We have digital currency already though. It's called internet baking. I don't use much physical money anymore, almost all my spending is done with credit cards and when the month ends I just pay it with my digital banking account 

But these credit cards are backed by physical currency and transactions go through banks.

Then I don't understand what is the issue. The problem with physical currency is it's expensive to produce/print, but you don't need to print every piece of money traded. Most of money today are nothing more than a series of bits stored in traditional HD databases from banks, and those don't need such high energy consumption to keep
