摘要
网络社会的崛起,虚拟货币蓬勃发展。长期以来虚拟货币与电子货币概念不分,造成法律规制困难。虚拟货币与电子货币都是一种以电子数据的形式存在的电子支付工具,但是在发行主体、回赎性上存在着本质差别,也并非一个完全意义上的"预付价值产品",因此必须在电子货币概念之外独立构建一个虚拟货币概念。
With the advent of net -society, virtual currency is playing a more and more important role in our daily life. However, the concepts of virtual currency and electronic money are often confused by people, giving rise to the difficulty of legal regulation. Though they are both electronic paying means as the form of electronic data, they have different issue subjects and they are different in redemptive quality; and virtual currency is not prepaid value products in a whole sense, so it＇s necessary for us to build general notions of virtual currency independent of the concept of electronic money.
