Not all electronic payments involve electronic money. For instance, credit cards or debit cards are not electronic money because no monetary value is stored on them; and store cards or internet-based currency (such as Bitcoins [13] or gaming money) are not electronic money because these are not widely accepted as a medium of exchange.
What is there definition of widely accepted? Bitcoin is accepted wider then any other electronic payment method, except credit cards.
