2. Legal risks faced by digital currency: (1) at the macro level, there are legal risks, systematic risks and consumer protection. At present, the legislative problems of e-commerce and e-payment have not been solved, the concept of e-currency and related provisions need to be clarified, and many laws and regulations have not been followed up. Secondly, there is a systemic risk caused by the collapse of a single issuing institution. If a certain issuing institution loses confidence in e-money e to its poor management, other e-money issuing institutions will also face run risk. Moreover, in the absence of standardized supervision, it is difficult for the public to effectively identify the qualification and credit level of issuers. How to effectively prompt risks and protect the rights and interests of the public has become a difficult problem. In addition, the concealment, rapidity and cross-border nature of Internet payment make e-money an inevitable money laundering tool for criminals 2 At the micro level, there are technical risks and credit risks in the main body of e-money issuance. The issuers of e-money in China include banks, non bank financial institutions, Internet enterprises and other enterprises. Due to the weak financial professional foundation of some issuers, especially the lack of mandatory technical security standards in China, there are serious management loopholes and security risks in e-money issuers. System software or hardware failures will affect the availability of e-money. Secondly, the unreasonable structure of assets and liabilities and high concentration of investment will lead to the lack of liquidity and the risk of default. In addition, the payment and circulation of e-money rely heavily on all kinds of networks, and there are all kinds of operational risks, such as deliberate embezzlement of other people's accounts, internal crimes of issuing institutions and malicious intrusion of hackers, which will damage the interests of e-money holders. bitcoin, Ruitai and other digital currencies are suitable.

1. High liquidity
every good and reliable digital currency is essential. Every digital currency should have strong liquidity, not only in the scope of third-party trading platform, but also in offline entities or countries like bitcoin
Second, lower volatility
generally, volatility comes from the influence of third-party trading platform, which is similar to stock trading. Strong operators need to control the market to prevent the digital currency market from soaring or plummeting. Therefore, the volatility of a digital currency can show whether the digital currency can develop stably
Third, tradability one of the most important properties of digital currency is tradability. If a digital currency does not have tradability, the digital currency is basically useless. Only when a digital currency has tradability can it have liquidity and volatility Fourth, the nature of decentralization digital currency has the characteristics of decentralization. Digital money is neither controlled nor manipulated by centralized entities. That is to say, no indivial or third party can obtain the user's digital currency Fifth, the value of digital currency is increasing based on the market demand. It is not subject to government regulation or operation, which is not like legal money. The rise and fall of digital currency price depends on the transactions between users on the third-party trading platform4. Digital currency does not worry about counterfeit money. If it is paper money, it worries about counterfeit money. I don't worry. I didn't take any money with me.
5. Generally speaking, DCEP is the "digital currency with value characteristics" issued by the state. It can completely replace the market banknotes and has the same functions and attributes as banknotes. The release of DCEP redefines what digital currency represents. In the past, bitcoin, Ethereum and other currencies also had multiple nicknames such as digital currency or cryptocurrency. Now digital currency needs to be removed from these nicknames
in terms of positioning, the central bank's digital currency DCEP is not simply the digitization of banknotes, but to replace M0 (banknotes and coins) and change the form of the base currency. M0 refers to the cash in circulation, that is, the sum of the cash on hand of various units outside the banking system and the cash held by residents. The digitalization of banknotes generally refers to online replacement of lines, such as Alipay and WeChat, which all belong to online payment. However, both of them need to bind bank cards to pay. DCEP does not have this restriction, that is to say, when using DCEP for payment, there is no need to bind any bank account
the name of digital currency is easy to associate with cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, but there is a fundamental difference between DCEP and them: DCEP is centralized while bitcoin is decentralized
to be exact, DCEP is a kind of sovereign credit currency, while the latter two are the procts of the idea of "currency non nationalization". The paper money itself has no value. The reason why it can perform the function of currency is that it is supported by the national credit and has the nature of legal compensation and compulsion. However, cryptocurrency such as bitcoin is a kind of private currency in essence and has no solid credit foundation. Therefore, any cryptocurrency with its own mining algorithm, following P2P protocol, limited amount, reaching a certain degree of consensus and decentralization can be a substitute for bitcoin
comparatively speaking, if there is a substitute for DCEP, it can only be other forms of RMB, such as banknotes and coins. That is to say, the digital currency DCEP issued by the central bank is still the debt of the central bank to the public, and this relationship between creditor's rights and debt will not change with the change of currency form.

6. Theoretically, it's OK, but it's just a good vision, just staying in theory. Ideal is full, reality is backbone. It is a slow and bumpy process for digital currency to replace legal currency. First of all, the popularization of digital currency must require the improvement of corresponding infrastructure, the great improvement of China's economic development level and the formation of people's behavior habits. The central bank is also interested in digital currency, but this kind of digital currency is more just the digital currency of RMB. There is a natural difference between the design principles of bitcoin, Ruitai coin and Qianjin card.
