digital currency is different from the virtual currency in the virtual world, because it can be used for real goods and services transactions, not limited to online games. The early digital currency (digital gold currency) is a form of electronic currency named after the weight of gold. Today's digital currency, such as bitcoin, lightcoin and ppcoin, is an electronic currency created, issued and circulated by check sum cryptography. It is characterized by the use of P2P peer-to-peer network technology to issue, manage and circulate currency. In theory, it avoids bureaucratic examination and approval, so that everyone has the right to issue currency

Virtual digital currency countries are allowed
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. If the digital currency is successfully issued, in addition to the convenience of people's living and payment, it will also bring many benefits to the country, such as improving the transparency of economic transaction activities, and the significance of cross-border e-commerce trade can not be underestimated
It is obvious that digital currency is highly expected based on its "excellent gene". Instry insiders said that once digital currency comes out, it will be applied to many fields. 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
