The advent of cryptocurrency could be the beginning of a new way to exchange value. This development can easily be associated with how email disrupted the post office. Email broke the post office’s value chain system since it introduced a new order where you could send a letter without a stamp. Similarly, cryptocurrency enables you to send or receive money without an intermediary. This bank-less system will ultimately do away with banks.
Unlike fiat currency, cryptocurrency cannot be debased by any government because it’s not tied to it. Even the governments cracking down on it are actually making it more valuable. Fiat currency can become worthless when a government gets replaced or falls apart. And it goes without saying that no government is immortal.
Regardless of how governments or investors feel about the impending switch from conventional currency to digital forms of currency, the wave of change is unrelenting.
