What will China's digital currency anchor
digital currency is likely to change the current world monetary pattern and become the mainstream of currency in the future
the essence of money is a tool to measure the price, from the most primitive shells, later copper coins, gold and silver, and now paper money. They do not have the value attribute, but when people give it the value measurement standard, it acts as a tool to measure the value. They are credit currencies. It is because of the strong credit endorsement of the state that the public recognizes them as the medium of goods exchange
this also means that you can go out later without anything. As long as you have money in your digital currency, you can buy anything you need. Later, with the development of the Internet of things, everything will be connected, and your clothes, shoes and bags may become the carrier of digital currency
at present, digital currency is still in the exploratory stage, and its use is still to download app, and then use it. Recently, Shenzhen has issued several rounds of red packets, each user can get 200 yuan red packets, which can be used in designated shopping malls, supermarkets, restaurants and many other places, and some enterprises use it to pay wages, and large-scale pilot will be implemented in the future

3. Option contract is a kind of agreement, which can give traders the right to buy or sell assets at a predetermined price before a specific date or on a specific date. Option contracts are trading derivatives that can be based on a wide range of underlying assets, including stocks and cryptocurrencies. These contracts may also come from information such as financial indicators. Generally, option contracts are used to hedge the risk of existing positions and speculative transactions.
the Central Bank of China held a seminar on digital currency at the beginning of this year, and the issue of digital currency by the central bank has been put on the agenda. Some international banking giants and technology companies are also developing digital currency, and the Bank of England also plans to issue digital currency. All this means that digital currency is getting closer to our real life. However, the digital currency issued by the government may be in circulation in the future, but bitcoin, Ruitai currency and vitality currency can only exist as an asset class.
we can understand that digital currency is an account book containing all historical transactions. Each block will have several transaction records, which can be viewed by all participants. Each participant of digital currency has to maintain this account book together, Digital currency is a collection of transaction data
for example, in the field of digital currency bitcoin, there will be the concept of "miner". Miner needs to constantly repeat operations to generate workload, and each miner has competition. It needs to complete a mathematical problem based on cryptographic hash algorithm. The answer is in the area, if who works out the answer first, So who can broadcast in the network that he has obtained this block, other miners will not go to this block for mining, but will work in the next block. Miners will have more transaction costs in his block, and they will generate what we call digital currency bitcoin as a reward, and then they will go to their own digital currency bitcoin account
there is no problem with digital currency itself. There may be criminals using digital currency as a cover to cheat, which needs to be carefully screened
1. The volume of digital currency is too large. With the development of digital currency, the volume of digital currency stored in nodes is becoming larger and larger, and the computing burden is also increasing. Colleagues have also caused a lot of impact on the operation of digital currency bitcoin client
2. There is a problem with the data confirmation time. The time for a digital currency bitcoin transaction is about 10 minutes. If we confirm six times, we need to wait for an hour, which is a long time;
"the emergence of digital currency follows the inevitable law of currency evolution, and is also the inevitable result of the development of science and technology. From the perspective of historical process, the carrier of currency has evolved from shellfish and precious metals to paper money, and then to the popular third-party payment electronic currency in modern society
in essence, they are pursuing the convenience and low cost of transaction, and this trend continues to develop, and the manifestation in the future society is digital currency. The first thing to solve is the technical barriers, although today's blockchain is regarded as the Internet of the 1990s, and its future is limitless. But it is not mature enough to support the huge payment system. At the same time, the issuance of legal digital currency will greatly increase the number of point-to-point transactions, bypass the original regulatory system to a certain extent, and easily facilitate illegal transactions. As digital currency makes it very convenient to convert deposits into cash, financial panic and financial risk will accelerate the spread once they occur, which increases the difficulty of supervision. In addition, in the process of using legal digital currency, a large number of user data and transaction information will be obtained. How to store and manage these data to prevent the disclosure and illegal use of user information is also an important challenge.
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
