Maybe for many, when you name the word cryptocurrency, it may sound like something, you've heard it somewhere, someone told you about it or you heard it in some media. The truth is that there is the word, which for many is the financial salvation, for many others, a danger, enemy or strange term without understanding that it is exactly, for what is the traditional money of all life.

The criptomonoda is nothing more than a cryptographic currency developed by mathematical algorithms. A "virtual money, digital money", something that has value but can not be physically touched like tickets. The origin of the cryptocurrency arises from various problems in world banking, and fiat money. About 10 years ago, a Japanese named Satochi Nakamoto created bitcoin.

The first electronic currency to exchange, market, sell, buy, etc. It is so under the eyes of incredulous and distrust of the financial sectors, in 2009 the currency is born but it is not until 2011, that bitcoin manages to go hand in hand with the dollar, a year later it is consolidated as an exchange currency, all purely electronic by means of computers. For 2013, the first cashier is created in Canada to market and its capitalization reaches a trillion dollars.

Nowadays, due to the success of bitcoin, there are hundreds of virtual currencies in competition with it and that work with the same blockchain system. The best known, litcoin, etherum, ripple, iota, monero, dash, among others. Each one is developed under different projects and platforms that offer the world and the individual of today. Improvements not only for economic development but also, technological, cultural, social.

From my humble point of view. The so-called cryptocurrency, just beginning, will remain to offer alternatives to the traditional currency, I do not think it will disappear, on the contrary, with the passing of the decades it will consolidate, it will become more popular. And perhaps, the individual will have no choice but to understand why it is and what it is used for. It does not matter or not if you will use it in your daily life as a payment system.

Today is the day, January 2018. The first electronic currency will soon reach and exceed twenty thousand dollars. The question is, will there be another currency that reaches those prices and surpassed the bitcoin in both value and popularity? Well, I would dare say nobody knows. No matter how many experts there are about trading and cryptocurrencies. I will finish with a phrase that I have read hundreds of times on the internet since I began to familiarize myself with this world. "THE MARKET IS UNPREDICTABLE".
