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

It is mainly used for Internet financial investment, and can also be directly used in daily life as a new 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
