according to Sohu Finance and Economics Report: the central bank recently said that the research on digital currency has achieved phased results, striving for the early issuance of digital currency
at present, major banks in many European and American countries and regions have publicly expressed their positive attitude towards the development of digital currency.

Although there must be an adaptation process from paper money to digital currency and the road of its reform will be very long, it can be seen that digital currency will inevitably form a development trend. Technological innovation will overcome the problems in reality. For example, if you go to a bank to do business now, if it doesn't involve cash, the lobby manager will recommend customers to ATM and other self-service equipment. This is a good proof that technological innovation has replaced labor in the past. Now mobile applications are also very simple. It can be predicted that the technology will continue to update in the future. The use of electronic channels, digital currency and other procts in the new era will become a trend, a trend that can not be reversed at present
