very very laymans terms the average joe dont know the difference. but in some peoples minds virtual gives the impression of virtual reality = false reality.. thus giving people a uneasy mind when thinking about bitcoin being virtual (false). so i prefer to use the term digital, purely to avoid this subconscious thought entering peoples minds
