    D digital currency interpretation:
    To.
    D digital currency is an uncontrolled, digital currency. It is usually issued and managed by developers and is accepted and used by members of a specific virtual community. The European Banking Administration defines virtual currency as: digitalization of value, which cannot be issued by the central bank or the authorities or linked to the fiat currency.
    D digital currency can be considered a virtual currency based on node networks and digital plus algorithms.
    The core features of digital currencies are mainly reflected in three aspects: ① Since the digital currency is not issued by some open algorithms, no one or institution can control its distribution; ② due to the number of algorithms solved OK, so the total amount of digital currency is fixed, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of inflation caused by virtual currency abuse; ③ Since the transaction process requires the recognition of each node in the network, the transaction process of digital currencies is safe enough.

Although it belongs to a broad virtual currency, it is essentially different from the virtual currency issued by online companies, so it is called digital currency. From the aspects of distribution subject, scope of application, distribution, storage form, circulation method, credit guarantee, transaction costs, transaction security, etc., digital currencies are compared with electronic currencies and virtual currencies.

These changes may have potential effects on market infrastructure outside the retail payment system, such as a large payment system, a securities settlement system or a trading database.
