Digital currency transaction method
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
