Cryptocurrency and Bitcoin has bloomed since 2009, and still going upward.
Some commercial banks, including some investment banks, introduce their own cryptocurrencies for the purposes of settlements and transactions with certain financial institutions and corporations. At the moment, central banking is not interested in cryptocurrencies, but this may change in the future.
And it will definitely do.
To be honest, this can be gleaned on its value alone- which has been significantly blooming since 2012.
The acceptability of cryptocurrencies stem from the need of a p2p system where we eliminate the need for a third-party consensus in trust. It basically gives the people the power of decentralization in the transactions. Such revolutionary technology is bound to experience acceptance in the near future along with several countries integrating it onto their framework in the transactions.
I do believe that cryptocurrencies are indeed, the future of payments and transactions. The privilege of starting at this time gives us the opportunity to HODL and to invest so we can take advantage of its boom maybe again in the near future.
