Into The Walls Of Cryptocurrency, The Good, The Bad And The Ugly Side

Everything in this universe has its ups and down (good and Bad sides) to be precise. Well, the same thing is applied to the Cryptocurrency space.

Cryptocurrency, as we all know is a digital currency that operates independently from a Central bank based on blockchain technology. Cryptocurrency market is driven by Speculators, especially Bitcoin. Most Cryptocurrency traders always look at the bright side (Good) of Crypto coins whilst ignoring the other sides (Bad and Ugly) when trading.

Will, it is advisable to check all sides (Good, Bad and the Ugly) before trading. Just relax as we dive into the walls of Cryptocurrency.  

First and foremost, the Good side. Cryptocurrency has been in the system for some time now. The question is what makes it so special? is it its characteristics and the ability to make transactions so simple and efficient. Just as the former member and Chairman of Overstock.com, Jonathan Johnson indicated that crypto does indeed make doing business easier.

In terms of speed in relation to transactions (withdrawal). The processing speed of real money at the bank is very slow compared to cryptocurrency since it has to go through a lot of processing like account verification (signature, id verification, etc.) With Cryptocurrency, since crypto miners are always active.

Withdrawing your Cryptocurrency is easy, fast and reliable.

Crypto coin such as XRP has the fastest and secure blockchain. It has an average of 1,700+ TPS which speeds up transactions. There are other Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin cash, Litecoin and many more with high speed that makes business easier as said above.

When withdrawing real money from a bank using a credit card. The processing fee is much higher than that of Cryptocurrencies. Most Cryptocurrency wallets such as ebitpoint and coinbase transactional fee are much lesser and very fast to process.

In short, Cryptocurrency has a neutral and standardized confirmation policy supported by software with no third party involved.

The Bad side of Cryptocurrency has a negative effect on society in general. As youth nowadays are now Crypto addict. Especially the get rich type, since all they think about is getting rich by investing without any advice from an expert.

Mining Cryptocurrency requires a lot of power (electricity). The amount of power drawn during mining is very massive. Aside from causing financial loss to the state it also generates a large amount of pollution (noise pollution).

It can be used worldwide and very difficult to trace, especially in darknet where all illegal activities go on and the major mode of payment is mostly via Cryptocurrency.

I hate to tell you that Cryptocurrency has an ugly side. Yes, an ugly side. As technology grows, Cryptocurrency crime grows alongside. Crypto crime has been in crypto space since the invention of Cryptocurrency, which has attracted all sort of crypto criminal activities such as money laundering (Allowing money that was used by criminal activity and using that to buy Cryptocurrency in other to hide the link).

ICO scam (scammers baiting crypto investors into sending coin or token to unknown address with huge returns and bosting as leaders of certain companies), illegal pornography, weapons, and other illicit commodities.

Volatility is the well-known ugliest side of Cryptocurrency. That is the instability of prices as a result of a vast array of factors. For example, China, Japan, and the United States hold the largest Cryptocurrency in the world. If their government decides to ban its citizens from the use of Cryptocurrency out of their system, the price of Cryptocurrency will fall drastically. The price of Cryptocurrency can be $5000 and in the next 10 seconds, it will rise to $5900 or fall to $ 3000 due to market activities.

As a crypto enthusiast, it is my advice for all Crypto traders to get worried as everything has its ups and down in relation to crypto space. But no need to panic, the rate at which the price of Cryptocurrency is rising is good for business.
