Digital Currency

Digital currencies are Internet-based money. They are different from physical money (coins, banknotes) in that they don't have a physical manifestation in the real world. Instead, they are transferred between parties instantly, via online communication. Other than that, digital currencies perform similar functions to those of other forms of money. Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, are a prominent example of digital currencies.
