High mobility
It takes time and space to realize real economic activities. Even in today's highly developed information technology, it takes some time from production to demand. But virtual economy is the holding and trading activity of virtual capital, and it is only the transfer of value symbols. Compared with the real economy, it is highly mobile. With the rapid development of information technology, virtual capital such as stocks and securities is paperless and electronic, and its transaction process is completed in an instant. It is the high mobility of virtual economy that improves the efficiency of social resource allocation and redistribution, making it an indispensable part of modern market economy.
Two instabilities
Virtual economy is more unstable than real economy. This is determined by the virtual economy itself. The virtual nature of the virtual economy itself makes the price determination of various virtual capitals in the process of market transactions not follow the law of value like the price determination process of the real economy, but more depends on the subjective expectations of the holders and traders of virtual capitals for the future rights and interests, and then depends on many non-economic factors such as macroeconomic environment, industry prospects, politics and surrounding environment, which increases the instability of the virtual economy.
Three high risks
Because there are many factors that affect the price of virtual capital, these factors change frequently and impermanently, and do not follow certain laws. With the rapid development of virtual economy, its transaction scale and variety are constantly expanding, which makes the existence and development of virtual economy more complicated and difficult to control. Non-professionals are limited by professional knowledge, information collection, information analysis ability, funds, time and energy. And virtual capital investment has become a high-risk investment field, especially with various venture capital.
Four high conjectures
Although the trading of virtual capital such as securities, futures and options can be used as investment purposes, it is also inseparable from speculation, which is determined by the needs of market liquidity. With the rapid development of electronic technology and network high technology, the transfer, liquidation and virtual capital transaction of huge amounts of money can be completed in an instant, which creates technical conditions and provides technical support for the high speculation of virtual capital. The more emerging and immature the market is, the worse the market supervision ability is, the worse the measures and efforts to prevent and deal with highly speculative behaviors are, the more speculative the virtual economy is, and the easier it is for speculative hot money to patronize such markets, so as to achieve the goal of making huge profits through short-term speculation.
