电子货币,这个信息时代的衍生产品,它的运气似乎远不如它的孪生兄弟们。在电子化货币方面的早期曾经进行过一些努力。但是,在市场运做上来看,这些努力似乎都付之东流了。电子化货币商务的先锋 Digicash 去年遭到惨败,并宣告破产;First Virtual 退出在线电子货币市场;而 CyberCash 的CyberCoin 投入市场之后,用户反应冷淡……这所有的一切,使得人们下由得怀 E-money, the derivative product of this information age, seems less luck than its twin brothers. There have been some efforts in the early days of e-currency. However, in terms of market operations, these efforts seem to have been lost. Digicash, the vanguard of e-money business, was defeated last year and declared bankruptcy; First Virtual withdrew from the online e-currency market; and CyberCash’s CyberCoin came into the market, the users responded with indifference... All of this made people happier.
