Future use scenarios of digital currency
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. The European Banking authority defines virtual currency as a digital representation of value, which is not issued by the central bank or authorities, nor linked with legal currency. However, because it is accepted by the public, it can be used as a means of payment, or it can be transferred, stored or traded in electronic form
in recent years, the excessive issuance of banknotes has led to the aggravation of inflation, the frequent security crisis of third-party payment, and the graal maturity of blockchain technology, so decentralized digital currencies such as bitcoin, Ethereum and reborn have emerged. Digital currency has the advantages of low transaction cost, fast transaction speed, high anonymity and fixed amount of money
At the same time, the use scenarios of digital currency become more and more abundant, which makes the user acceptance grow. At present, the use of digital currency has covered all kinds of scenes, such as shopping consumption, wage payment, transportation, travel, takeout settlement and tuition payment. The expanding landing scene has also brought a wider range of consumers. In general, although the number of users of digital currency still accounts for a small proportion of the total population, the number of users is growing. At present, the utilization rate of digital currency has exceeded 10% in 10 countries around the world In June 2019, Facebook launched Libra virtual cryptocurrency, which has caused worldwide influence. The emergence of Libra may form a global super sovereign currency, thus affecting the traditional transaction settlement currency. For China, the emergence of Libra, on the one hand, will have an impact on China's traditional currency and threaten the sovereign status of China's currency; On the other hand, because RMB is not included in Libra's basket of currencies, it will rece the reserve demand of RMB by central banks, thus hindering the internationalization of RMB. In response to this threat, CCTV timely launched the central bank digital currency. In September 2019, according to China Daily, the central bank's digital currency closed-loop test has begun, and the central bank's digital currency is about to come outcoincidentally, in addition to China, central banks around the world have also announced that they will launch a centralized digital currency based on national credit. In 2015, Ecuador took the lead in launching the national version of digital currency, which can not only rece the issuance cost and increase the convenience, but also enable people in remote areas who cannot have banking resources to obtain financial services through the digital platform. At present, Canada, Brazil, Norway, the United Kingdom and other countries are studying the central bank legal digital currency, while the Bahamas, Sweden, Russia and other countries are discussing the possibility of digital currency issuance. Generally speaking, the developing countries which have received a great impact on digital currency have supported legal digital currency for financial inclusion, breaking through sanctions and other reasons

A few days ago, some media reported that in the future, once legal digital currency really runs, application scenarios will penetrate into all aspects of social life
However, there is still a long way to go for legal digital currency to enter our life like cash. The first thing to solve is the technical obstacles. Although today's blockchain is regarded as the Internet of the 1990s, and its future is limitless, it is not mature enough to support the huge payment systemArticle source: bit110 network

It is no different from paper money, and it is very convenient to use. according to relevant instry insiders, the use of digital currency does not need the Internet, and it can be said to be simple and convenient with a mobile phone, The cost is low
is there any security guarantee? In fact, the central bank's digital RMB has the nature of legal compensation. Digital RMB does not calculate and pay interest, and can be used in small, retail and high-frequency business scenarios. It is no different from paper money. Moreover, because of the nature of legal compensation, we can't refuse to accept the central bank's digital RMB. Moreover, the digital currency Research Institute of the people's Bank of China says that it can realize the circulation of digital currency between different clients in the transaction process by means of technical solutions, generating new digital currency and canceling old digital currency. After being excited for so long, it turned out that it was just an oolong. However, some people said that this warm-up is likely that the digital currency will be released soon
In the official letter of Xiangcheng District of Suzhou, enterprises, institutions and management committees of Xiangcheng District are required to sign a digital currency agreement with the wage paying bank, install digital wallets for all staff (except retirees), and pay 50% of the monthly salary in the form of digital currency
this is the first practical application of the central bank's digital currency since the R & D news, which is a historical moment worth remembering
let's review the development of DCEP:
in 2014, the central bank set up a special research group on legal digital currency
in 2016, it set up a digital currency Research Institute on the basis of the original group
in June 2018, it set up Shenzhen Financial Technology Co., Ltd.
