Cryptocurrency
Manage episode 343890794 series 3221856
Cryptocurrencies have gained a lot of negative publicity recently, due in large part to their wildly volatile prices, but also due to reports of cryptocurrency theft to the value of over US$ 1 billion in 2018 alone. This is particularly alarming for a currency that was touted as being blockchain-based, and hence super-secure. I have nothing against cryptocurrencies; I believe they are great in theory, even though they do have some unresolved issues. But in time, they might evolve to a point where theory becomes a practical reality.
