FinancialCentre Broker Says Despite The Volatility, Cryptocurrencies Will Continue To Grow In Popularity
London, UK, 3rd Jan 2022, ZEXPRWIRE, Bitcoin, the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, has been around since 2009. Since then, a number of other cryptocurrencies have been created, often referred to as “altcoins.” Cryptocurrencies are digital or virtual tokens that use cryptography to secure their transactions and to control the creation of new units.
FinancialCentre broker Troy Deloitte says Cryptocurrencies are often traded on decentralized exchanges and can also be used to purchase goods and services. Bitcoin, for example, is accepted by some online retailers and can also be traded for other cryptocurrencies or traditional currencies like US dollars.
The popularity of cryptocurrencies has surged in recent years, with their combined value reaching over $600 billion in December 2017. However, their value has since fallen and as of December 2021, their combined value is about $200 billion.
Despite the volatility, there are a number of reasons to believe that cryptocurrencies will continue to grow in popularity. They provide a way to transfer money securely and anonymously, they can be used to avoid taxes and regulations, and they offer a way to invest in digital assets.
Many cryptocurrencies have a limited supply of tokens, which gives them an inherent value and serves as a main factor in their price fluctuations. These currencies tend to be more volatile than traditional currencies, but they can still provide a viable way for businesses and individuals to transfer money across borders at a relatively low cost.
Cryptocurrencies are also being explored as an alternative form of currency by central banks around the world. The Israel’s central bank, and Sweden’s Riksbank all currently offer proposals or research that study the possibility of introducing digital fiat currency.
In particular, Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is seen as a way for governments to make up lost ground issues like data protection and personal property rights.
Despite the popularity of cryptocurrencies, they are not without their problems. Their decentralized nature means that governments cannot regulate them as easily, and because transactions are anonymous it is hard for law enforcement to track user activity. Cryptocurrency exchanges have also been hacked in recent years, resulting in millions of dollars’ worth of digital tokens stolen.
Additionally, if central banks choose to create their own cryptocurrencies, this could pose a threat to decentralized currencies like Bitcoin.
Although cryptocurrencies continue to evolve and adapt, traditional fiat currency will probably remain the primary way businesses and individuals transact for some time. However, there are increasing numbers of businesses allowing payments with both types of currency, potentially providing customers with more options when it comes to spending their money.
As of December 2021, the most popular cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, Ripple, and Litecoin.
Cryptocurrencies are digital or virtual tokens that use cryptography to secure their transactions and to control the creation of new units.
Some of the top cryptos for December 2021 are:
Bitcoin’s BTC
Bitcoin dropped to 7th place and is currently trading at $53,569.76 according to a recent study by Asset Dash which compares cryptocurrency market capitalizations of reputable companies like Tesla or Amazon against one another in order for investors can decide what they want their investments doing accordingly (i.e., short term vs long-term).
Bitcoin broke all time highs during November when it surpassed $1T worth but hasn’t seen much success since then as its been overtaken in ranking – dropping down below#6 on our list while Elon Musk’s Tesla takes over the 5 spots.
Polkadot’s DOT
Polkadot is a blockchain protocol that allows the transfer of any data or asset type across different blockchains. The first auction was won by Acala, who are developing DeFi on top of Polkadot with $1 billion worth in DOT tokens staked as collateral for future projects they wish to embark upon within this space – giving them an advantage over other would-bide competitors!
Sandbox’s SAND
The Sandbox blockchain-based virtual world is a place where users can create, build and trade digital assets in game form. This innovative platform combines aspects of decentralized organizations (DAO), non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to offer gamers an incredible gaming experience with no limits! The first 5 thousand people that were chosen got their chance at 30 days worth on November 29th as part of our inaugural play2earn event which ends December 27th – don’t miss out if you’re looking for ways make money while exploring this exciting new system!
The SAND token continues its climb towards an all-time high, with more investors getting into the game following Facebook’s announcement that they will be changing their name to metaverse. The Polkadot native DOT is up 3% as we write this report and currently trading at $42.90 per coin; there’s still plenty left over from last year where you could buy one coin for less than 1 cents!
