The cryptocurrency and blockchain conversation has become rabid as of late. For those unfamiliar, cryptocurrency is a digital form of currency that uses encryption to regulate the generation of units and verify the transfer of funds. A blockchain is an online immutable ledger of transactions.

Why are so many people getting involved in the world of Bitcoin, blockchain and cryptocurrency? Well, let’s take a look at the benefits and the future potential.

Access for Everyone
Despite how much many of us take things like banks and financial institutions for granted, there are over 2 billion adults in this world that don’t have a bank account. Not having access to financial services can make it hard to get ahead. Simple things, like creating savings or sending funds to a loved one back home, become next to impossible. Cryptocurrency is unique in that there are plenty of options that require only a mobile phone and an internet connection. This gives the unbanked and underbanked financial inclusion, regardless of socioeconomic status .

Speed and Efficiency
Transactions on a blockchain take place much quicker than traditional transactions as there is no third party involved. Also, the technology is able to manage contracts and agreements automatically, as a result, every process is heavily streamlined. This cuts down the time and costs involved in sending coins, receiving coins, buying coins or another kind of transaction. Through this technology, many transactions that normally take days can be achieved in seconds.

Transparency
Blockchain is, essentially, a universal ledger that operates using a global peer-to-peer network. All transactions on the blockchain are recorded and visible, data can never be overwritten or removed. Additionally, blockchain technology removes the need for a central authority to manage transactions, making these transactions highly secure and impenetrable for hackers.

Room for Innovation
The first successful decentralized cryptocurrency in the world was Bitcoin, which was created back in 2009. While it has skyrocketed in popularity as of late, there are very few solutions to the current limitations found in Bitcoin. At UBIQUICOIN, we have spent the last 3 years studying these challenges and developing the technology that will bring cryptocurrency into the mainstream.

UBIQUICOIN will deliver the structural sophistication to actualize both of cryptocurrency’s most constructive possibilities: to serve as tokens of investment, and to economically enfranchise billions of people all over the world.
