Controversial growth

Unlike conventional currency, digital money is a reflection of the value made by a particular institution or government.The main way to earn digital money is to buy it with ordinary money, as payment for the products and services provided by the company concerned or for the investment of the digital money.The method reflects that the digital currency market does not have strict rules because it depends solely on the investor concerned, which is generally a private party.

    Coinmarketcap.comRegardless of the absence of regulations, digital money shows rapid growth: Bitcoin - often dubbed 'digital gold' - for example enjoying a value increase of up to 1,200% throughout 2017.Some observers, however, believe that digital money will be one of the biggest 'empty bubbles' of finance in history, which in time will erupt without value.

    One who doubts the digital money is the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, Joseph Stigtlitz."Why do people want Bitcoin or an alternative currency? The main reason is to engage in dirty activities, such as money laundering and tax evasion," he explained in interview with the BBC some time ago.Despite some warnings, investors are still taking risks in the growth of digital currencies, reflecting the old principle: 'the higher the risk, the higher the profit.'
