Can virtual currency replace traditional paper money

1. Here's what central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan said: in the future, digital currency will graally replace traditional currency
we can't say the timetable of digital currency yet. China has a large population and a large volume. For example, a new version of RMB can be changed in a few months for small countries, but it will take about 10 years for China. Therefore, digital currency and cash will be parallel and graally replaced for quite a long time. In the later stage, the transaction cost of cash will graally rise. For example, in the past, banks were asked to count a large number of coins, and there was no charge for them. Later, they may need to charge. With the incentive mechanism, people will naturally use more digital currency, but the two will still co deposit in the longer term
the central bank's issuance of digital currency is also inspired by cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and lettercoin, and the European crowdfunding model of combining digital currency with real assets also draws on the experience of bitcoin.

2. Many people have said that the following is the view of central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan:
Caixin reporter: on January 20, the people's Bank of China held a seminar on digital currency and proposed to strive for the early launch of the digital currency issued by the central bank. What is the reason for this< 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
how to replace it? There are several ideas: one is to imitate paper money. For example, transactions between paper money are anonymous, and digital currency also wants to be anonymous, which leads to its technology choice. But the reason why banknotes are anonymous is not designed intentionally at first, but no other technology can guarantee the convenience of a large number of small transactions. Of course, some people think that anonymity is better for future digital currency transactions, because assuming that the government may make mistakes, the privacy of private wealth and the use of wealth should be absolutely protected
from the perspective of the central bank, the future digital currency should try its best to protect private privacy, but social security and order are also important. In case of criminal problems, it is necessary to retain the necessary verification means, that is to say, it is necessary to find a balance between protecting privacy and cracking down on criminal activities. The mastery of the balance between these two motivations also makes the tendency of technology choice different<
Caixin: what are the central bank's ideas on the issue and management of digital currency? What's the difference between digital currency and digital currency spontaneously appearing in the current market< / > Zhou Xiaochuan: at present, what many countries in the world recognize is the framework of digital or electronic money dominated by the central bank, which may be different from that of the people
when the central bank issues digital currency, it mainly embodies the following principles: first, it provides convenience and security. Second, as mentioned above, we should balance the protection of privacy with the maintenance of social order and the fight against illegal and criminal acts, especially for money laundering, terrorism and other criminal acts. Third, it should be concive to the effective operation and transmission of monetary policy. The fourth is to retain the control of currency sovereignty. Digital currency is freely convertible and controllable. Therefore, we believe that digital currency as legal tender 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
Caixin: is there a timetable for the launch of digital currency? Is it going to replace paper money in the end

3. This platform is relatively rare. I suggest you go to a decentralized trading platform, such as celletf digital currency decentralized exchange (celletf. IO). The private key is in your own hands. Of course, it's more reliable.
4. The explosive value in digital currency is the calculated value when the digital currency is g. Bitcoin, lightcoin, Ruitai coin and Weimeng coin all encounter this situation when mining
digital currency needs to be & quot; Miner Mining & quot; Generated, mining is through the computer graphics card hash operation, if calculated to & quot; Blasting & quot; The system will reward a certain amount of digital currency at one time. At present, the computing power of digital currency is growing rapidly, and the miners can't find the mine through several computers. Therefore, they need to join the mine pool. The mine pool collects all the computing power of everyone, and it is estimated that they can calculate to & quot; Blasting & quot; The probability of the value is greater.

5. No more than 2500
6. As far as I know, many enterprises at home and abroad are doing it, including many large banks that have launched their own blockchain solution platforms or solutions. But it's important to say who does well. I think it's still a professional winner. For example, I'm familiar with interesting chain technology, which is a company specializing in the application of blockchain technology. Although it has not been established for a few years, it has a strong momentum of development, and I'm optimistic about it.
7.
at present, virtual digital currency is still in the stage of transition, research and development, and testing, and has not been recognized by the whole world, although some countries have started the relevant research process, and even will issue their own digital currency but there is a premise of digital currency, which is decentralization. A decentralized digital currency without control means cultural differences to a country
{rrrrrrr}
Second, the electronic currency will be more convenient for people's proction and life, which is determined by the convenience and liquidity of currency. The replacement of metal currency by paper currency greatly facilitates people's proction and life, and the replacement of paper currency by digital currency is also determined by its characteristics. Third, from the social and economic point of view, digital currency has security, rapid circulation and environmental protection, which is lacking in paper money. The use of digital currency can improve the economic efficiency of the whole society and make the economy more active
8. It can't be called virtual currency, it should be called digital currency. The people's Bank of China is really studying the feasibility of implementing digital currency. Once it is launched, paper currency will be replaced
9. It can't be said that it won't, at least it won't be able to completely replace paper money in a short time, and the society has not yet developed to such a degree.
10. E-money can not replace paper money
1. Whether e-money can be called currency depends on whether e-money can independently perform the function of currency. At present, electronic currency can play the role of payment and settlement, but it is only a quasi currency that may perform monetary functions. First of all, e-money lacks the price standard of money, so it can't measure and express the value and price of goods alone, and it can't have the means of value preservation. Instead, it can only rely on the function of value measurement and value storage of real money; Secondly, because electronic money is based on certain electronic devices - smart cards and computers, its circulation and use must have certain technical facilities and software support. Therefore, we can not really carry out the function of circulation means; Finally, although the most basic function of e-money is to implement the means of payment, most of the existing e-money can not be used for direct payment between indivials. Moreover, when paying to a special merchant, the merchant has to collect the real money from the bank or credit card company that issued the e-money before the payment is recovered, E-money can not perform the function of payment means independently. It can be seen that the current electronic currency is a new currency form or payment method based on the existing currency
2. Electronic money circulation and the risk of central bank losing seigniorage income
from the balance sheet of central bank, the main liability item is currency without interest payment, while the asset side is composed of various claims with interest requirements. As a result, the central bank can profit from the interest spread between assets and liabilities. This kind of profit is one of the main income channels of the central bank, which is commonly known as "seigniorage income"
3. The circulation of e-money and the risk of the central bank's monetary policy failure
when the competitive issuing mechanism of e-money is established, as e-money is widely used as a payment tool for small transactions, the currency issued by the central bank is obviously replaced, and the central bank's "seigniorage income" will be greatly reced, thus affecting its monetary policy independence. Especially for developing countries, because of the wide range of cash use, the management cost is high.
