How to pay for digital currency to merchants
ways to purchase digital currency:
at present, digital currency is more like an investment proct. Due to the lack of a strong guarantee institution to maintain its price stability, its role as a measure of value has not yet appeared, nor can it be used as a means of payment. As an investment proct, the development of digital currency is inseparable from trading platforms, operating companies and investors
trading platforms play the role of trading agents, while some play the role of market makers. The profits of these trading platforms come from the current expenses and premium income of investors trading or holding digital currency
1. Investors need to register accounts first, and obtain digital currency accounts and US dollar or other foreign exchange accounts at the same time
2. Users can use the money in their cash account to buy and sell digital currency, just like buying and selling stocks and futures
3. The trading platform will sort the buying and selling requests according to the rules and start matching. If the requirements are met, the transaction will be completed
4. Due to the difference between the trading volume submitted by users, the trading request can be partially executed
take RBM operated by professional operation company opencoin as an example: ripple protocol was originally designed based on payment method, and its design idea was based on acquaintance relationship network and trust chain. Using ripple network for remittance or loan, the premise is that the payee and the payer must be friends or have common friends. Otherwise, the trust chain between users and other users cannot be established, and the transmission cannot be carried out
extended information:
the characteristics of digital currency are as follows:
1, low transaction cost
compared with traditional bank transfer, remittance and other methods, digital currency transaction does not need to pay fees to the third party, and its transaction cost is lower, especially compared with the cross-border payment of high handling charges to payment service providers
2, fast transaction speed
the blockchain technology used in digital currency has the characteristics of decentralization, and it does not need any centralized organization similar to the clearing center to process data, so the transaction processing speed is faster
3, high anonymity
in addition to the physical form of currency can achieve peer-to-peer transactions without intermediary participation, one of the advantages of digital currency compared with other electronic payment methods is that it supports remote peer-to-peer payment, and it does not need any trusted third party as intermediary
both sides of the transaction can complete the transaction in a completely strange situation without mutual trust, so they have higher anonymity and can protect the privacy of the traders, but at the same time, they also create convenience for cyber crime, which is easy to be used by money laundering and other criminal activities
digital currency is a kind of legal tender, which must be issued by the central bank. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digital currency, which is not a network virtual currency, because it is not limited to virtual space, but is often used for real goods and services transactions, such as bitcoin, Wright coin, bitstock, etc. at present, there are thousands of digital currencies issued around the world
in daily use, what are the differences between digital currency and bank transfer payment? According to instry analysis, the digital currency launched by the central bank is a national sovereign currency, which is based on the digital currency of RMB. This is a piece of data generated by a complex algorithm, which contains blockchain and encryption technology, making it unique. The payment of Alipay and WeChat is not digital money, but only based on the payment realized by electronic accounts. Compared with the current pattern of "payment transfer collection" with the help of third-party payment, what digital currency needs to achieve is "decentralization", that is, to cancel the transfer link and directly hand over the money from the payer's account to the payee, so as to rece the payment cost in currency circulation
according to the introction, digital currency has the main characteristics of network packets. This kind of data package 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 package comes from and goes. That means every penny is traceable. The "trace" and "traceability" of digital currency can improve the convenience and transparency of economic transactions, and will curb money laundering, tax evasion and other criminal activities. At the same time, with the application of blockchain technology, a national or even global unified account book will be established, so that every sum of money can be traced. Tax evasion and money laundering will be within the scope of supervision, and it is even possible to realize automatic tax dection on the card machine
according to the introction, from the perspective of ordinary consumers, everyone may have two "wallets" in the future. In reality, the money in the wallet is used for emergency payment, while the wallet in the mobile phone can be directly used for consumption and payment without the "second hand" of third-party payment, so as to realize point-to-point payment and effectively rece costs, In theory, it will also change the existing payment system with banks as the main channel
even with digital currency, paper money will not end. There is a long process to launch digital currency, which can not replace paper currency immediately. Digital currency is only a change of form, and the scale of currency issuance is still controlled by the central bank, so the purchasing power of paper money will not be affected in the short term.
with the continuous development and progress of society, great changes have taken place in our lifestyle, such as mobile payment and online shopping, which have brought great convenience to our life. Since the birth of online shopping, online payment has become a part of our life
online shopping is convenient, but it is also through the middle of a "invisible" process of payment, such as we bought something on the Internet, first pick out what you love, then you have to pay the problem:
now most people use Alipay is the way of payment, then first Alipay will receive payment request. Then it initiates the protocol to the network, saves the information to the database, and forwards the request to the bank. When the Alipay account shows that the dection is successful, it will have to be connected to the bank through the Internet. Then the buyer will confirm receipt after receiving the goods, so that the buyer will dect the money before transferring to the seller's account. Not only is the transaction process too cumbersome and complex, it is clear that the transaction between the two parties has to go through a series of links. More importantly, once the intermediate payment link collapses, the whole transaction will stop, and the subsequent operation is really troublesome
in fact, the popular explanation is that when I want to buy something, I give the money to the middleman and ask him to help the seller. If the middleman makes any mistakes, it may lead to the situation that the money can not be recovered and the goods can not be obtained
is there any way to simplify the transaction process and improve the transaction efficiency? Yes, the current hot blockchain technology and digital currency payment can better solve the above problems:
blockchain has become one of the hot topics in the past two years. Blockchain can replace the existence of these third-party services:
first, blockchain can not be tampered with. Every transaction will be distributed to each block for record keeping, Then use cryptography to verify, any malicious damage or record deletion will be found, so the whole process of shopping will be seen. Blockchain strengthens the trust, traceability and transparency in the transaction, making our transaction faster and more convenient<
the second is the unique payment characteristics of digital currency:
the decentralization of digital currency can eliminate the intervention of the third party, and there is no need to worry about the problems of the third party, resulting in the whole transaction payment process can not continue
the point-to-point transmission of digital currency saves the time link in the whole payment process and realizes fast payment, so that both parties can receive money quickly and save time
openness and transparency of digital currency: except for cash transactions, all transactions based on online payment are just a series of numbers, and all transactions of digital currency are open and transparent. You can check the transaction records of all payments, which can ensure the security of the overall commodity payment
and like China's booming WeChat, Alipay and other payment platforms, cross-border payment has been realized, but there is a problem that fees will be more expensive than domestic payments, and the settlement cycle will be longer than domestic. In general, efficiency will be slow, time is long, and hand renewal is expensive. Digital money will make traditional transactions "no longer traditional". That will also make cross-border payment more efficient: digital currency is not subject to the "constraints" of any country or bank. Based on blockchain technology, it can just bypass this centralized system with low handling charges, and its point-to-point transmission transaction characteristics can effectively improve the current problems of long-time and high cost of cross-border payment
the times have been developing, and the way of life is constantly improving. Online shopping and payment are born from our development, with both advantages and disadvantages. Then we will try our best to push everything in a better direction
digital currency is on the rise. Although the current digital currency is not perfect, many countries have begun to use digital currency as a payment method. Due to the various characteristics of digital currency, bitcoin, Ethernet, Las Y2, QTP (wechat ID: yingbivc), ASEC and other digital currencies are being actively used. They can not only simplify the traditional online payment transaction process, but also circulate payment around the world and rece exchange rate issues such as handling charges. Don't just look at digital currency with one eye. Maybe in the near future, it will open the era of digital currency full payment!
