively avoids the price volatility of bitcoin. Because the CBDC issued by our country is guaranteed by the credit of the central bank, it must be a stable currency. In today's international situation, the research and development of digital currency in China is of great significance. The introction of digital currency is not an expedient measure, it has become the development direction of China's future currencyThe central bank has recently been planning to launch & lt; Digital currency & quot; Now, some people think that since digital currency is going to be launched, does it mean that paper money will be replaced? In fact, paper money still has a place
01. The introction of digital currency conforms to the development trend of the times< p> in daily life, the use of cash is less and less , many of us now go out without cash, and there are more and more payment software. At the beginning, a treasure and a letter occupied half of the country, but now many people also start to use other payment software, and are no longer limited to these two kindswhen I used to go out, I used to go out with a certain treasure and a certain letter, but now I have a UnionPay. Every time I buy something, I can get a little discount. So, as long as conditions permit, I usually use UnionPay to pay. As an old saying goes, & lt; A little makes a lot;, Although each free amount is not much, but can not bear the large number of ah, in school, our school also has this payment software activities, a top ten, equivalent to white whoring a bowl of rice at noon, how good, so, UnionPay now in my heart also occupies a big position
summary:
it is impossible for digital currency to completely replace paper money, because many people still need paper money. I don't want my own capital flow to be clearly controlled by others in the future, and I need some private space
the central bank's version of digital currency will first be applied to the bill market. The central bank's version of digital currency is different from the traditional digital currency. The central bank's version of digital currency has monetary attributes.
