Blockchain Technology
Blockchain technology is a transparent digital ledger of transactions and records that are immune to change or deletion. Offering additional traits of increased security, lower costs, time efficiency, and error resistance, blockchain has seen a rapid rise in interest during 2017. The utility of blockchain technology is limitless, sparking the growing list of companies, industries, and governments exploring its potential adoption. Cryptocurrency, otherwise known as digital currency or digital money, has played a significant part in the scaling knowledge of blockchain.
Cryptocurrencies are virtual currencies which use blockchain technology — they hold no physical attributes and exist solely in digital form. Bitcoin is widely regarded as the public face of blockchain and virtual currencies, seeing a rise in value of over 39,500% in the last 5 years.
Bitcoin has grown as a tradeable asset and it is estimated that over 6 million people hold Bitcoin as a digital asset and over 100,000 vendors worldwide now accept Bitcoin as payment for goods and services. Other digital currencies have followed Bitcoin with over 1,500 cryptocurrencies in circulation — some are designed to further the advances in blockchain technology and others to provide financing for individual objectives. Bitcoin and Ethereum are leaders in terms of market share, and account for almost 60% of a $486 billion market.
