Evolving technology has had a huge impact on many aspects of our history and daily lives for centuries.
We’re transitioning from living in a Web 2.0 era, in which social media dominates screens, to Web 3.0, which will see the Internet based more on blockchain technology.
Some compare the rise of blockchain technology to the Internet’s breakthrough during the 1980s, while others argue that it’s only a passing fad. It was cryptocurrency, namely Bitcoin (BTC), and its miraculous potential for investing that has catapulted blockchain technology into the spotlight. The blockchain continues to revolve around cryptocurrency and its widespread adoption.
However, with over 19,000 altcoins in circulation, could it still only be a ‘passing fad’ if the market has become so vast and competitive? Let’s explore the real-world application that blockchain technology and cryptocurrency could have in mainstream society.
The Impact of Institutional Investors on Crypto
Blockchain technology is pretty experimental right now, and is used predominantly in niche communities, most notably in the cryptocurrency and NFT markets. However, towards the end of last year, following NFTs’ explosion, cryptocurrency surged in popularity and achieved mainstream appeal, which prompted large corporations to begin expanding into the space. These include household names like PayPal, Tesla and Block (formerly known as Square).
As a result, an increasing number of businesses are beginning to accept cryptocurrencies as a legitimate form of payment. These investments are assisting in laying the groundwork for how the financial world will look in the future.
The value of many cryptocurrencies have decreased significantly this year as a result of major investments and a variety of other factors. Many experts believe this is just the beginning. Retail investors have remained optimistic and bought assets during every significant downturn.
