The impact of digital currency on traditional currency
At present, there are mainly two regulations about virtual currency in China. In 2013, many ministries and commissions issued the notice on prevention of bitcoin risk, giving important tips on bitcoin risk. On September 4, 2017, the central bank and other seven ministries and commissions jointly announced again that the first token issue was an unauthorized illegal financing
According to Zhao, there are various ways to launder money by using digital currency. For example, technical means may be used to transfer funds into the cryptocurrency system, and then deploy various transfer addresses, making it difficult to query its transaction path. In other words, money laundering promoted by technological progress is more and more difficult to be detected and prevented. In addition, it has cross regional characteristics, and the lack of global response mechanism exacerbates this situationeven if it's live broadcasting, it's no problem. Live broadcasting is mainly about processor and memory. You can satisfy it, but you need to ensure the network speed
Digital currency is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the blockchain technology it relies on has been decentralized and can be used in other fields besides digital currency , which is one of the reasons why bitcoin is popular; On the other hand, if digital currency is widely used by the public as a kind of currency, it will have a huge impact on the effectiveness of monetary policy, financial infrastructure, financial market, financial stability and so on. Specific Wu Xiaoxia:
1. Impact on monetary policy
if digital currency is widely accepted and can play the role of currency, it will weaken the effectiveness of monetary policy and bring difficulties to policy-making
because digital currency issuers are usually unregulated third parties, money is created outside the banking system, and the amount of circulation depends entirely on the wishes of the issuers, which will lead to the instability of money supply. In addition, the authorities are unable to monitor the issuance and circulation of digital currency, which will lead to the inability to accurately judge the economic operation and bring trouble to policy-making, At the same time, it will weaken the effectiveness of policy transmission and implementation
2. Impact on financial infrastructure. The use of distributed ledgers also poses challenges to trading, clearing and settlement, as it promotes the disintermediation of traditional service providers in different markets and infrastructures. These changes may have potential impacts on market infrastructure other than retail payment systems, such as large payment systems, securities settlement systems or trading databases
3. The impact on financial intermediation and financial market in a broad sense. As a financial intermediary, banks perform the ties of acting supervisors and supervise borrowers on behalf of depositors
generally, banks also carry out liquidity and maturity conversion business to realize the financing from depositors to borrowers. If digital currency and distributed ledger are widely used, any subsequent disintermediation may have an impact on savings or credit evaluation mechanisms
4. The impact of security risks and financial stability
assuming that digital currency is recognized by the public, its use increases significantly and replaces legal currency to a certain extent, negative events such as network attacks on user terminals related to digital currency will lead to currency fluctuations, which will have an impact on the financial order and the real economy
in addition, the virtual currency based on blockchain technology is usually held by a few people at the beginning. For example, the first purchase of bitcoin in May 2010 was $25 pizza purchased by 10000 BTC, and the price of each bitcoin rose to $1200 in more than three years by the end of 2013

with the improvement of social proctivity, the demand and quantity of social commodity exchange are growing, and the form of money has developed from shells, precious metals, ordinary metals to paper money and bills to today's e-money. The development of information technology with computer technology as the core has caused great changes in people's proction and lifestyle, and also promoted the development of money form. The booming e-commerce has developed a variety of means and tools of electronic payment. People call it electronic money, while others call it electronic currency, digital cash, digital currency, electronic cash, etc. The so-called "electronic currency" covers a wide range, such as credit card, savings card, debit card, IC card, consumption card, telephone card, gas card, electronic check, electronic wallet, network currency, smart card, etc., and almost all the electronic payment tools and methods related to capital
e-money is developed on the basis of traditional money, and has a lot in common with traditional money in nature, function and function. For example, the essence of e-money and traditional money is a special commodity which acts as a general equivalent. This special commodity is reflected in a certain social proction relationship. At the same time, they have five functions: value scale, circulation means, payment means, storage means and world currency. They reflect the value of commodities, mediate the exchange of commodities and regulate the circulation of commodities
