The same industry as virtual currency
what is digital currency
digital currency can be used to describe all electronic currencies, including virtual currency and cryptocurrency. Digital currency is a kind of electronic currency without any physical form. Because of its functions and inherent attributes, it is the same as the standard illegal fixed currency, and can also be referred to as the network version of cash. Digital currency is invisible. People need to use and hold it through devices that can be connected to a specific network
T1: eth (the first public chain at present, the underlying platform of Shanzhai coin breeding, and in the speculation of eth2.0) EOS (community consensus + DAPP possible explosion + defi can also join + drop out of high cost performance) Zec (anonymous leader)
T2: Yas (UBI concept, low market value, great potential) atom (cosmos, advantage new public chain), XRP (the decline in 2019 has not risen, so the upward space is still very large) Polkadot dot (Boca, the goal is to surpass Ethereum) KSM (Boca pioneer)
T3: Ada (potential) NEO (myth of 1000 times of the last bull market), ont (strong village), Iost (Iost is currently undervalued, DAPP is also in good development)
there are platform coins in the coin circle, corresponding to HT, BNB, MX
Virtual currency is the currency used for electronic circulation. Now the scope of virtual currency is very large, including q-coin, bitcoin and so on. With the development of digital currency, virtual currency is becoming more and more abundant, which may become the mainstream in the future. For example, BTC, EOS, bcbot and so on are not only virtual currencies, but also algorithms, landing projects and technologies
virtual currency is mainly issued by online game service providers to purchase game props, such as equipment, clothing, etc. But at present, the use of virtual currency has gone far beyond this category. Virtual currency can be used to buy game cards, physical objects and download services of some movies and software
extended data:
real risk
as the proct of e-commerce, virtual currency has begun to play an increasingly important role, and it is more and more connected with the real world. However, with the growth of virtual currency, the relevant laws and regulations are lagging behind, which has laid many hidden dangers
fraud
the private transaction of online virtual currency has realized the two-way circulation between virtual currency and RMB to a certain extent. The activity of these traders is to buy all kinds of virtual currencies and procts at a low price, and then sell them at a high price to earn profits. With the increase of such transactions, there are even virtual mints. In addition to the virtual currency provided by the main company, there are also some people who specialize in "virtual coin making" to obtain virtual currency by playing games and then resell it to other players
Taking Wenzhou as an example, there are about seven or eight such "virtual mints" with four or five hundred practitioners. This not only creates a bubble for the price of the virtual currency itself, but also causes trouble for the normal sale of the issuing company. It also provides a platform for selling and collecting money and money laundering for various cyber crimes. p>
impact system
in modern financial system, the issuers of money are generally central banks, which are responsible for the management and supervision of money operation. As the equivalent exchange goods used to replace the real currency circulation on the Internet, the virtual currency on the Internet is essentially the same as the real currency. The difference is that the issuers are no longer central banks, but Internet companies
if the development of virtual currency makes it form a unified market, each company can exchange with each other, or virtual currency is integrated and unified, and all of them are based on the same standard and price, then in a sense, virtual currency is currency, which is likely to form a threat impact on the traditional financial system or economic operation

1. Litcoin (LTC) is an improved version of digital currency inspired by bitcoin (BTC). It was designed and implemented by a programmer who worked in Google. It was released on November 9, 2011. Lightcoin and bitcoin have the same implementation principle in technology, but the creation and transfer of lightcoin is based on an open source encryption protocol, which is not managed by any central organization
2. Sunshine coin (SSC for short) is sponsored by Liu Chunyang, vice president of Jinhua express delivery Association of Zhejiang Province, instrial entrepreneur and philanthropist of express delivery instry. As a legal person, Zhejiang Dongyang Yueyin Technology Co., Ltd. is registered with the formal instry and Commerce Bureau, with a registered capital of 10 million yuan. With this as the backing and support, the sunshine elite team affiliated to the company launched the first virtual coin sunshine coin

