李礼辉：数字货币可去现钞、去中介，但国内区块链还处在规模化可靠应用瓶颈:中国互联网金融业协会区块链研究组组长、中国银行原行长李礼辉10月18日在媒体活动中表示，数字货币对经济生活的影响其中一个就是去现钞，让日常生活更加简单，实际上也会加快人民币的国际化进程；二是去中介，会让金融竞争更充分。目前法定数字货币是因为政府的背书而可信，如果其他机构发行的数字货币，李礼辉认为，要做到五个方面的要素才有可能被信任：1、具有公众信任机构的信任背书；2、具有商业价值的客户规模；3、具有可靠的机关交易合支付平台；4、具有可审计的金融资产做支撑；5、具有行政许可的市场准入。虽然区块链技术已上升至国家战略层面，但李礼辉认为目前区块链发展还处在一个瓶颈状态，即规模化可靠应用的瓶颈。他表示，这几年中国在区块链专利的申请方面已经做得很好，甚至超过了美国，但在底层这些所有高价值的基础领域，我国还存在很大的差距。（华夏时报）[2020/10/18]
