Abstract

The subject of the research is the modern understanding of money and its interaction with cryptocurrencies and gold as an important aspect of the monetary policy. The purposes of the research were to define the concepts of commercial physical money and symbolic credit money and characterize the modern credit money while treating cryptocurrencies as specific tokens suitable for money transfers and other operations. The paper gives assessment of the blockchain technology as a promising IT product ft for practical use in many sectors of the economy. The role of gold in the modern economy is analyzed. The specific features of the new method of attracting investment — the initial coin offering (ICO) — are considered. It is noted that a new sector has emerged in the modern economy and its financial sphere with elements of self-organization based on IT products. The paper emphasizes the need for legal support of the issue and circulation of cryptocurrencies. It is asserted that nowadays gold has completely lost its monetary function and the reasons for its accumulation by the states are explained. The prospects for the coexistence of modern money and cryptocurrencies are evaluated. It is concluded that the money function of gold ceased in the twentieth century, which is an undisputable fact. The world of physical money is in the past. The current world gold market exists only thanks to the Washington Gold Agreement of 1999 renewable every five years. The world economy is still facing a difficult period of adjusting cryptocurrencies to being used as new tools in the world of credit money and securities. Предметы исследования — сущность современного понимания денег и их взаимодействие с криптовалютами и золотом как важные аспекты кредитно-денежной политики. Цели работы — определение понятий торговых вещественных денег и символических кредитных денег, характеристика современных кредитных денег, трактовка криптовалют в качестве специфических жетонов или токенов, пригодных для перевода денег и некоторых других операций. В статье дается оценка технологии блокчейн как перспективного продукта ИТ-технологий, пригодного для конструктивного использования во многих отраслях экономики. Анализируется роль золота в современной экономике. Рассматриваются особенности нового метода привлечения инвестиций — первоначального размещения токенов (ICO — Initial coin offering). Отмечается образование в современной экономике и ее финансовой сфере нового сектора с элементами самоорганизации на основе применения продуктов ИТ-технологий. Подчеркивается необходимость правового обеспечения эмиссии и оборота криптовалют. Утверждается полное отсутствие денежных функций у золота и разъясняются причины его накопления государствами. Дается оценка перспектив сосуществования современных денег и криптовалют. Делаются выводы о том, что прекращение выполнения золотом функций денег в ХХ в. является фактом окончательным и не подлежит сомнению. Мир вещественных денег остался в прошлом. Современный мировой рынок золота существует только благодаря Вашингтонскому соглашению по золоту от1999 г., возобновляемому каждые пять лет. В мировой экономике предстоит преодолеть еще сложный период приспособления криптовалют в качестве новых инструментов к функционированию в мире кредитных денег и ценных бумаг.