5. Eth is a kind of digital token of Ethereum, which is regarded as "bitcoin version 2.0". It adopts the blockchain technology "Ethereum", which is different from bitcoin. It is an open-source public blockchain platform with intelligent contract results, and a resonance network composed of thousands of computers around the world. Developers need to pay eth to support the application. Like other digital currencies, ether currency can be bought and sold on the trading platform
Background: the financial application of blockchain technology brings high investment value
2018 China international big data instry Expo opened in Guiyang City, Guizhou Province on the 26th. At the meeting, it was pointed out that China will vigorously develop the digital economy in the future, deeply implement the action plan for the development of big data and cloud computing, and deeply study blockchain technology and application. Especially in the field of finance, the landing application has become the focus of the scientific and financial circles
1. The value source of blockchain is that it can perfectly solve the pain points of the current financial instry:
in today's asset securitization, insurance, supply chain finance, commodity trading, asset custody and other financial scenarios, e to many participants, high cost of credit evaluation, low settlement efficiency of intermediary institutions and other reasons, Traditional financial service methods are difficult to effectively solve the long-standing core pain points in the instry, such as information asymmetry, complex and rendant processes, and high information verification cost
2. Why can blockchain solve the above pain points:
blockchain technology integrates many basic technologies, such as distributed accounting, tamper proof, built-in contract, etc., and constructs a trust building mechanism with lower cost. The financial application based on blockchain technology can realize the ability of all market participants to obtain all transaction information and asset ownership records in the market without discrimination, and effectively solve the problem of information asymmetry; Smart contract embedding reces the error rate of payment and settlement, simplifies the process and improves efficiency; At the same time, based on transparent information and brand-new trust mechanism, there is no need to spend manpower, material resources and financial resources to confirm information among participants, which will greatly rece the trust cost between institutions, and then rece the price of financial services and transaction costs
3. The application of blockchain technology in the financial field mainly includes the following aspects:
① digital currency
among which bitcoin is the most famous. On the basis of bitcoin, a large number of other types of decentralized digital currencies have been derived. Such as: the heyday of bits
Compared with the traditional payment system, blockchain payment can directly carry out end-to-end payment for both parties without the help of the banking system, which can greatly improve the speed and rece the cost③ digital bills
④ bank credit management: the advantage of blockchain is that it can rely on program algorithm to automatically record credit related information and store it on every computer in the blockchain network, with transparent information, tamper proof and low cost
The major financial institutions and exchanges in Europe and the United States have explored the application research of building the next generation of financial asset trading platform based on blockchain technology4. The development prospect of blockchain. The future development of blockchain technology will have the most vitality with alliance chain as the entry point, and will have a significant effect and far-reaching impact on the transformation of traditional financial instry pain points
in response to the good investment prospects of blockchain, domestic enterprises such as Alibaba, Jingdong and Netcom have entered the market. The application of financial scenarios based on blockchain technology not only brings us security and convenience, but also provides us with broader investment space. The rise and price surge of digital currency represented by bitcoin (bitcoin was about RMB 20 cents when it was first listed in 2009, and its current price is about US $7300!) It's the best proof that people with a keen sense of smell have made a lot of money from it
Abstract: This is an encrypted digital currency based on the bitcoin developed by Nakamoto Tsung, which improves and adds many new functions, such as the double-layer reward system network, also known as the main node network. It also includes anonymous payment to improve the interchangeability (bitage) and real-time payment function docking to realize real-time transaction confirmation without relying on the authority of the center (P2P mall) In 2009, Nakamoto put forward the concept of bitcoin. Since then, bitcoin has spread rapidly in mainstream applications and commercial uses, becoming the first digital currency to attract a large number of users, which is a milestone in the history of digital currency. However, from the perspective of completing the transaction, we can find an important problem, that is, it takes too long for bitcoin block to confirm the transaction. Traditional payment companies have found a solution to enable the buyer and the seller to realize zero confirmation of bitcoin transaction, but this solution usually requires a trusted third party to complete the transaction outside the agreementbitcoin provides pseudonym transaction, realizes the one-to-one transaction relationship between sender and receiver, and can always record the transactions occurred in the whole network. Bitcoin only provides low-level privacy protection, which is well known in academia. Despite this deficiency, many people still believe in the transfer history recorded by blockchain
