Abstract

The cryptocurrencies were designed to be medium of exchange. The blockchain technology on which cryptocurrencies are based on offers many possibilities for computer science and all future businesses. For the past decade experts as well as laypeople have been experiencing cryptocurrencies in extremes. They either have a very positive attitude or a very negative attitude towards them. Experts who have very positive attitudes towards them believe that cryptocurrencies create new ways of conducting business and new ways of trust relationships are managed. Experts who have very negative attitudes towards them often emphasize the fact that they are often linked to negative connotations such as being a tool for criminal activities or skipping social responsibilities such as tax avoidance and corruption. They also emphasize the fact that it is a new, unexplored technology and an unstable market. The blockchain technology on which cryptocurrencies are based on offers man possibilities for computer science and all future businesses. For the past decade experts as well as laypeople have been experiencing cryptocurrencies in extremes. There are more than 1,600 cryptocurrencies in circulation today, with a combined market cap of over 289 billion, according to Coin Market Cap data. Investors around the world are eager to trade in this rapidly growing space, and a slew of cryptocurrency platforms have emerged to meet the need for infrastructure to support the exchange of digital currencies. Though they call themselves exchanges, from an investors standpoint they function similarly to e brokerages and their rapid rise is reminiscent of the explosion of electronic discount brokerage firms during the dotcom bubble of the late 1990s.
