Virtual economy is relative to the real economy, and it is the inevitable product of economic virtualization (called "financial deepening" in the west). The essence of economy is a set of value system, including material price system and asset price system. Virtual economy includes not only financial industry and real estate industry, but also sports economy, gambling industry and collection industry. The excessive development of virtual economy will bring bubble economy.

Virtual economy is the product of highly developed market economy, and its ultimate goal is to serve the real economy. With the rapid development of virtual economy, its scale has surpassed that of real economy, and it has become an economic category relatively independent of real economy. Compared with the real economy, the virtual economy has obviously different characteristics. To sum up, it is mainly manifested in four aspects: high liquidity, instability, high risk and high speculation.

The economy falls into two categories:

Real economy and virtual economy, the real economy refers to material and spiritual products and economic activities such as production, circulation and service.

The real economy has always been the foundation for the survival and development of human society. The real economy is the main body of the national economy and the foundation of the country. ?

Virtual economy refers to the economic activities related to circular movement, in which virtual capital mainly depends on the financial system, which is simply Qian Shengqian's activities. At present, the cycle of virtual economy is in financial markets, such as stocks, funds, futures, insurance, wealth management, collection, gambling, banking and so on.

Virtual economy is very speculative, so it can make a lot of money. Fictitious economy has only risen in China for more than 20 years, and China people's understanding of it is still superficial, or even completely absent. It should be said that virtual economy is a trend of China's economic development in the future, and there is still a lot of room for development. Why do I say that? Because the virtual economy has been active in the west for more than 200 years, while China has only been active for 20 years.
