电子货币的职能是什么?电子货币能否被称为通货,关键在于电子货币能否独立地执行通货职能。电子货币可以起到支付和结算的作用,但电子货币只是蕴涵着可能执行货币职能的准货币。
What is the function of an electronic currency? Whether an electronic currency can be described as a currency or not, the key is whether an electronic currency can independently perform a currency function.
首先,电子货币缺少货币价格标准,因而无法单独衡量和表现商品的价值和价格,也无法具有价值保存手段而只有依附于现实货币价值尺度职能和价值储藏职能;
First, the absence of monetary price standards in e-money makes it impossible to measure and express the value and price of the commodity alone or to have the means to preserve its value, depending only on the real monetary value scale function and the value storage function;
其次,由于电子货币是以一定电子设备为载体—智能卡和计算机,其流通和使用必须具备一定的技术设施条件及软件的支持。因此,尚不能真正执行流通手段的职能;
Second, because e-money is a vehicle for certain electronic devices & mdash; smart cards and computers whose circulation and use require certain technical facilities and software support. Therefore, it is not possible to really perform the function of means of communication;
最后,尽管目前电子货币最基本的职能是执行支付手段,但是现有的各种电子货币中的大多数,并不能用于个人之间的直接支付,而且向特约商户支付时,商户一方还要从发行电子货币的银行或信用卡公司收取实体货币后,才算完成了对款项的回收,电子货币不能完全独立执行支付手段的职能。可见现阶段的电子货币是以既有通货为基础的新的货币形态或是支付方式。
Finally, while the most basic function of electronic currency at present is the execution of means of payment, most of the various electronic currencies available are not available for direct payments between individuals, and when payments are made to contractors, the recovery of money is not complete until the merchant has received the real currency from the issuing bank or credit card company, and the electronic currency is not fully independent in carrying out the functions of the means of payment. Thus, the electronic currency at this stage is a new currency form or mode of payment based on established currency.
