at present, digital currency is more like an investment proct, because it lacks a strong guarantee agency to maintain its price stability, and its role as a value measure has not yet appeared, so it can not be used as a means of payment. As an investment proct, digital currency cannot develop without trading platform, operating company and investment company
digital currency is a double-edged sword.

definition of digital currency:

encrypted digital currency generally refers to bitcoin, Ethereum, lightcoin, DCT and other open source currencies.
in the past, we used precious metals as currency. Because precious metal proction is not high, the speed of new money increase is limited, and the economy is growing, the market needs more money to let the goods flow as much as possible. There is value when there is demand. In this sense, the value of precious metals in making other things is secondary. The economy needs money to circulate goods, and this demand is the main one. However, if the proction of precious metals is limited, and the precious metal currencies in circulation will withdraw from the market for various reasons, then even the newly made precious metal currencies have the same or even higher value
why does bitcoin keep its value? BTC (short for bitcoin) exists in a huge P2P network. Bitcoin group has recognized an algorithm. Under current conditions, only about 6 new BTCs will be generated per hour. At present, there are 50 new BTCs in each group. That is to say, in this world, only about 300 BTCs are generated per hour. This output will also be limited by the difficulty automatically adjusted by the network. You can't speed up money proction by modifying everyone's client algorithm and parameters (client is open source). Counterfeit currency will be discarded by the network (unless you can control most of the network nodes)
what is the value of BTC itself
the value of BTC is the trading channel itself. A new set of BTCs provides a mathematical guarantee to transfer old BTCs from one account to another. The price behind this security guarantee is a lot of computing power. It takes a lot of energy to proce such a safe passage, so the whole BTC user group will reward the mint (currently 50 BTC), which will become 25 BTC after December 2012, and it will be halved every four years
to put it simply, my understanding is that all BTCs in the world are generated by the energy of running computers. Their total value (up to now, there are about 12W groups of BTCs proced, 50 in each group, and the market price is about US $7.3), should be less than the total market value of consumed energy. However, I think most of the energy used to proce BTC is wasted resources< br />4
