I think it's transfer of 0s and 1s over the wires that solves(*) the problem. Cryptocurrency is merely one example of such use, and a latecomer at that.
(*) Cryptocurrency also takes fraud and loss into the 21st Century at 'light speed', as they say. You have been following the cryptocurrency news in recent years, haven't you? You know, it's a bit like banks' use of digital transfers, but unregulated and with no recourse when fraudsters do their thing...
