For many people, the concept of digital currency is a mystery. But there is no doubt that digital currency is different from virtual currency
At the same time, digital currency is different from electronic payment. In the actual use experience, digital money and electronic payment may feel similar, but they are still quite different in essence. Before digital currency, the financial instry has been highly informationized. Such as Internet banking, WeChat, Alipay and so on pay the popularization of electronic technology, physical cash accounts for only a very small part of the total circulation of money. In spite of this, because the money used in the transaction comes from the bank account, it actually corresponds to the banknotes digital currency is an index character RMB, which is a legal encrypted digital currency. It is not only a payment tool, but also a currency. It is essentially different from Alipay and WeChat payment. P> Alipay, WeChat payment and mobile phone banks are all electronic money, is not digital money. These are all payment methods based on electronic accounts, which are in essence just a process of informatization of legal currency, not digital currency in a strict sense. Moreover, it is completely different from q-coin and bitcoin commonly referred to as q-coin and bitcoin, all belong to virtual currency. Compared with digital currency, the most fundamental difference lies in the difference of issuers virtual currency is the electronization of illegal currency, the issuer is not the central bank, and it can only circulate in a specific virtual environment, such as online game currency, which is mainly used for the purchase of virtual goods, but generally does not have security, so virtual trading platforms, such as smart star Witkey, XX one, XX eight, etc., are designed to provide secure trading protection.

Because of the advantages of convenient and fast payment, eliminating counterfeit money, no change and so on, it is loved by many people< The Ministry of Commerce issued the "overall plan for the pilot project of deepening the innovation and development of service trade in China", and officially announced that the number of digital currency has expanded from the original 4 pilot cities to 28 , which means that digital currency is coming towards us. The same virtual currency and bitcoin, so these virtual currency can replace the status of paper money
Therefore, it is essentially no different from the paper currency RMB, and will not be wildly hyped like bitcoin. In a short period of time, virtual currency can not completely replace traditional currency. There are mainly two constraints: the first is the user's will, not everyone is used to this payment method; the second is the satisfaction of technical conditions, because the speed of transaction payment is mainly limited by the technical realization, and the goal of digital currency is only to replace part of the cash in circulation. So for a long time, it should be used in parallel with banknotes
