The digital world is becoming more digital by the day. It's obvious that crypto currency is not going to be the only digital form of currency. This is indeed a welcome development from the financial perspective. We basically move about with our digital phones, so there is nothing wrong in carrying our banks about.

The key factor is how smoothly people can adapt to digital currency. I think that measures like 'zero transaction fees' will contribute to capturing the interest of many.
