What will be the future of cryptocurrencies?

by•

I will not say anything about Bitcoin. Let's talk more about the ecosystem of crypto coins. Do we truly understand the concept of it? Or are we going to take it as traditional money? (because a lot of us don't fully understand it, either)

well, crypto is the better form of traditional finance... but people need to understand it before they jump in... everything has its own learning and acceptance curve... crypto too is taking is own time to settle down in the minds and hearts of people

@andrewcanday Do you think the volatile nature of crypto will ever be totally accepted by masses?
Andrew C.
@alessandro_canella the inherent nature of the human race likes ''the hope of richness''... whether markets are stable, volatile or any other form... people want to get rich... if there is ''hope of richness'' in a snail race people will go ahead and put their money there. coming back to your question... as long as there is ''hope of richness'' the masses will happily accept crypto

Crypto currencies are basically better for valuing products and services because the currency value totally depends on demand and supply for that particular product or service. Today it depends on demand and supply for USD or EUR , which are influenced by millions of factors!
Alessandro Canella
@chetan_natesh Agree! But don't you think even supply and demand can get affected by millions of factors?

@alessandro_canella Let me share an example - imagine a crypto currency for coffee that can be used in any cafe across the world (unlike Euros which can mostly work only in Europe). The value of this coin will mostly depend on demand and supply for coffee which in turn depends on coffee bean yields. Apart from this not much impact should be seen in the demand and supply for coffee, which in turn means the price you pay with your crypto currency much more closely matches what you're buying in terms of value. But today where the dollar goes, all other value goes. The dollar value is also closely pegged to oil markets - this is where EVs come in - they have a much bigger role to play than just reducing emissions actually.

ahaaan... nice to crypto in the discussions

I think, as more people will understand how crypto works, the more effortless it will become to use it on a daily basis. Yet I feel we have a long way to go until it will become a widely-used payment method. However, the fact that more and more countries start accepting crypto, makes the situation much more positive
Alessandro Canella
@_valeria_ True! And with more acceptance more complexities will arrive too. Every nation would be ready to deal with their set of money management issues.

Bitcoin and ethereum are down more than 50% from their all-time highs in late 2021. While there have been small surges in recent weeks, the crypto market as a whole is largely stalled. While no one knows for sure, some experts say crypto prices could fall even further before any sustained recovery
Alessandro Canella
@ralph_hofmann Great insight! Do you think its all part of the extremely fluctuating price cycle seen before?
Philip Snyder
Probably going to get regulated tbh
Alessandro Canella
@philipsnyder Do you think crypto can be regulated to an extent that governments start using it in place of traditional money?
Richard Gao
I think they will eventually become a more widespread form of payment, especially when we get a stable one, but I have not seem to many developments in that area.

But the industry is only in its infancy and constantly evolving. That’s a big part of why every new bitcoin high can be easily followed by big drops.

Cryptocurrency fraud can have disastrous consequences for the victim. If you have made a payment or disclosed personal information, it is important to act quickly. A lot of scam information at www.cryptoscam.info. Cryptocurrency scammers often sell the obtained data to other cybercriminals. Thus, to prevent further damage, it is important to change names and passwords for all accounts.
Alessandro Canella
@oprah_ded Digital scams are the most significant loophole in trading cryptocurrencies, and I don't think there will ever be a conclusive end to it.
Kate Middle
I think it won't decrease

If you're thinking about investing in cryptocurrency, the next question to consider is whether it's right for you. In case you want to know more about the crypto license, go to this website https://rue.ee/. Everyone is different and no one can predict the future of blockchain technology. But there are some general principles to consider when making this important decision.

It's difficult to predict the future of cryptocurrencies, as they are still a relatively new and rapidly evolving technology. However, HarbergerToken is an interesting approach to creating a sustainable revenue stream for open source projects, which could potentially have a positive impact on the future development of the crypto industry. The HarbergerToken model allows open source project owners to create a unique token that is backed by transaction fees generated from their project, which can provide a long-term source of income for ongoing development. This could incentivize more developers to contribute to open source projects, which could in turn drive innovation and growth in the industry.
