Cryptocurrency adoption; the advantages and the hurdles.

Recommended Posts

      When (pseudonymous) Satoshi Nakamoto created bitcoin (which is considered the first cryptocurrency by the majority) in 2009 and presented (the white paper) to the public, there was whole lots of doubt on how a new system of completely decentralized digital currency based on 'mere' cryptographic proof would survive; can it be effective as the banking system (which is based completely on the trust of a third party)?. Several questions about the blockchain network and mechanism of operation of bitcoin (PoW) also popped up and presented to him. Although he (satoshi) tried to explain as much as possible, it was far from being totally convincing. Would bitcoin and blockchain technology be the key to financial breakthrough? Only time will tell.
 

Over the years
      Then (in the early days of bitcoin), the debate was based on its viability and survival considering previous similar centralized systems failures - doubt there was any speculation by anyone on if it would be widely accepted and recognized as a payment system or method. Well, maybe Mr. Nakamoto himself.

Few years after bitcoin had its value in 2010, perspectives changed (though, few investors still considered it a 'mere bubble') from being an untested/unrealistic project to prospective investments to many. As time progresses, adoption was growing organically, undeniably affected by several factors:


Decentralization as a major edge
      Rather than in a financial system, centrally controlled by a few groups of people or an institution and having a little control over personal funds, the decentralization of bitcoin and the privacy it brings provided a major headstart to its widening adoption. An opportunity to be the lone controller of one's savings isn't one that comes by often.
Satoshi was right all along - the centralization of previous similar systems was the main cause of their failures. The decentralization of the digital currency system was the key to financial freedom. 

 

Economy crises
      Venezuelans hit by hard-living conditions due to economic crisis and inflation have seen a haven in more 'investment reliable' bitcoin. Rather than holding the local currency, they would rather buy into bitcoin which saw the later hitting an all-time high trading volume in 2019 across the region.
      A survey carried out recently by Paxful shows more than 70% of participating Argentine believe cryptocurrency is a better investment and financial solution in the lingering economic crisis in the region. These and similar scenarios in other regions like Greece, Cyprus, and Zimbabwe have prompted the search for a solution to the financial crisis - in bitcoin. 
And relatively the bitcoin hasn't disappointed, becoming the top-performing assets over the last decade surpassing the stock market and US S&P 500. 


The lockdown effect
      Amidst lockdown and failing economies around the world as a result of a global health crisis, the cryptocurrency looks to be one of the biggest winners of it as its engagement multiplies rapidly in several folds across different regions. In those moments where contacts seems a lot risky, cryptocurrency was the perfect solution; transactions and payment of essential needs and services are done contactless without exposure to risks. It was also seen as an ideal source of income to already closed down businesses.

India, Russia, the US, and Ukraine are among the top countries with increased crypto trading and investment as a result of the pandemic. 


Blockchain games
      Apart from finance, massive interest in blockchain technology has emerged from the gaming industry in recent times, directly contributing to cryptocurrency usage. One of the earliest blockchain games, CryptoKitties is built on the Ethereum blockchain. CryptoKitties uses ERC-721 standard Non-Fungible Token (NFT) the in-game currency in the purchasing of kitties contributing more than 10% congestion to the ETH blockchain network in its early days in 2017.

As of this time, over 680000CK  has been sold, worth more than 60000 ETH (Data : Kitty sales)
Apart from in-app purchases, some blockchain games provide tradable cryptos as rewards to gamers for completing gaming tasks.

 

The setbacks
      Though there are lots of positives, the cryptocurrency road to adoption hasn't been a smooth one with lots of downs and challenges. From technical (scalability and complexity), security (cyber-attacks, fraud, and irregularities) to governmental regional restrictions and heavy taxes; just to mention a few. 
 

How will cryptocurrency make use of the advantages and overcome the hurdles? Do you think there will ever be a global adoption?

