The future is cryptocurrency- easily transportable, little to zero transaction fees, no human intervention between payor and payee, high anonymity, and even functionality. The popularity of cryptocurrency is expected to grow exponentially, as it is decentralized, safe, and anonymous.
In cryptocurrency, all functions such as currency issuance, transaction processing and verification are carried out collectively by the network. While this decentralization renders cryptocurrency free from government manipulation or interference, the flipside is that there is no central authority to ensure that things run smoothly or to back the value of a cryptocurrency.
Just wait till April 2018 and you will surely see a marginal jump in all cryptocurrencies. As they HODL is the key to success. Currently negative news from media is playing a key role in decreasing crypto value. Things will become better have patience and enjoy the show.
