Strive for

Progress,
Not Perfection
Siddhant's Journal Entry on
cryptocurrency research

Most of the interest in Bitcoin is associated with the age of


information, a new economy in which the Internet strives to disrupt
the way we interpret the world and behave in it. By the same token,
Bitcoin's collection of technological properties can dramatically
change our economy as well. Furthermore, it is important to
underline that given that the conceptual foundation of digital
currencies is attributed to Information Technology, a lagged interest
was given to the research about the definition and scope from an
economical point of view. On this matter, recently many authors
have been studying the impact Bitcoin can exert on financial markets
and fiat money. As Franco (2014)
argues, whether the value of Bitcoin has a future within our economy
or not relies on the forces driven by its application. Bitcoin as well as
alternative coins (Altcoins) has been
vastly criticized due to its declared rejection of a centralized financial
system, deriving to the inability of countries' central authorities to
exert control over situations such as levy cash
movements, money laundry and fighting illegal activities, among
other issues.
Though it doesn't have any intrinsic value or physical form,
Cryptocurrency offers a secure means of money, as it is digitally
secured using cryptographic sequences and techniques. In other
words, Cryptocurrency is safe, secure, fast and global. As much as we
may think of Cryptocurrency as 'the ideal currency', it does have its
drawbacks, major one being its regulation and stability.
Bitcoins can be formed in only one way- by solving a cytological
problem in the Cryptographic Bitcoin network. The one who solves
the cytological problem the fastest is rewarded with newly formed
Bitcoins.