in August 2019, the central government issued a document to carry out digital currency research and mobile payment pilot in Shenzhen
on October 29, 2019, At the "2019 Bund financial summit", Huang Qifan, vice president of China Center for international economic exchange, said: "the digital currency DCEP launched by the Central Bank of China is a new crypto electronic currency system based on blockchain technology." This is the debut of DCEP
On April 3, 2020, in the "national teleconference on money, gold, silver and security work", the central bank said that it would "unswervingly promote the research and development of legal digital currency" On April 10, Zhou Xuedong, director of the general office of the people's Bank of China, pointed out at the "first quarter financial statistics press conference" that "with regard to digital currency, the people's Bank of China is advancing in an orderly manner according to the original plan."on April 14, the central bank's digital currency DCEP took the lead in the internal test of ABC
on April 16, Xiangcheng District of Suzhou realized the implementation of the first application scenario of central bank's digital currency DCEP, using "digital wallet" as the payment channel and issuing it in the form of transportation subsidies
judging from various actions, the central bank's plan for digital currency is well prepared and in an orderly and continuous progress
why DCEP
from the national level, it is well known that the macroeconomic regulation and control means of sovereign countries are mainly through monetary policy and fiscal policy, just like the current global lack of liquidity e to the epidemic, China's economy is stimulated by interest rate rection and government spending, but the funds are transmitted layer by layer, and there are few funds really used for the target range
if we use the central bank's digital currency system, we can analyze and track a large number of transactions, and use the most direct and efficient means to put funds where they need, so as to release liquidity and benefit the people
from the international level,
the use of blockchain technology can realize the review of national credit and increase the credit of the country's monetary system. With the increase of GNP, credit must also increase, and the process of RMB internationalization will be more rapid
this is very simple to understand. Blockchain technology makes it impossible for asset certificates to be forged and makes credit verifiable, which is naturally concive to RMB internationalization
Last year, the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) issued a report that up to now, nearly 70% of the central banks are studying the digital currency of the central bank, which also shows that the digital wave is the general trend. At present, the central bank's digital currency DCEP is likely to be used on a large scale ahead of other countries in the world, and the era of digital currency is comingthe era of digital economy is getting closer and closer
today's era is a digital era. With the comprehensive rise of technological innovation and digital economy, science and technology has changed from the initial role of a tool to the backbone of financial reform. The continuous collision and integration of digital five complete genes (whole airspace, whole process, whole scene, full analysis, and full value) and financial instry not only changes the settlement and settlement methods and sovereign currency issuance mechanism among indivials, enterprises, and countries, but also greatly improves the operation efficiency of instrial chain, and brings the development of the whole economic society and human progress
if blockchain technology will "genetically transform" all walks of life, then digital currency will "genetically transform" the financial instry. Looking forward to the future, the in-depth integration and transformation of traditional instries by blockchain, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, Internet of things and other technologies will lead us into a new era of digital economy
in short, the era of digital economy is getting closer and closer to us
the implementation of the central bank's digital currency is bound to bring disruptive changes to the existing financial market and breed huge wealth opportunities. The future has come, the wind has come, keep up with the pace of the instry, accurately grasp the future trend, and quickly seize the blue ocean of wealth business
Digital RMB does not pay interest, and can be used in small, retail and high-frequency business scenarios, which is no different from paper money. moreover, we can't refuse to accept the central bank's digital RMB because of its legal compensation. In fact, the concept of digital currency has been mentioned for several years. On August 29 this year, China Construction Bank added "digital currency" to its official app; Recharge digital wallet; And & lt; Digital currency & quot; Two submenus. This activity makes people excited. Is the digital currency really going to be issued? But just excited soon, I found that the two submenu completely offline
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 activitiesLet's first make clear the & lt; Digital currency & quot; It's something
one, it is a & lt; Concept & quot;. In fact, through the mobile app of major commercial banks, or through the app of UnionPay, they can achieve the same function. But we can see commercial banks and UnionPay in the payment market; Losing again and again;, As a result, the central bank has finally been unable to sit still and directly launched apps for consumers and users. And, with an advanced concept to rename, the name is right at the same time, it can also attract extensive attention of users
from the above four points, we can see whether digital currency can be & lt; National promotion & quot; It mainly depends on whether the services it can provide can fully meet the needs of users
but is similar to the mainstream Alipay and WeChat payment. The performance of every hue payment tool launched by other major Internet platforms is very difficult to obtain the recognition and use of the most users. p>
