The central bank talks about virtual currency

1. After the people's Bank of China announced the launch of digital currency as soon as possible in January this year, Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the people's Bank of China, recently gave a detailed description of the development of digital currency in an interview with Caixin weekly
Zhou Xiaochuan pointed out that as legal tender, digital currency must be issued by the central bank. The issue, circulation and transaction of digital currency should follow the idea of integration of traditional currency and digital currency, and implement the same principle of management. That is to say, q-coin and the like are definitely not good
as for whether to use blockchain technology to create digital currency. Zhou Xiaochuan said that the blockchain technology is an optional technology, but so far, the blockchain still occupies too many resources. Whether it is computing resources or storage resources, it can't cope with the current transaction scale, and whether it can be solved in the future depends on it. Zhou Xiaochuan said that in addition to blockchain technology, the digital currency research team of the people's Bank of China has also concted in-depth research on other related technologies involved in digital currency, such as mobile payment, trusted and controllable cloud computing, cryptographic algorithm, security chip, etc
it is certain that the digital currency issued by the central bank can never be the same as bitcoin, Ruitai, Qianjin card and other digital currencies. The digital currency issued by the central bank is just the digital currency.

2. The Chinese currency can not attract the attention of the central bank. Its influence is too small. If it attracts the attention of the central bank, it is certain to ban it. This kind of currency is direct selling currency without any physical support and application scenarios. There are many such currencies in China. Most players who don't know much about digital currency can make money. This kind of coin can only survive for about three months to six months
bitcoin, Ruitai coin, Laite coin and Qianjin card are only high-risk and high-yield investment procts in China. There is no such thing as "only rising but not falling" in the digital currency circle. If there is, it must be a pyramid scheme or artificial control.

3. At the Boao Forum for Asia held in April this year, Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the central bank, said that since digital currency is not the currency initiated and approved by the central bank, it is impossible to ban it. Digital currency belongs to digital assets, which can be freely traded between indivials. Therefore, digital currency is not MLM, not capital disk, but a kind of financial investment

4. The main purposes are as follows:

1
2
3
4. Protect the property rights and interests of the public, protect the legal tender status of RMB, prevent the risk of money laundering and maintain financial stability
5. Avoid excessive speculation in the name of "virtual currency" for virtual commodities such as bitcoin, which will damage the public interest and the legal tender status of RMB.

5. Zhou Xiaochuan, the governor of the central bank, said at the Boao Forum for Asia that virtual currency is not a currency approved by the central bank and can not be banned. Since digital currency is not the currency initiated and approved by the central bank, it can not be banned. Digital currency belongs to digital assets, which can be freely traded between indivials. Therefore, digital currency is not MLM, not capital disk, but a kind of financial investment.

6. In fact, the central bank has been studying digital currency for a long time. From the perspective of historical development trend, money has always evolved with the development of technological progress and economic activities. From the early physical money, commodity money to the later credit money, it is a natural choice to adapt to the development of human commercial society. As the currency of the previous generation, paper money has low technology content. From the perspective of safety and cost, it is the general trend to be replaced by new technology and new procts. In particular, with the development of the Internet and the great changes in payment methods all over the world, the establishment of digital currency issuance and circulation system is very necessary for the construction of financial infrastructure and the promotion of economic quality, efficiency and upgrading.

7.

One is to block the "going to sea" virtual currency trading platform. As of May 2018, 110 websites, including hot coin.com and coin.com, have been blocked

Fourthly, risk warning and public opinion guidance should be actively carried out. Together with the China Internet Finance Association, we remind the public to be highly alert to the risks and hazards of virtual currency related activities through various channels and forms

Fifthly, we should actively support and cooperate with the public security organs to crack down on all kinds of fake virtual currency and related illegal fund-raising, fraud, pyramid schemes and other activities. According to the statistics of public security organs, in recent years, nearly 300 cases of virtual currency crimes have been filed and investigated

8. Q-coin is not a currency, it's just Tencent virtual currency officially launched by Tencent, it's an enterprise virtual currency
the central bank's supervision of virtual currency is mainly reflected in the supervision of bitcoin. The central bank forbids any enterprise or indivial to use bitcoin as a payment tool. As a payment tool, virtual currency has great risks, Therefore, the central bank's supervision of virtual currency is very strict
