| This study aims to open insights to the Indonesian people, especially readers, about the potential for digital economic growth in Indonesia as a new economic source that can be broadly developed to become a new area of economic growth for the community as well as land for the country's foreign exchange-earners if it is processed carefully. by the government itself. However, we need to know; there are still many obstacles that must be faced by Indonesia in the development of the digital economy in Indonesia itself. Lack of education and training regarding technology such as the internet, computers, and other digital technologies for the public can hinder the development of the digital economy in Indonesia itself. In this paper, we will discuss these two problems and how to solve them. First, there needs to be participation from the community itself to develop themselves in learning skills in using electronic media such as computers, the internet, and building simple websites. Second, the government also needs to have a vision for the future, especially in seeing the opportunities for the development of the digital economy in Indonesia. One way to do this is by making regulations related to the use and operation of the digital economy. So, when the digital economy has begun to develop, the government can solve the problems that exist in it. Why are we optimistic in discussing the digital economy?
