From the first moment
Crypto Currencies came online it has been a battle against the old, rotting
economy that has thrown us into the recession. It is no secret that the way
things used to work actually didn’t work at all. The old economy has thrown us
from recession to recession, leaving whole generations devastated and changing
our dreams and future in non-positive ways. Depending on nations and rich
establishments like banks, the old economy proved to be all too fallible and
secretive altogether.
This is why the whole
concept of a free, global economy that is unrestricted by outer factors like
countries and banks didn’t come as a surprise to those who knew what the world
really needed. Nonetheless the birth of Bitcoin was still something many
watched with hesitation and dismissed as a fad or scam. Nothing could have been
further from the truth and Bitcoin spoke with actions, or should I say
transactions, rather than promises. The worth of the Bitcoin rose immensely in
the last years from its all time low of 2$ per piece to its current of around
95$ per coin.
The Bitcoin works with
special codes which change every time a transaction is made. Special crypto
keys keep the coins from being stolen and the chain of transactions makes the
coin easy to track and transaction simple to monitor. Since it is just too much
hassle to hack or copy so many transactions and codes the system is not worth
hacking at all, making it a pretty safe investment, as opposed to what internet
luddites feared. When an exploit was discovered in 2010, instead of proving
those dismissive minds right, Bitcoin immediately corrected the mistake, nobody
lost their money or worth of it and Bitcoin has since never had an exploit episode
again.
Following this amazing
success of a brand new way to transact and pay, many of course created their
own crypto currencies. Bitcoins are after all finite and could not fit the
whole world economy once crypto currencies reach their expected future popularity.
There was plenty of room for more crypto currencies to serve the world and
plenty were born.
Plenty crypto currencies enjoy their share of success today with some names being Litecoin, the greatest rival of Bitcoin, Feathercoin, Novacoin and many, many more. Smaller crypto currencies have their own place in this new economy promising rising prices and bigger profits than already established coins.

Something that is
pretty much unique in crypto currencies and which promises to keep them safe
from inflation is the limited amount of coins that can actually be created.
Most coins will stop at 21 million with only a few like Feathercoin crafting
four times as much. Every four years new coins are released into the market,
yet the amount of those coins will grow smaller, until it reaches zero and then
the maximum amount of coins will have been reached. This way you know that your
coins will not lose their worth because too many have been printed; because
that is simply impossible with crypto currency and the way they work.
As reality proves,
crypto currencies become bigger and bigger, multiplying and sharing a new
unrestricted economy to all those who dare to win. The future of the world
economy is here in the form of these crypto currencies and we can expect them
to become more and more popular. Not only that, the whole software and crypto
currency system will too improve in time, creating more powerful coins and
larger markets for them. Already some countries allow tax payment in Bitcoins
and even wages have been partly paid in Bitcoins, showing the increased trust
in crypto currency that some never expected to become reality. Crypto
currencies have won the world over with actions not promises, and that is where
they are superior to the older currencies world over.
