2. They are different
e-money: in fact, it is the electronization of legal currency, including our common bank card, online banking, e-cash, etc; There are also third party payments developed in recent years, such as Alipay and WeChat payment. No matter what the form of these electronic money is and through which institutions it circulates, its original source is the legal money issued by the central bank
virtual currency: virtual currency refers to non real currency, and its existence state is intangible. The most important difference between virtual currency and electronic currency in narrow sense is the difference of issuers. Virtual currency is the electronization of illegal currency, and its original issuer is not the central bank. For example, game currency, q-coin, and ticket counting are mainly limited to circulation in a specific virtual environment
digital currency: a digital currency that applies the latest digital network technologies such as blockchain and has the characteristics of Distributed Accounting, unique encryption technology and decentralized settlement. Of course, digital tools with these characteristics must be supported by national credit if they want to become sovereign currency or legal tender
commonly referred to as Q / currency and bitcoin, all belong to virtual currency. Compared with digital currency, the most fundamental difference lies in the difference of issuers. Virtual currency is the electronization of illegal currency. The issuer is not the central bank, and it can only circulate in a specific virtual environment, such as Tencent Q / currency and other game currencies; Digital currency can be used for real goods and services transactions, but only the digital currency issued by the state is legal digital currency, bitcoin is illegal digital currency.

10 10, two major domestic payment giants Alipay and WeChat simultaneously voicing, prohibiting the use of platforms in virtual currency transactions. Why did Alipay and WeChat voice at the same time? The reporter understands that this may be related to a dynamic trend of a virtual trading platform in the near future. P>

Alipay and WeChat: once found and resolutely retreated,

has repeatedly banned payment agencies to provide virtual

services. In fact, the central bank and its branches have repeatedly requested payment agencies not to provide services for virtual currency transactions.

as early as the end of 2013, the central bank and other ministries and commissions issued the notice on preventing bitcoin risks, which made it clear that all financial institutions and Payment institutions should not price procts or services with bitcoin, buy or sell bitcoin or act as central counterparties, underwrite insurance business related to bitcoin or include bitcoin in the scope of insurance liability, Shall not directly or indirectly provide customers with other services related to bitcoin, including: providing customers with bitcoin registration, trading, clearing, settlement and other services; Accept bitcoin or use bitcoin as a payment and settlement tool; Carry out bitcoin and RMB and foreign currency exchange services; Carry out bitcoin storage, custody, mortgage and other services; Issuing financial procts related to bitcoin; Take bitcoin as the investment target of trust, fund, etc

in September 2017, the central bank and other seven departments jointly issued the announcement on preventing the financing risk of token issuance, which stipulates that financial institutions and non bank payment institutions shall not directly or indirectly provide procts or services such as account opening, registration, trading, clearing and settlement for token issuance financing and "virtual currency"

similarly, the business management department of the central bank issued a notice in January 2018, requiring all legal person Payment institutions under its jurisdiction to carry out self inspection and rectification work in their own units and branches, forbidding to provide services for virtual currency transactions, and taking effective measures to prevent payment channels from being used for virtual currency transactions

4. Lin is a virtual currency. But now many people pay directly by wechat. The function is basically the same as cash. But after all, it's invisible, so it's virtual currency
you can also use the money in wechat. Direct to the bank card. And then take it out, so it's a solid coin

The essence of money is the general equivalent. In the process of the continuous development and evolution of human history, it has gone through the stage of physical money, the stage of substitute money, and then entered the stage of credit money. In primitive society, people exchanged livestock, salt, shells and other hard to get goods as general equivalents

in the long history, the emergence of metal currency makes the economic life achieve unprecedented prosperity. However, e to the inconvenience of carrying metal money, paper money became the mainstream form of money. With the rapid development of modern information technology, e-money has come into our life

if the evolution process from physical money to value symbol paper money is the first qualitative leap in the history of money development, then the evolution process from paper money to electronic money is the second qualitative leap in the history of money development

from the perspective of money form, physical money itself is a commodity in addition to performing monetary functions; Paper money is a symbolic tool of value for commodity exchange and a credit currency; Electronic currency is the proct of highly developed Internet economy and continuous progress of bank payment and settlement technology. It not only has the function of traditional currency, but also can continuously improve digital currency

At the same time, the virtual money market based on electronic information is also booming. By the end of 2014, the number of Internet users in China had reached 632 million, including 517 million registered users in the online game market and 114.48 billion yuan of sales revenue, an actual increase of 37.7% over the previous year

a huge virtual space based on the Internet has been formally formed. As a kind of virtual currency with intrinsic value, convenient online trading behavior, low transaction cost, and service providers' issuance, it emerges as the times require

first of all, from the functional analysis. Virtual currency is a kind of transaction medium in the Internet virtual space, which has the function of value scale, but the value scale of virtual currency is different from that of legal currency

using virtual currency to purchase virtual procts and services can only be within the scope specified and allowed by the issuer of virtual currency (Internet operator), and the size of this scope depends on the number of virtual procts and services. If the virtual procts and services provided by the website are large enough, the scope of virtual currency will be large

the currency value of virtual currency depends on the pricing of virtual currency by issuers. When no currency can communicate between virtual cyberspace and reality, the pricing of procts and services is still based on real RMB. That is to say, when issuers of virtual currency price their own virtual currency, they should first convert the price of virtual currency based on RMB

As the most influential payment platform in the world, supporting the entry of virtual digital currency not only increases the access channel of virtual currency, but also means that virtual currency has been graally recognized and supported by the market, which has become a trend of future currency development

although virtual currency has incomparable advantages over traditional paper currency, e to the lack of an international standard and agreement, its price is often hyped up and down by intentional speculators. For the popularization and application of virtual currency in the world, there is still a long way to go in the future
