In recent times, following dynamic development of various forms of e-business, dematerialized money has emerged. However, in constantly changing conditions it is very difficult to grasp the essence of the so called e-money or cryptocurrencies. The paper tries to define Bitcoin, one of the most recognizable cryptocurrencies, and answer the question whether investing in cryptocurrencies is a serious business or a mere gambling. In search for the answers, the author reviews literature on the topic and conducts his own risk analysis based on Value at Risk measure, of selected traditional currencies and Bitcoin. The results of the analysis unambiguously show that investments in Bitcoin are burdened with definitely much higher risk. Furthermore, conclusions of the considerations clearly show that despite growing popularity of cryptocurrencies they do not fulfill the definition of both electronic money or money in general. The paper attempts to discuss selected issues related to Bitcoin cryptocurrencies from the monetary point of view but also with respect to restrictions of Bitcoin as a means of payment, investments in Bitcoin and risk assessment.

Abstract: Electronic cash in Canada is moving from the developmental into the implementation phase. Mondex, a smart card-based electronic money system, began its most extensive field trial worldwide on February 13, 1997 in Guelph, Ontario, foreshadowing a Canadian nationwide roll-out. This paper introduces the basic concepts of electronic money and describes the Mondex system and the dynamics of its current test in detail. This provides the basis for an analysis of its social and political implications. Mondex raises interrelated questions of access, privacy, and the development of private currencies. We conclude that Mondex has a strong potential, but if the implementation is completely market driven there is a substantial danger of excluding whole segments of the population from a technology which is positioned to become a key element of the future technological infrastructure. The flexibility of the Mondex system creates a new, potentially significant threat to the individual's privacy. Electronic cash, by effectively introducing private currencies, contributes to the decrease of economic influence of the nation state's institutions vis-à-vis global financial institutions. The paper concludes by proposing starting points for the policy debate to develop an inclusive and privacy-safeguarding framework for implementing electronic cash in Canada. Résumé: L'argent électronique au Canada est en train de passer d'une phase de développement à une phase de mise en place. Mondex, un système d'argent électronique qui se fonde sur les cartes "intelligentes", a commencé les essais sur le terrain les plus vastes au monde le 13 février 1997 à Guelph en Ontario, présageant un élargissement de services à l'échelle du pays. Cet article introduit les concepts de base de l'argent électronique et décrit en détail le système Mondex et la dynamique des essais actuels. Cette description sert de fondement à une analyse des implications sociales et politiques du système. Mondex soulève des questions interreliées d'accès, de respect pour la vie privée et de développement de devises privées. Nous concluons que Mondex a beaucoup de potentiel, mais, si la mise en place dépend complètement du marché, il y a un danger significatif d'exclure des segments complets de la population d'une technologie qui pourrait devenir un élément clé de l'infrastructure technologique future. En outre, la flexibilité du système Mondex menace la vie privée des individus de manière potentiellement significative. L'argent électronique, en introduisant par le fait même des devises privées, contribue à diminuer l'influence économique des institutions de l'état-nation par rapport aux institutions financières globales. Cet article conclut en proposant des points de départ pour un débat favorisant une mise en place de l'argent électronique au Canada où l'on tient compte de questions d'accès et de respect pour la vie privée.
