After human civilization enters interstellar civilization, will paper money still exist?

With the continuous advancement of human science and technology, the pace of space exploration has accelerated in recent years. The United States has launched a new Mars probe. It is expected that the United States will launch a new astronomical telescope this year, and China also plans to launch a new astronomical telescope this year. At the end of the year, Chang'e 4 was launched again to explore the far side of the moon.

Although humans have just stepped into the universe and are still far from a true interstellar civilization, I believe this day will not be too far away. One day in the future, when humans have a universe that can truly conduct interstellar navigation spaceship, then human beings have entered a real interstellar civilization. At that time, people's eyes were on the stars and the sea, and they drove their own small spaceships to explore the universe to find treasures. Travel companies also opened space travel, and people could take spaceships to go there. Sightseeing tours to other planets in the universe and appreciate the elegance of alien planets.

Whether it is modern civilization or future interstellar civilization, currency is indispensable. After entering interstellar civilization, transactions will become more frequent, so now there is a problem: today's currency is mainly paper money , people buy and sell things, and transactions are still dominated by banknotes. So when humans enter interstellar civilization in the future, will they still be dominated by banknotes?

This issue is a topic worthy of study. The editor will share his opinion. The editor believes that paper money will gradually fade out of people's sight in the future, and electronic money will slowly replace paper money. Nowadays, when we do daily transactions, we use paper money less often. Whether it is shopping in the mall or other consumption, credit cards, WeChat payment, and Alipay payment have become mainstream.

After entering interstellar civilization, market transactions are no longer limited to the earth. When humans immigrate to other planets, it will be very troublesome if people's transactions are still settled with paper money. In the future, ID cards will also be related to It’s different now. Today’s ID cards are faked in various ways and can easily be impersonated by others. This will not happen in the future. In interstellar civilization, everyone’s ID card is an electronic card, bound to their DNA. People All personal information such as your travel, bank account, etc. are in this electronic card, and your DNA must be verified for each transaction. The transaction terminal will automatically scan. If it is found that the cardholder’s DNA is different from the electronic card, it will Transaction refused.

Interstellar civilization’s transactions are dominated by virtual currency. Whether people buy things or make other transactions of large or small amounts, they all conduct transfers between each other, and banks will no longer issue banknotes. All your money exists in the form of electronic money.

Someone may ask, will banknotes completely disappear in the future? The answer is no. In the future, banknotes will be more of a collection, and their value will be higher. If banknotes are not circulated in the market, banknotes will become like antiques.

After humans enter interstellar civilization, they have the ability to travel far. After leaving the solar system, they will find that it is not that there are no alien civilizations, but that they exist in large numbers. The Milky Way has a market for civilization transactions. At this time, with alien civilization What will the star transaction be based on? Bartering for things is too primitive. It is estimated that transactions between civilizations will not be like this. There may be a universal currency among interstellar civilizations. Will there be an organization like the United Nations in the Milky Way? It was established by several powerful civilizations in the galaxy, formulated some laws and regulations, and also issued a unified currency. This currency can be used as a transaction between interstellar civilizations.

The above are some of the editor’s own opinions. The universe is too big, and there are no alien civilizations. The reason why humans have not discovered them yet is because our current technological capabilities are limited. The only way to get out of the solar system and go to the Milky Way is Only in the center can it be possible to discover a large number of interstellar civilizations, and that is where the Milky Way is prosperous. I believe that one day, human beings will be able to travel to every corner of the universe, and human civilization will also enter the ranks of advanced civilizations in the universe and become a strong existence.
