The invention of the bank note – or ‘paper money’ – can be accredited to the Chinese. The Chinese have now introduced their own digital Yuan, in what The Wall Street Journal describes as ‘a re-imagination of money that could shake a pillar of American power’. While Bitcoin and numerous other cryptocurrencies have previewed the future of digital currencies, China’s digital Yuan will be controlled by their central bank and be issued by them, too. A digital version of an established currency has benefits that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are lacking. ‘Cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin have foreshadowed a potential digital future for money, though they exist outside the traditional global financial system and aren’t legal tender like cash issued by governments’, writes James T. Areddy. However, unlike Bitcoin and its anonymity, the digital Yuan is expected to enable the Chinese government to further monitor people and the economy. – Jarryd Neves
