Using Crypto in Your Everyday Life

Most of us have wondered at first: “Why is cryptocurrency even a thing? What is the difference between numbers in a bank account versus numbers on a crypto wallet?”

Banking still relies on technology built in the 1970s, and plain old paper trails. Why should we wait days for deposits and withdraws to clear, wire transfers to be sent, and cashier checks to be printed and mailed, when we can email someone around the world in 5 seconds? Finally, institutional banking and government is catching onto that the answer to that problem is cryptocurrencies based on blockchain technology.

PayPal was one of the most revolutionizing service that pushed online shopping further after a long stalemate, adding another layer of safety and anonymity between the buyer and the seller (and anybody else trying to take a peak illegally). PayPal was never a currency though, just a payment gateway, providing a debit card linked to your PayPal balance that kept US dollars.

When Bitcoin came around, it brought a novel idea to the table called Proof of Work to make sure that each transaction was legitimate and transparent which is stored on something called the blockchain that anyone could read and be held accountable for. It gave the world of online currencies the chance it needed.

While the whole cryptocurrency field is yet to be accepted by the majority, there are already plenty of real life use cases for them right now:

Crypto is Going Country

Currency is a major form of economic control and stability. So while it may seem like an already saturated marketplace is only going to get worse, everyone will not agree to use Bitcoin as the worldwide currency any time soon.

As countries evolve their currencies, this may lead to future dialogues about backing standards, what digital currencies represent, and might eventually create a more stable global economy. There is no telling if the distribution of digital wealth will change ratios along with it, or how this will affect poverty. These are issues world leaders must face when deciding on what to do with this emerging technology.

Blockchain is the latest tech craze and has attracted a lot of attention. Before blockchain, computers operated in a client/server relationship, where one central authority (the server) is contacted by a client (your laptop, phone, etc.) and is requested to send back information. An...