compared with traditional money, e-money has different backgrounds, such as social background, economic conditions and technological level; Its manifestations are as follows: electronic money is transmitted and displayed by electronic pulse instead of paper, which is processed and stored by microcomputer without the size, weight and imprint of traditional money; Electronic money can only circulate in the field of transfer, and the circulation speed is much faster than that of traditional money; Traditional currency can be used in any area, while electronic currency can only be used in credit card market; The traditional currency is issued by the state and circulates compulsorily, while the electronic currency is issued by the bank. Its use can only be guided by propaganda, not forced orders. In addition, in use, legal currency should be used to reflect and realize the value of commodities, and settle the creditor's rights and debts between commodity procers; The influence of e-money on society is wider and deeper< Second, the application of e-money; It is widely used in the fields of proction, exchange, distribution and consumption; It integrates savings, credit and non cash settlement; At present, the use of e-money is usually based on bank card, so it is also called non denomination money. Because of the above characteristics, e-money is easy to use, safe, fast and reliable, and has many functions: saving function, using e-money to deposit and withdraw money; using e-money to withdraw money; Transfer settlement function, direct consumption settlement, instead of cash transfer; Cash function, when using currency in other places, exchange currency; The function of consumer loan is to borrow money from banks and use money in advance under certain conditions
credit card payment is the most commonly used tool in electronic payment. With the development of technology, the card base of credit card has developed from magnetic stripe card to more secure and reliable smart card, which can read and write a large amount of data. People call it electronic credit card, electronic wallet and e-card. Electronic wallet can also be said to be an electronic payment tool based on WWW browser or combined with WWW browser. It can display how much money users still have on their smart cards, and transfer funds among multiple electronic wallet in the case of mutual recognition. Some electronic wallet can also carry out wireless data communication, making electronic payment more vital
e-check is another common electronic payment tool in Internet banking. To change the traditional check into an electronic message with digital signature, or to use other digital messages instead of all the information of the traditional check, is the electronic check. Electronic check draws on the advantages of paper check transfer payment and transfers money from one account to another by digital transfer. Electronic check is the most efficient means of payment because of its low transaction cost and its ability to provide standardized fund information for merchants participating in e-commerce
in addition to the above e-credit cards and e-checks, there are also e-cash, e-change, secure change, online currency, digital currency, etc. The common characteristics of these payment tools are paperless, electronic and digital cash or currency, which is concive to the transmission, payment and settlement in the network, the use of Internet banking, and the realization of electronic payment and online payment
since the 1970s, check and cash payment methods have graally transferred their dominant position to bank card. In this process, the "cash flow" in the payment process has changed into "bill flow". With the deepening of the application of computer network technology in the bank, the bank has been able to use the computer application system to further transform the above "cash flow" and "bill flow" into "data flow" in the computer. In the bank computer network system, funds are transferred and transferred in a way invisible to human eyes, which is a modern payment method launched by the banking instry. This kind of fund, which is stored in computer in the form of electronic data and can be used through computer network, is more and more widely used in e-commerce
in e-commerce, the bank is the link between proction enterprises, commercial enterprises and consumers, and plays a crucial role. Whether the bank can effectively realize e-payment has become the key to the success of e-commerce. Taking a simple online transaction process as an example, firstly, the buyer sends a shopping request to the seller; The seller sends the buyer's payment instruction to the seller's acquiring bank through the payment gateway; The acquiring bank obtains the authorization from the issuing bank through the bank card network, and sends the authorization information back to the seller through the payment gateway; After obtaining the authorization, the Seller shall send the buyer the shopping completion information. If payment acquisition and payment authorization cannot be completed at the same time, the seller should send payment acquisition request to the acquiring bank through the payment gateway, and transfer the transaction funds from the buyer to the seller's account. The final inter-bank settlement is completed by the payment system between banks. From the above transaction process, it is not difficult to find that online transaction can be divided into two parts: transaction link and payment and settlement link. The payment and settlement link is completed by the financial professional network including payment gateway, issuing bank and card issuing bank. Therefore, without the bank, it is impossible to complete the payment of online transactions, so there is no real e-commerce
