digital currency can be used to describe all electronic currencies, including virtual currency and cryptocurrency. Digital currency is a kind of electronic currency without any physical form. Because of its functions and inherent attributes, it is the same as the standard illegal fixed currency, and can also be referred to as the network version of cash. Digital currency is invisible. People need to use and hold it through devices that can be connected to a specific network

there are platform coins in the coin circle, corresponding to HT, BNB, MX

3. The world's first digital currency was invented and issued by David Chaum, known as the father of digital currency. As a mathematician, cryptographer and computer expert, he began to study how to make digital currency in the late 1970s. Digital currency is a kind of currency existing in the form of electronic number, which is an electronic flow of information transmitted on the network through the circuit composed of 0 and 1. Compared with the traditional real currency, i.e. paper money and coins, digital currency has obvious advantages: traditional currency has greater storage risk, expensive transportation costs, and requires a lot of investment in security and anti-counterfeiting. Digital currency is different from e-currency such as credit card and e-check. It has higher level and higher technology content. It can be used without connecting to the bank network and is very convenient for customers. By the end of 1995, as more and more users of the digital currency invented by JOM, it was accepted by a bank called Mark Twain, enabling it to convert to the real deposits in the user's account
network virtual currency can be roughly divided into
the first category is familiar game currency. In the era of stand-alone games, the protagonist accumulates money by knocking down the enemy, entering the gambling house to win money, and using these to buy Herbs and equipment, but it can only be used in his own game console. At that time, there was no "market" between players. Since the establishment of Internet portal and community, the realization of game networking, virtual currency has a "financial market", players can trade game currency
the second type is the special currency issued by the portal website or instant messaging service provider, which is used to purchase the services in the website. The most widely used is Tencent's q-coin, which can be used to purchase membership, QQ show and other value-added services
the third kind of virtual currency on the Internet, such as bitcoin (BTC), Wright currency (LTC), etc. bitcoin is an electronic currency proced by open-source P2P software. Some people also translate bitcoin as "bitcoin", which is a kind of network virtual currency. It is mainly used for Internet financial investment, and can also be directly used in daily life as a new currency.

4. Alipay and so on are only electronic payment methods. The money used in the transaction is coming through bank accounts, that is, the money in Alipay actually corresponds to a banknote, and the digital money is money. In the actual use experience, digital money and electronic payment may feel similar, but they are still quite different in essence
digital currency is also different from virtual currency. For example, the well-known Q coin and the money recharged in various games are virtual currency. These virtual currencies can only be purchased with real currency, but cannot be converted into real currency
in the world, bitcoin is probably the most famous digital currency. In addition, there are "Wright coin", "Dog Coin" and "Yuan Bao coin" in China.

5. It seems to be the same, but the name is different. I saw the digital currencies on the block navigation network, but they are not classified

6. Currency: in essence, it is a contract between the owner and the market about the right of exchange, and it is essentially an agreement between the owners. The essence of money contract determines that money can have different forms, such as general equivalent, precious metal money, paper money, electronic money and so on. Its basic function is the measure of value and the means of circulation—— Extracted from the Internet

fiat money: it means that it does not represent real goods or goods, and the issuer has not cashed the currency into physical obligation; A currency that becomes legal currency only by government decrees. The value of fiat money comes from the owner's belief that money will maintain its purchasing power in the future. Money itself has no intrinsic value, that is to say, when the paper money comes into being, legal tender is essentially the negotiable paper money stipulated by law

the legal currency of the people's Republic of China is RMB, and the people's Bank of China is the national authority in charge of the management of RMB, which is responsible for the design, printing and issuance of RMB—— From the Internet

e-money: in fact, it is the electronization of legal money, including our common bank card, online banking, e-cash, etc; There are also third party payments developed in recent years, such as Alipay and WeChat payment. No matter what the form of these electronic money is and through which institutions it circulates, its original source is the legal money issued by the central bank

virtual currency: virtual currency refers to non real currency, and its existing state is intangible. The most important difference between virtual currency and electronic currency in narrow sense is the difference of issuers. Virtual currency is the electronization of illegal currency, and its original issuer is not the central bank. For example, game currency, q-coin, and ticket counting are mainly limited to circulation in a specific virtual environment

digital currency: digital currency which applies the latest digital network technologies such as blockchain, has the characteristics of Distributed Accounting, unique encryption technology, decentralized settlement, etc. Of course, digital tools with these characteristics must be supported by national credit if they want to become sovereign currency or legal tender

therefore, digital currency must be currency; In today's social system, money must also be sovereign money or legal tender. Secondly, digital currency must have the basic attributes and main functions of currency.

7. In other words, the money used in the transaction comes from the bank account. In other words, the money in the bank account actually corresponds to banknotes, and digital currency is money. In the actual use experience, digital money and electronic payment may feel similar, but they are still quite different in essence
digital currency is also different from virtual currency. For example, we are familiar with the virtual currency and the recharge currency in various games. These virtual currencies can only be purchased with real currency, but cannot be converted into real currency
in the world, bitcoin is probably the most famous digital currency. In addition, there are "Wright coin", "Dog Coin" and "Yuan Bao coin" in China.

8. In the community, the general high-end is called cryptocurrency and digital currency, which is also a relatively academic name
virtual currencies are generally at the bottom, and many of them are pyramid schemes or funds
in fact, cryptocurrency, virtual currency and digital currency are the same, but they are called differently
at present, the mainstream digital currencies in the market include bitcoin, bitcoin cash, wikilink and so on.

The differences between e-money and virtual money are as follows:

1. Electronic money refers to using a certain amount of cash or deposit to exchange from the issuer and obtain data representing the same amount, or through the quick payment service launched by the bank and the third party to transfer the balance in the bank through some electronic ways, so that transactions can be carried out. Strictly speaking, it is a kind of currency that consumers use the bank's Internet banking service to store value and make quick payment to the issuers of electronic currency, and make consumers trade electronically through media (two-dimensional code or hardware equipment)

Virtual currency refers to non real currency. Well known virtual currencies, such as online currency of Internet company, q-coin of Tencent company, q-point and voucher of Shanda company, micro currency launched by Sina (used for micro games, Sina reading, etc.), chivalrous Yuanbao (used for chivalrous road game), silver grain (used for bixue Qingtian game), and popular digital currencies in 2013 include bitcoin, Laite coin, infinite coin, quark coin, zeta coin, etc Barbecue coins, pennies (Internet), invisible gold bars, red coins, prime coins. At present, hundreds of digital currencies are issued all over the world. Popular in the circle & quot; The legend of "bitcoin, Wright silver, infinite copper, pennies aluminum"

The detailed explanation of electronic currency is as follows:

1. Concept: it is an encrypted serial number representing cash, which can be used to represent the currency value of various amounts in reality. With the transformation from paper-based economy to digital economy, e-cash will become the mainstream

2. Features: anonymity, transaction cost saving, transmission cost saving, low holding risk, flexible and convenient payment, anti-counterfeiting and anti repetition, non traceability

There are two kinds of e-cash: one is based on the Internet and keeps the binary data representing the value of money in the hard disk of the computer terminal; One is the electronic wallet that keeps the monetary value in the IC card and can be circulated without the bank payment system

4. Definition: consumers pay traditional money to the issuers of electronic money, and the issuers store the equal value of traditional money in the electronic devices held by consumers in electronic form
