digital currency can be considered as a virtual currency based on node network and digital encryption algorithm. The core characteristics of digital currency are mainly reflected in three aspects:
1. Due to some open algorithms, digital currency has no issuing subject, so no one or organization can control its issuing
Because the number of algorithm solutions is determined, the total amount of digital currency is fixed, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of inflation caused by the overuse of virtual currency3. Because the transaction process needs the approval of each node in the network, the transaction process of digital currency is safe enough
Digital currency is abbreviated as digiccy, which is the abbreviation of "digital currency" in English. It is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digiccy
digital currency is an unregulated and digital currency, which is usually issued and managed by developers and accepted and used by members of a specific virtual community.

Since its establishment in 2004, Alipay has always regarded "trust" as the core of procts and services. It has two independent brands: "Alipay" and "Alipay wallet".

digital money is getting closer and closer. Many people will wonder whether digital money will completely replace cash or completely replace WeChat and Alipay mobile payment? What are the differences between digital money and WeChat or Alipay payment? The following is an analysis
digital money and WeChat Alipay payment. Although they all belong to mobile payment, the two payment methods are very similar. P>
WeChat or Alipay payment
WeChat Alipay payment has become the most commonly used payment. We just take out the mobile phone and open the WeChat or Alipay scan payment code, so that we can do business and shop without cash at all. P>
, but WeChat or Alipay payment is based on the premise that the mobile phone must have signals, but also have the premise of the network. Similar to the current p>
, although there are many ways to pay, similar to some elderly people, or cheap mountain areas, WeChat and Alipay temporarily use difficulties, or need to use cash to achieve a transaction. p>
but after the digital currency comes out, these difficulties can be solved. The elderly and remote mountainous areas can also use digital currency, so they can say goodbye to cash
comprehensive analysis shows that digital money is an upgraded version of WeChat and Alipay mobile payment. Since it is an upgraded version, and it is issued by the central bank, it naturally has its own advantages. WeChat and Alipay do not have these advantages. As long as there are differences between the advantages and disadvantages, there is definitely a difference between the two. The above three points are the biggest difference between them. p>
The digital currency DC / EP issued by the central bank on a pilot basis is the abbreviation of "digital currency" and "electronic payment". In fact, it is the digital version of RMB
the functions and properties of this kind of currency are exactly the same as paper money, but its form is digital. The main function of digital currency DC / EP is to replace M0 (cash in circulation, i.e. banknotes and coins){ RRRRR}
and DC / EP does not need to be bound to a bank account and can be used directly as cash. Of course, DC / EP also needs an "online wallet" to store. It is not known whether the wallet is a separate app or integrated into a third-party payment platform
although mobile payment is already very convenient, you may have encountered such a scenario, because there is no network to complete the payment, and using cash will not have such a problem. As a digital currency, DC / EP can also complete the payment without network
In recent years, the rise of financial technology drives the digital and intelligent development of finance, and the form of money is also evolving. Recently, the news of digital currency has attracted people's attention, and there is still a lot of gap with the current online payment
Alipay WeChat and so on are called electronic payment of money. When you trade, the amount in it is corresponding to the real banknote, but the transaction time saves the transfer process between the real banknotes.
the main difference between the two is that one has money and the other has no money
