Central bank sells virtual currency
at present, the so-called issuance of legal digital currency in the Internet, and the behavior of indivial institutions launching "DC / EP" or "DCEP" in the name of the people's Bank of China to conct transactions on the asset trading platform may involve fraud and pyramid selling. The general public should raise their risk awareness, not be partial to trust, and guard against interest damage
as early as September 4, 2017, the central bank and other seven departments jointly issued the announcement on preventing the financing risk of token issuance (hereinafter referred to as the announcement), pointing out that the issuance of virtual currency, ICO and other suspected illegal financial activities seriously disrupted the economic and financial order, and no organization or indivial may engage in the above activities illegally.
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.
On November 9, 2019, the central bank has not launched digital currency
in 2014, the Central Bank of China set up a special research team to conct in-depth research on the framework of digital currency issuance and business operation, key technologies of digital currency, issuance and circulation environment, and legal issues
in January 2017, the central bank officially established the digital currency Research Institute in Shenzhen
in September 2018, the Institute of digital currency built a trade finance blockchain platform
On July 8, 2019, at the launching ceremony of the digital finance open research program and the first academic seminar, Wang Xin, director of the Research Bureau of the people's Bank of China, disclosed that the State Council has officially approved the research and development of the central bank's digital currency, and the central bank is engaged in corresponding work in organizing market institutions
extended data:
benefits of digital currency
the digitalization of central bank's currency helps to optimize the central bank's monetary payment function, improve the central bank's monetary status and the effectiveness of monetary policy. The central bank's digital currency can become an interest bearing asset to meet the holder's reserve demand for safe assets, and can also become the lower limit of bank deposit interest rate. It can also become a new monetary policy tool
at the same time, the central bank can affect the bank deposit and loan interest rate by adjusting the digital currency interest rate of the central bank, and help to break the zero interest rate lower limit
Second, the value of money must be stable in a certain period of time, and it will not be as high as virtual currency such as BTC. The main purpose of the central bank's issuing virtual currency is to replace the current paper currency to a certain extent. That is to say, if a virtual currency assumes a fixed value of one yuan, it will be one yuan for a long time, It will not and will not be allowed that a virtual currency will rise to 100 or even more than 1000
thirdly, the most conservative estimate is that once issued, domestic enterprises or banks can choose whether to pay virtual currency or cash currency (RMB) when they pay wages or withdraw money. To a certain extent, cash will exist for a long time, instead of being issued all at once, all of them will be replaced by virtual currency, and all cash will be invalid, It's not realistic. It can only be said that it will be replaced graally
Fourth, the purpose of the central bank to issue virtual currency is to replace the current paper currency. Therefore, there must be a lot of similarities between this kind of virtual currency and the current paper currency. You can also directly replace the paper currency with the virtual currency, so you can have a good understanding of the nature of the virtual currency issued by the central bank. Therefore, the central bank's virtual currency is absolutely not allowed to appear, and the currency price is falsely high
therefore, it can be seen from the above points that the central bank's virtual currency is a new type of RMB, but it used to be physical, but now it is electronic and virtual. This is just like the use of real gold and silver in ancient times, and the appearance of "Jiaozi", that is, paper money, is only a kind of progress of the times. Other things are meaningless, just for the convenience of transaction, portability or personal property security. If you want to make money by investing in currency speculation, you can give up the idea. It's meaningless. If you just want to experience the freshness brought by the new currency, just wait quietly. Come out early, come out late, come out sooner or later. But then again, I'm looking forward to it.