Citibank in the United States is currently developing an e-money system, which can provide consumers and enterprises with online payment services around the world. Visa Group issued 300000 smart cards ring the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. The smart card can record the amount transferred in and dect the consumption amount each time when swiping the card. It is a kind of stored value card type electronic currency. In May 1997, the Finnish bank took the lead in the experiment of online shopping payment, setting a European precedent. Due to the popularity of the Internet, the financial instry has invested in the network financial services business, which also accelerates the advent of the era of e-money. In the global plan to promote business automation, businesses and manufacturers are connected by an electronic ordering network, and each store is equipped with a point of sale system (POS). Consumers can pay all kinds of money with electronic currency through the terminal equipment of businesses
e-money is usually transmitted on a private network and processed through POS and ATM machines. In recent years, with the development of Internet, online financial services have been carried out all over the world. Internet financial services can meet people's various needs, including online consumption, online banking, personal finance, online investment and trading, online stock speculation, etc. These financial services are characterized by timely electronic payment and settlement through electronic currency. At this time, the types and forms of e-money have been further developed. The electronic currency system on Internet includes credit card system, electronic check system and digital cash system< Third, the main characteristics of e-money system
all kinds of e-money systems are in the process of development, with different characteristics, and many aspects have not been finalized. First of all, e-money procts are different in technology implementation. In order to store the prepaid value, the card based system needs special portable computer hardware facilities, the representative is the plastic card embedded in the microprocessor chip, while the software based system uses the special software installed on the standard PC< Secondly, institutional arrangements may change. The obvious point is that the operation of an e-money system will include four kinds of service providers: issuers of e-money value, network operators, suppliers of specialized software and hardware, and liquidators of e-money business. From a policy point of view, the most important provider is the issuer, because e-money is the liability of the balance sheet of these institutions. In contrast, network operators and hardware and software suppliers only provide technical services, while clearing houses are typical banks or professional companies owned by banks (it provides services for e-money and other non cash payment services). Obviously, when there are many publishers, but in some cases there is only one publisher, other institutions "buy" value from the publisher and then "sell" it to consumers
thirdly, electronic money procts have different ways of value transfer. Some electronic money systems allow direct electronic money transfers between consumers without involving any third party, such as the issuer of electronic value. More generally, payment is only allowed from the consumer to the merchant, and the merchant must exchange the recorded value in turn
Fourth, what is related to transferability is the degree of transaction records. Although some systems assume to keep only limited personal transaction records or no records at all, most systems register some transaction details between consumers and businesses in a central database, and these records can be monitored. If direct transactions between consumers are allowed, they can only be recorded in their own storage facilities, and only when consumers are connected with the operators of the e-money system can they be centrally monitored
technically, all businesses can issue e-cash, and without control, e-commerce will not develop normally, It even brings serious economic and financial problems. The safe use of e-cash is also an important issue, including limited use by legal persons and avoidance of repeated use. For borderless e-commerce applications, e-cash also has a lot of potential problems in tax, law, foreign exchange rate, money supply and financial crisis. It is necessary to formulate a strict economic and financial management system to ensure the normal operation of digital currency
e-money is the core of e-commerce, which will play an important role in international finance
e-cash flow still flows through the central bank and financial institutions to enterprises and indivials, which is identical with paper money in terms of money creation channels, circulation links and functions, and does not break away from the scope of traditional monetary policy regulation. The main function of e-cash is to facilitate transaction payment
considering that the development of non cash payment methods such as third-party payment has greatly facilitated transaction payment in recent years, the impact of e-cash on money transaction demand is limited, and the overall impact on monetary policy is not significant. The extent to which e-cash is accepted by the public depends on its convenience and security.
the current network transmission of digital RMB system (DC / EP) information is the testing content in the process of technology research and development, but it does not mean that the digital RMB is officially launched. At the current stage, the internal closed pilot test will be concted in Shenzhen, Suzhou, xiong'an, Cheng and the future Winter Olympic Games
digital currency based on blockchain has al characteristics. On the one hand, it can replace the existing inefficient cross-border payment and settlement system and promote the development of trade; On the other hand, because of its decentralized, autonomous and anonymous nature, it is easy to cause economic fluctuations and encourage criminal activities
