Introduction
The global economic meltdown revealed the incapability of the traditional banking system to handle the matters of finance: it haphazard decisions and miscalculated risk-taking left the world at the cusp of total financial disaster.
However, in 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto launched the Bitcoin: a cryptocurrency backed by blockchain technology, with the aim to foster a decentralized peer-to-peer exchange and payment system that functions independent of central authourity.
Blockchain technology, guaranteed privacy of user and user's data, safety of funds and transparent exchanges in a decentralized environment, free from custodians and central authourity.
This provided an escape plan from the recession and ushered in a new era of banking known as DECENTRALIZED BANKING
Ten years down the line, Bitcoin has prompted the emergence of other cryptocurrencies, with blockchain technology addressing the financial duress of the world with it unique immutability, private and secure infrastructure which is a direct alternative to failing the traditional banking system.
BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY TRULY IS THE REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY
However, despite the massive feats recorded by cryptocurrencies in addressing the financial constraints of the world and providing an ecosystem for mistrusting peers to safely trade directly with one another without having to rely on a custodian to oversee the proceeds of the trade, it has yet left a lot to be desired.
Problems
There is no doubt that cryptocurrencies are a solution to the failing banking system. Cryptocurrencies offer so much in contrary to the politicization and monopoly that plague the banking systems due to governmental involvement.
Cryptocurrency exchanges are the point of entry to the cryptocurrency market. However, in recent times different pitfalls and constraints has plagued the exchange that has limited it's potential and would in the nearest future disrupt the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies.
Cryptocurrency exchanges require high technical know-how in order to interact sufficiently with it's ecosystem, coupled with its rigid requirements which do not allow for accommodation of more cryptocurrency projects and assimilation of new users.
Present cryptocurrency exchanges do not support industry development as they do not reward users for their involvement in their progress of the industry.
Although blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies boast of decentralization, most exchanges are centralised and take all decisions regarding addition and removal of tokens, which has a bad effect on the industry.
Decentralized VS Centralized Exchanges.
Decentralized exchanges are cryptocurrency market entry points, which do not store users private keys or data, the decision-making power is distributed to involved parties rather than with a central authourity.
It functions on a peer-to-peer system of exchange, rather than storing user funds on the exchange platform and transactions are not controlled by an escrow service or central authourity, they are entirely based on smart contracts.
Centralized Exchanges involves intermediaries or escrows, which act as middlemen to facilitate trading on a cryptocurrency platform in exchange for payments known as trading fees.
Centralized exchanges function like the traditional banking system, because user funds are stored on their platform and they exercise autonomous control over the assets as well as the decision making.
Centralized exchanges poses many risks compared to decentralized exchanges: Centralized exchanges can be manipulated by governmental authourities to the disadvantage of users and users are always at the receiving end of whatever decision is made, as centralized exchanges do not allow users involvement in the decision making of the ecosystem.
However, decentralized exchanges are not also left out, decentralized exchanges only allow crypto-crypto trading and allow the addition of tokens to their exchanges without verification and as such dubious projects get enlisted and swindle users of their assets.
These two exchanges, do not have a structure for rewarding users for their involvement in maintaining the network, decentralized exchanges allow users a measure of decision making, however a reward system is absent to encourage users to continue in their input to the development of the industry.