Yes @Raqeebzy there will be a big adoption in cryptocurrency despite all the challenges and the hurdles. Maybe this will happen because many new companies still accepting cryptocurrency as one of their payment systems. Imagine if Paypal will allow all their users to use crypto in their wallets, Paypal has more than 300M users who are active, I hope among them there will be many new crypto users because of PayPal... apart from PayPal, there are other companies too. So I hope companies and other business owners will help in boosting crypto users in the future.

The global effect  of corona make governments to think of legalization of cryptocurrency and  now working on it where the currently usage  is increases and in U. K 80% people's order online item. So the crypto currency can be use as a payment and can run smoothly but the biggest problem is hacking and control because over night anyone can become poor if the coin dump. So  the real journey of crypto hasn't started yet for me. The up coming challenges  will be more tough and we need to work through it ,to make digital  asset economy adopted society..

Cryptocurrency is very good both for a nation as well as the citizens because working in cryptoworld will enable citizens to have an alternative source of income and the nation will have opportunity to earn some tax from traders which will be in form of revenue which the country can use to support some projects.

That is true my friend because engaging in cryptoworld will make citizens self employed which will also reduce the rate of unemployment in the country and by that citizens can also sustain themselves financially.

A very good article and deserve recognition from us. I have to say about cryptocurrencies that they are first of all money. Money is what people think it is. We think that money right now is bills, paper fiat money. We also think it is numbers in our phones. Humanity always needed money to ease trade. So crypto is today the best and most modern money we have. It can be used for everything and it is not restricted by anybody. This is why it will succeed.

Bitcoin has not still reached the kind of adoption it deserves. It will be far more adopted and used in ways we don't even think right now. The rest altcoins are only following and do not have anything similar to Bitcoin, they lack decentralization and security, but Bitcoin will be very hard to be considered a currency as the system needs small inflation to keep the economies running. It can be used as hard money for big trades but not for everyday transactions and not for international trades. It will be difficult because it has a big price potential and everybody thinks price will be higher the next year so they limit investments and purchases to accumulate more Bitcoin. This will not be ideal for economies and development.

Yes, Bitcoin has not still reach the kind of adoption we expect but more people are participating in the system almost on daily basis within a few years to come it will be fully recognized and gain widely asoption Because of it numerous advantages.

I believe if we work well the administration will introduce more ways of earning in thebforu such as the signature campaign which will for sure enable us to earn more money in the forum while working because the administration are determined to make the forum a better place for everyone.

Cryptocurrency widespread adoption seems like a good idea enough for it to be rushed and implemented immediately but the world isn't ready for such a large scale change in financing. We need to be prepared

You are right @overkill11 I think still we are not prepared for large scale with cryptocurrency. There are many things need to be developed in cryptocurrency. For example the traceable transaction is indispensable there are many governments and institutions who are not ready to adopt Bitcoin because of the no traceable transaction. The idea is great but we need more times!

You are correct @Oxygen99 it is likely that the administration will introduce more ways of earning if we work hard in this forum. By working hard and creating useful content we will be helping the forum to progress so this will be very for the administration and they will give us more rewards as well.

I see my country is there and am so happy about that and so the good thing about this is that you still have to look at what is happening in the world , what necessitates the change of anything, look at so many things around, there are so many countries that are looking at this options look at what happening china,. so to me adoption may take some time , but when global leaders in every sector start taking it in then its going to really be something of beauty so we need to really be working as hard to really make sure that everything works as perfectly

I think that in the future, cryptocurrencies will be adopted mainly as a substitute for paper money. Countries will understand that the use of cryptocurrencies in their economic dealings is inevitable to keep pace with global development, but the total dependence of cryptocurrencies will face some difficulties that will disappear with the passage of time.

@Raqeebzy As the future is going towards digitalism, Crypto is best way for digitalisation of money. Public companies are investing in Bitcoin, Government like Iran is pushing miners to buy Bitcoin, PayPal is integrating Bitcoin custodial service which clearly shows the global adoption is happening very sooner. And this opportunity shouldn't be missed in my opinion.

