HOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE CRYPTOCURRENCY IN THE FUTURE?


There are many things in cryptocurrencies that needs to be improved Like, using cryptocurrency as means of payment, like buying and selling of goods and service online is not accepted in many countries. Some country banned individuals from making use of cryptocurrency as method of payment, so in my opinion, i will like cryptocurrency to be the means of payment all over the world.

Cryptocurrency is only used to purchase goods and services online not physical, for example, i went to a nearby restaurant to by food, i can only pay with cash not with cryptocurrency, so i will also like that to improve in years to come. Cryptocurrency also does not have any regulations guiding it, you are just on your own and transactions are not reversible once you make mistake during transaction, i will also like it to improve in future.

Finally, cryptocurrencies are volatile, it goes up and comes down, for me i will like it's value to increase more higher in years to come rather than fall.


CONCLUSION


Using cryptocurrency all of the world as means of payment will be very cool, because when carrying out transactions, it's always fast and fees are low. Thanks to professor @stream4u for this wonderful lecture.
