I can confirm this from PBOC official website. It put more emphasis on a Cash-Less/Internet-base system. Blockchain was mentioned, and sure it will be digital currency. However I doubt that the issuing will be free to the Internet. They will have the right on hand.

china has always been a driving force of the digital currency, though dichina circulation of bitcoin is not legalized, but the rapid development of bitcoin really there. and now digital currency  will be held in beijing.

In my opinion it will be like the tether coin used by some exchanges as a USD token. I don't know the specifics of how it works, but I think it's centrally controlled and has a fixed value against the dollar. The PBOC could control the supply of a coin like that, printing mor or withdrawing some when it suits it.

pos coins is the best way for them to issue a cryptocoin, you really think that they will deploy an exa of hash power, and create another network akin to bitcoin, thisis the real no way

more like the distribution will be like a pos coin but based on your job earning, like they do today with fiat

Uh, money today is not distributed based on your job earning o_O are you high?

And when did I ever say they will make another bitcoin? I said they will CONTROL issuance. Which is obviously not bitcoin. Think more like WoW gold or Ripple.

China's financial and payment institutions should not accept Bitcoin as legal tender, Chinese authorities said on Thursday, warning of the risks related to the digital currency. China has decided to ban all financial and payment institutions from establishing any Bitcoin services, as the digital currency carries high risks, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) said in a notice released Thursday. The PBOC, China's central bank, said in the notice that Bitcoin "is a virtual product, does not carry equal legal status as fiat

There is no way a PoS coin will work. Its absolutely not possible. They need to be able to control it and add in whatever amount of new coins they want any time they want. they're not going to let a random farmer's savings grow just like that.

It should be obvious that China will do away with paper money within the next decade.

They won't have to make many changes, the vast majority of transactions in developed countries across the world are digital/electronic transactions already. Credit cards, wires, ACH, etc.

Sweden is already basically there (cashless). The Chinese government supports it as it allows them more control over individual and corporate finances.

I almost never use cash, myself. It is all credit cards, auto-billing and wires. None of this requires a new currency.

Cashless for this circumstance is still based on centralized fiat money. All of the transactions are recorded at their data centors. Banks still have tangible reserve like gold, cash notes or any other resources to back it. Its concept is totally different from digital currency like bitcoin.

It is very old news. I only saw the article posted on the op from PBOC on Thursday.They endorsed the advantages digital currency has brought to us, not mentioned any warning, or risks. If it is like you said, please give me the links.

man, they are issuing it themselves, you see in the alt section soem random dude making a pos coin, why a government can not follow that approach?

they can control it easily, by premining 100% of the total supply and then distrubute it like i've said above, basically they pay your wage with this coin instead of fiat

China is trying to use it for what it has came. They are driving force on it as digital currency for the use of being worldwide ecurrency. It is not bad in it that bitcoin remain virtual currency. The powers must have to work for its easy use and I think it must be the actual issue.

I think it would be like a POS coin,centralization of power, strict supervision, in case the funds are not clear flight, money laundering, etc., the government always need to do so

[Kprawn]

Look at it from the Chinese perspective .... They like to be in full control. {Just use the internet firewall as a example} Here we have a technology that offer them a option to

eliminate the anonymity of cash and give them more control to follow every transaction made with whatever token they choose. This is more or less what Alt coins like Ripple are

offering the US government. You as a individual still have the option to use Bitcoin to circumvent these invasive controls. 

[Bitcoinpro]

the seminars only topic is Bitcoin, the mining giants are obviously

about to sieze power off the Chinese Govt who are a bumch of

fkn clowns