And on blockchain the whole system could be redesigned and the possibilities are diverse, we will see more product based on them in future 😊.

    • Даа, часто так бывает, на что не верим, тот происходит). Думаю что серьезное изменение у биткоина связано с етф. Халвинг не так сильно влияет на цены биткоина, это мое мнение. Бнб конечно не сдается, он же 630$ был, пока биткоин же немного падал, после 73к, и он падал пропорционально.   
    • Также Аркхам и не только они, а очень много проектов не хило выстрелили именно из-за поддержки Бинанса и тут скорее всего будет тоже самое. А вот сможем ли мы попасть в тот список счастливчиков, пока что непонятно, хотя нужно дойти до минимального рубежа - 6-ой уровень.

    • Главный инвестиционный директор Bitwise Мэтью Хоуган заявил, что институциональные инвесторы, вложат в биткойн до 1 триллиона долларов через биржевые фонды (ETF), поскольку они постепенно переходят в криптовалюту. В записке, разосланной инвестиционным экспертам, Хоуган выразил обеспокоенность по поводу волатильности цен на биткойн. Поскольку актив колеблется от 60 до 70 тысяч долларов, генеральный директор считает, что лучшая стратегия — «сохранять спокойствие и смотреть в будущее».   Несмотря на краткосрочные колебания, Хоуган выделил несколько ключевых предстоящих событий. К ним относятся халвинг и потенциальное одобрение спотовых биткойн-ETF такими крупными платформами, как Morgan Stanley или Wells Fargo . Хоуган подчеркнул, что текущие процессы комплексной проверки, проводимые инвестиционными комитетами и консультантами, являются важным шагом перед совершением инвестиций в биткойны. Он упомянул, что в ожидании этих событий цена Биткойна может испытать боковое движение в ответ на незначительные изменения настроений. Тем не менее, Хоуган с оптимизмом смотрит на будущее Биткойна, ссылаясь на устойчивый бычий рынок с ростом почти на 300% за последние 15 месяцев и веские причины для дальнейшего роста.   Январское одобрение спотовых биткойн-ETF значительно открыло рынок криптовалют для профессионалов в области инвестиций. Хоуган считает, что это знаменует собой начало интереса со стороны профессионалов, управляющих триллионами долларов, и этот процесс займет годы. Он также подчеркнул приток $12 миллиардов в ETF с момента их запуска, назвав это самым успешным дебютом ETF. Тем не менее, он ожидает, что глобальные управляющие активами, выделяющие всего 1% своих портфелей в биткойны, могут привести к притоку в 1 триллион долларов, в результате чего первоначальные 12 миллиардов долларов кажутся минимальными инвестициями. Ранее в марте Хоуган предположил, что спотовые ETF Ethereum могут привлечь больше активов, если будут запущены после мая. Учитывая более осторожный прогноз относительно майского дебюта, он предположил , что декабрьский запуск может быть более выгодным. Задержка даст Уолл-стрит и традиционному финансовому сектору больше времени для понимания сложностей криптовалюты, особенно Биткойна. По оценкам Хогана, Уолл-стрит потребуется от восьми до девяти месяцев, чтобы приспособиться к биткойнам, прежде чем рассматривать новый ETF.
    • Hello, friends, I wanted to alert you all about my recent experience with an airdrop group named @Airdrop_Fam. Initially, everything seemed legitimate. They requested an advance payment for their services, which I thought was standard procedure. However, the situation took a turn for the worse when they began demanding additional funds to publish a post. When I resisted their sudden and unexpected demand, communication came to an abrupt halt; they completely ignored my messages. The person behind this scheme is the admin of the group, known as @Airdrop_FAM_Admin. At first, this individual appears cooperative and friendly, but don't be deceived – it's all a facade to extort more money from you. Please, I urge everyone to be cautious and steer clear of @Airdrop_Fam. The group is a sham, filled with no genuine participants. The admin is a charlatan through and through. Don't let yourself be their next victim! Stay safe and always do thorough research before engaging with such groups
