Money


Digital currency (digital money, electronic money or electronic currency) is a type of currency available in digital form (in contrast to physical, such as banknotes and coins). It exhibits properties similar to physical currencies, but can allow for instantaneous transactions and borderless transfer-of-ownership.
Examples include virtual currencies, cryptocurrencies, and central bank digital currency. These currencies may be used to buy physical goods and services, but may also be restricted to certain communities such as for use inside an online game.
Digital currency is a money balance recorded electronically on a stored-value card or other devices. Another form of electronic money is network money, allowing the transfer of value on computer networks, particularly the Internet. Electronic money is also a claim on a private bank or other financial institution such as bank deposits.
Digital money can either be centralized, where there is a central point of control over the money supply, or decentralized, where the control over the money supply can come from various sources.

Money is a current medium of exchange in the form of coins and banknotes; coins and banknotes collectively.
Money is cash · hard cash · ready money · the means · the wherewithal · funds · capital · finances · (filthy) lucre · banknotes · notes · paper money · coins · change  
Money can be the assets, property, and resources owned by someone or something; wealth.
Money can signifies wealth · riches · fortune · affluence · assets · liquid assets · resources · substance · means · deep pockets · prosperity
Money is payment for work; salary · wages · remuneration · fee · stipend · emolument
With all the new forms of exchanging wealth for goods, what should you believe? Clicking on PayPal and inputting twelve coins, can you be sure to receive the prize? Pull the one-armed bandit and see what you get.
Who (or what) can you trust?
Should you just put a run on the bank and store all the paper under your mattress? Should you believe your financial institution would protect your assets? Should you believe in this new invisible money and hope the check doesn’t bounce?
Accustomed to paying for groceries with an insert of a debit card and not carrying any cash has been adjustment but easily adaptable to the new way of paying for items. No phone apps, but some scanner remote tool must be used to conform with the 21st generation of purchasing consumer abilities.
Can only wait until the next configuration of payment is given as an option and then the only method for paying bills.
I dropped by four stamped envelopes filled with handwritten checks into the post box today hoping they will reach their destination on time. I’ll check my account online.
