Digital currency launched on June 16

1. As early as 2014, the people's Bank of China has set up a special research group to study the central bank's digital currency. Until today, the central bank's digital currency has a real sense of landing. China may become the first economy to issue sovereign digital currency, and 2020 is expected to be the first year of global central bank digital currency

the DCEP issued by the central bank is a digital currency, which is very similar to Alipay and WeChat payment. But it is different from Alipay and WeChat, because it is more like paper money, and the third party can not get the information from both sides of the transaction. It is anonymous and centralization, and the endorsement of the state can be assured.

what is the use of central bank digital currency

from the perspective of the central bank, if the central bank wants to put in funds, it doesn't need these scientific and technological means to trigger conditions, and it could have done it

for users, they have one more option when paying. Users only need to download the central bank's digital currency wallet app, and then associate with their existing bank accounts to exchange the previous banknotes into the corresponding digital currency

for the current mobile payment, users are still accustomed to using Alipay and WeChat to pay. But how to say? Personally, Alipay was originally a professional payment software, but after all these years of development, the Alipay interface is extremely complex, and the user experience is not very friendly.
as for wechat payment, wechat started from social networking at first, and has evolved from professional social software to comprehensive software in recent years. To put it plainly, whether it is Alipay or WeChat, it seems that it has deviated from its original intention. This may bring opportunities to the central bank's digital currency

when will central bank digital currency become popular

according to the bank, considering that the early digital RMB is only limited to the pilot, it will not be issued in large quantities and promoted comprehensively in the short term, and the speed of currency circulation will also maintain a normal level

many people say that digital money has no effect on Alipay. I beg to differ. As Ma Yun said, sometimes it's just a document that beats you. What is the impact of the central bank's digital currency on Alipay? Let's wait and see.

3. bitcoin, of course, is the hottest one. In addition to bitcoin, there are also:
1. Litecoin is similar to bitcoin, which is also an encrypted digital currency, and its price has risen sharply recently. It is a P2P open source digital currency, which can be regarded as a branch of bitcoin. However, although lightcoin is based on bitcoin protocol, it does not require very high computing power. It can also be mined using ordinary computers. Lightcoin's algorithm comes from the algorithm designed by Dr Colin Percival for tarsnap secure online backup service (backup for Linux and other open source operating systems)
2. Namecoin
namecoin is also based on bitcoin, which is another branch of open source. Namecoin is a distributed DNS protocol -- generally speaking, it can transform the website name (such as ifeng. Com) that can be understood by human into the address that can be understood by machine. As its own DNS, this kind of currency can operate outside the normal Internet, so it can break away from the control of ICANN
the monetary value and domain name of namecoin are stored in the user's blockchain records, limiting the total number to 21 million
3. Peercoin
peercoin is a peer-to-peer variant of bitcoin, which can improve mining efficiency and security, and improve safeguard measures to avoid group mining. Now, group mining has been considered as a potential defect of bitcoin. According to the statistics of emerging currencies by coinmarketcap.com, peercoin currently ranks fourth in the market value of digital currencies
4. Primecoin
primecoin is a cryptocurrency similar to bitcoin, but it uses a completely independent mining algorithm. Bitcoin uses the hashcash algorithm, while prime coin uses the long Cunningham chains to create the value of money - a sequence of prime numbers named after mathematician AJC Cunningham
in the process of bitcoin mining, as the amount of money goes on, the difficulty will increase sharply. But prime is different. Every time a primecoin is mined, the mining difficulty will increase slightly, and the process is much more stable< 5. Feathercoin

based on the design of litecoin, released in April 2013, can adjust the mining difficulty more frequently than litecoin. Feathercoin will be updated frequently, adding new features and improvements to eliminate malicious mining behavior

6. Novacoin

another P2P digital cryptocurrency. Novacoin is different from most other currencies in that it integrates a protection mechanism in the currency core, which can identify illegal mining activities

the total number of novacoin is limited to 2 billion, which is considerable. If necessary, the total can be adjusted upward

7, infinitech

published in June 2013. A by-proct of litecain. According to the mining situation and the total amount of money, infinite money can frequently adjust the mining difficulty ratio< Megacoin was only released in the fourth quarter of 2013, imitating bitcoin in the early stage. The total number of megacoin is limited to 42 million, which can be mined like other virtual currencies. Its biggest selling point is brand publicity, which other digital currencies lack< It was released in 2013 and is still in its infancy. In the security part of quarkcoin, nine independent loops are deployed and six different algorithms are used.

4. The currency has rebounded and raised again. I like this kind of digital currency very much, but I can't find a good platform all the time?

5. This week, Antony Lewis, director of R3 research and head of cash and CBDC strategy, said at the decision conference at the Walkerhill Hotel in South Korea that a central bank issued digital currency (CBDC) is expected to go online this year
all members of the group on "instrial evolution through distributed ledgers" hope that CBDC will be set up for specific financial institutions. BT110

is not online yet, but it can be put into use immediately after it is online. The digital currency of CCB a few days ago is actually a test. However, some people say that this warm-up is likely that the digital currency will be issued and used immediately. what is the use of digital currency? Is it the same as WeChat Alipay? In this regard, Wang Jian, chief analyst of Guoxin Securities financial instry, believes that the number of Renminbi and banknotes and coins are RMB cash. Alipay, WeChat payment and so on are just a payment tool. Through these two channels, the balance of personal bank card is still used, or the credit card is being brushed, and the digital Renminbi payment is used. What we spend directly is digital RMB, just like cash

However, I would like to say that although the digital RMB itself is very safe and the central bank's digital currency should also carry out anti money laundering and anti terrorist financing, we should also prevent it from being used for online gambling and any cyber criminal activities
