Before digital currency, the financial instry has been highly informationized.

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.

The issue of digital currency by the central bank also ensures the continuity of financial policy and the integrity of monetary policy, and also ensures the security of monetary transactions

although the issuing method of digital currency is still under study, paper currency has been regarded as "the currency of the previous generation" by some professionals, and it is the general trend to be replaced by new technology and new procts. Due to China's large population and volume, the timetable for issuing digital currency is still uncertain. It is predicted that digital currency and cash will be in parallel and graally replaced for quite a long time. When the era of digital currency really comes, people will carry less and less cash, travel more and more safe, poverty alleviation more and more accurate, corruption more and more difficult to escape, and thieves more and more difficult

Digital currency is an unregulated and digital currency, which is usually issued and managed by developers and accepted and used by members of a specific virtual community. The European Banking authority defines virtual currency as: the digital expression of value, which is not issued by the central bank or authorities, nor linked with legal currency, but because it is accepted by the public, it can be used as a means of payment, or can be transferred, stored or traded in electronic form. Digital currency can be considered as a virtual currency based on node network and digital encryption algorithm. The core characteristics of digital currency are mainly reflected in three aspects: first, e to some open algorithms, digital currency has no issuing subject, so no one or institution can control its issuing; ② Because the number of algorithm solutions is fixed, the total amount of digital currency is fixed, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of inflation caused by the overuse of virtual currency; ③ Because the transaction process needs the approval of each node in the network, the transaction process of digital currency is safe enough. The emergence of bitcoin poses a great challenge to the existing monetary system. Although it belongs to the generalized virtual currency, it is essentially different from the virtual currency issued by network enterprises, so it is called digital currency. This paper compares digital currency with electronic currency and virtual currency from the aspects of issuing subject, scope of application, issuing quantity, storage form, circulation mode, credit guarantee, transaction cost and transaction security.
