The cryptocurrency market has undergone vigorous achievements with 14 million Bitcoin in circulation. Which key elements contributed to this success?

In recent years, cryptocurrency, like Bitcoin, has proved its value, with approximately 14 million Bitcoins currently in circulation. Most of the present market capitalization has been driven by investors speculating on the prospects of this new technology. This currency is expected to continue until a certain level of price stability and market acceptability. 

Bitcoin investors appear to be depending on a supposed "inherent value" of cryptocurrencies in addition to the proclaimed price. This encompasses the technology and network, as well as the cryptographic code's integrity and the network's decentralized nature.

Moreover, the blockchain public ledger technology (which underpins cryptocurrencies) has the potential to disrupt a wide range of transactions.  How do cryptocurrencies invade the financial market?

The road to expanding the influence of cryptos

The bitcoin market, in our opinion, is expected to evolve at a fast speed dictated by the main participants, with expected growth spurts of legitimacy from one or more of these participants in what we refer to as "credentialing moments." Each of the five primary markets like consumers, tech developers, investors, financial institutions, and regulators have played a role in the industry's next phase of evolution toward sustained expansion.

Consumers and merchants

Cryptocurrencies recommend consumers a cheaper and faster peer-to-peer payment option than traditional money services without submitting personal information. While cryptocurrencies are gaining acceptability as a payment method, price volatility and the potential for speculative investments drive people to trade bitcoin rather than utilize it to buy products and services.

In the 2015 Consumer Cryptocurrency Survey, just 6% of respondents said that they knew cryptocurrencies. We expect customer familiarity to grow as they have access to new offers and services that aren't available through traditional payment methods. Cryptocurrencies minimize transaction costs and cut down volatility risk due to near-instantaneous settlement, and eliminate the prospect of chargebacks.

Technology developers 

Many competent software engineers have concentrated their efforts on cryptocurrency mining, while others have pursued more entrepreneurial endeavors such as building exchanges, wallet services, and alternative cryptocurrencies. The cryptocurrency sector, in our opinion, has just recently begun to attract talent with the breadth, depth, and market focus required to take the industry to the next level. 

Consumers and businesses use cryptocurrencies as a user-friendly solution to their everyday transactions to attain general support. In addition, the sector has to create cybersecurity processes and technologies. IT engineers tend to invent new things that ensure the security of data records from fraud or hackers. 

Investors

Investors tend to be optimistic about the potential of cryptocurrencies and cryptography in general. The underlying technology's "inherent value," as stated above, provides these investors cause to be optimistic. As a result, several of the established cryptocurrency businesses have just gained the attention of institutional investors and Wall Street.

Finance institutions 

Traditionally, banks have served as a conduit between those who have money and those who require it. However, in recent years, the role of the intermediary has dwindled, and disintermediation in the banking industry has accelerated. The growth of Internet banking, growing consumer use of alternative payment methods like Amazon gift cards, Apple Pay, and Google Wallet, and advancements in mobile payments have all contributed to this.

Regulators

In the categorization, handling, and legality of cryptocurrencies, government perspectives vary throughout the world. Regulations change at various rates in different parts of the world, which makes numerous burdens on accomplishing the transactions. The delay periods during the clarifications of documents and bills are shortened thanks to blockchain technology or cryptocurrency. 

Opening a new financial era 

In conclusion, cryptocurrency marks the start of a new era of technology-driven markets that enables the disruption of traditional market tactics, long-standing corporate practices, and established regulatory viewpoints, all to the advantage of consumers and macroeconomic efficiency. Cryptocurrencies have the potential to provide consumers with unprecedented access to a global payment system.