based on Nakamoto's achievements, bitshengshi is an encrypted digital currency with the purpose of protecting privacy. We have made a series of improvements on the basis of the concept of bitcoin, resulting in a decentralized cryptocurrency with good anonymity. It supports tamper proof real-time transactions, and has a point-to-point sub network that can provide service reward system for bitsheng network
2. Master node network
the whole node is the server running on the P2P network, so that small nodes can use them to accept the dynamic changes from the whole network. These all nodes need significant traffic and other resources that consume a lot of cost. Therefore, it will be observed that the number of these nodes on the bitcoin network presents a steady downward trend over a period of time, so that the block broadcast time needs an additional 40 seconds. In order to solve this problem, many solutions have been put forward, such as the introction of Microsoft Research's new incentive plan and bitnodes incentive plan
Figure 6: mining reward model
in recent years, the price of bitcoin has risen rapidly, which has led to the rise of a number of virtual currencies, and then triggered a large number of people to follow suit. In the market, there is a saying that "it is better to speculate in stocks than in real estate"
however, the explosion of bitcoin has also caused great controversy. J. P. Morgan CEO Jamie; Jamie Dimon snapped bitcoin in the middle of this month, calling it "a fraud.". Recently, Mike Novogratz, a legendary fund manager who has sung many digital currencies, said, "bitcoin will be the biggest bubble in our life." The following is the full text of bitcoin China announcement:
bitcoin China will close the digital assets and RMB recharge function at 12:00 noon on September 27, Beijing time
the ensuing ban on bitcoin mining is natural.
bitcoin has value because it is useful as a form of currency. Bitcoin has the mathematical characteristics of money (persistence, portability, interchangeability, scarcity, separability and identifiability) rather than relying on physical characteristics (such as gold and silver) or the trust of central power (such as fiat money). In short, bitcoin is backed by mathematics. With these characteristics, a form of money to have value requires trust and use. This can be reflected in the growing number of users, businesses and start-ups. Like all currencies, the value of bitcoin comes directly from people who are willing to accept it as a means of payment, which is the only source
some people with insight of digital currency in China are also beginning to explore application scenarios other than digital currency payment. Digital currency scholar Mr. Sha Qian mentioned the concept of currency business circle and planned many application scenarios of bitcoin. Perhaps inspired by the coin business circle, the jewelry instry has developed an applied digital currency, Fuyuan coin, which is similar to the traditional business integral.
Virtual currency, like bitcoin, is emerging again. What do you think of the emergence of virtual currency? For the emergence of virtual currency, I have three views:
- the emergence of virtual currency is a trend of market development. In fact, many times, the emergence of some goods is e to the market, and also inseparable from the development of the market Li >
- the emergence of virtual currency brings business opportunities. In any case, the emergence of virtual currency can make people invest, and many people can make profits from it Li >
- the emergence of virtual currency brings more competition, and the emergence of virtual currency will make more people compete, and also make the competition more intense Li > < / OL >
in fact, there is a growing trend in the development of virtual currency, and more and more people want to invest in virtual currency. Many people have a certain investment from virtual currency, and they get a certain return, but the emergence of virtual currency also brings some risks
First, the emergence of virtual currency is really e to the development of the marketin fact, I think it is because of the rapid development of the market economy that virtual currency has the opportunity to appear. Because if the virtual currency can appear based on the development of the market, it will make more people pay more attention to the virtual currency, and also enable more people to invest in the virtual currency{ RRRRR}
the emergence of virtual currency is a double-edged sword, good and bad
