This question has been in the mouth of newbies including people in the crypto industries.
With everything happening in the cryptocurrency space, we wouldn’t be shocked if the question is being spilled out now or whenever.
This article will answer this question and give a few reasons to back up the answer.
What are Cryptocurrencies?
Cryptocurrencies are digital types of money that are decentralized and built on blockchains.
These currencies have been seen as better than fiat money since they are not centralized and they are more secure.
While some countries including Egypt, Iraq, Qatar, Oman, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Bangladesh, and China have banned Cryptocurrencies, some other countries are still leaving quiet on it.
On the 5th of February 2021, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) released a circular to prohibit banks and other financial institutions from any transactions with cryptocurrency exchanges.
The circular also gave go-ahead to all banks and other financial institutions to block the accounts of any user that was found wanting.
China’s crypto ban happened in different phases. Firstly it prohibited financial institutions from engaging in any crypto transactions in May. Secondly, it stopped all domestic crypto mining in June and finally banned anything cryptocurrencies in September 2021.
All these happenings would bring the above question to your lips, WILL CRYPTO SURVIVE THE FUTURE?.
I will say Cryptocurrencies will survive the Future for the following reasons:
- Hedge over inflation and crisis: Bitcoin has been seen as the digital gold for its hedge value over inflation. Bitcoin has been able to withstand inflation even when fiat currencies are depleting. Cryptocurrencies are neutral, and cannot be confiscated when crossing borders, unlike other currencies. Secondly, your fiat account can be frozen even without your notice, but cryptocurrencies are not centralized, so you have control and fully own your money.
- Technology Advancement: Cryptocurrencies are built on a strong technology called a blockchain. The world itself is accepting a series of technology at the moment and even for the future. As the world keeps moving to the trend of technology, Cryptocurrencies will always find their way to be around or inside any new technology that is striving. After the introduction of blockchain, many platforms are trying to utilize innovation. Since cryptocurrency is one of the core products of blockchain, as blockchain technology continues to enter the mainstream, so will cryptocurrency strive.
- The use case factor: I will always use BITCOIN as a reference because it is the first cryptocurrency that was created by an anonymous person or group of people name SATOSHI. Since the creation of BITCOIN, the advantages as discussed in our formal article cannot be over-emphasized. Where you have every control of your money, decentralized digital money, and its store of value factor. Everyone loves what solves problems, so as crypto keeps solving problems it will withstand the storms of time. Bitcoin and its use case will be discussed below.
- Metaverse: The metaverse is a digital world built on advanced technology as disclosed by Facebook’s CEO. The metaverse has been existing but immediately after facebook’s CEO dropped a hint about it, the crypto World vibrated heavily. Cryptocurrency is a very important component in the metaverse, as there are rumors that fiat money will not be used in the metaverse but in crypto technology. A lot of Big Firms are embracing the metaverse for good. All these should tell you how solid cryptocurrencies are, in the present and in the future. Currently, a lot of crypto projects are evolving in other to solidify the virtual ecosystem where real people can interact with each other through gaming and other experiences. For example; MANA, SAND, AXS, and HERO COIN, are all metaverse cryptocurrencies and are basking strong in value. Since cryptocurrency and blockchain are part of the upholding factors of the metaverse, the crypto space will continue to grow stronger as the metaverse transitions into the mainstream.
- NFTs: Non-Fungible Tokens have been taken to the next level through the crypto space. NFT represents digital assets being minted on crypto blockchains to give originality.
