But when you have for example 1 Bitcoin it is very much possible that its value is changed to Rs 450 in a matter of minutes or maybe worse.<\/strong><\/h5>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h5>\r\n\r\n<\/h5>\r\n<h5 class=\"has-text-align-left\">The value of the traditional currencies don\u2019t leak or for that matter gain in matters of weeks\/days\/minutes barring exceptions.<\/h5>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h5>\r\n\r\n<\/h5>\r\n<h5 class=\"has-text-align-left\">The challenge with Cryptocurrencies is that they do not represent stored inherent value but have mushroomed as a trading vehicle, providing thrill and transactional benefits to the speculator industry.<\/h5>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h5>\r\n\r\n<\/h5>\r\n<h5 class=\"has-text-align-left\">Their status as Currency shall be debated for a long time until they see the test of time, also the risks that are associated with them can\u2019t be disregarded.<\/h5>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h5>\r\n\r\n<\/h5>\r\n<h5><strong>1<\/strong>. Technology for the Young Cryptocurrency is still a relatively new concept. Bitcoin was created around ten years ago and has yet to mature into a viable currency. With so many changes in recent years, it&#8217;s impossible to predict how the industry will develop. Only for a limited time, Bitcoin may be the first step toward a new monetary exchange, but few businesses accept it as a legitimate method of payment. Currently, just a few online businesses offer bitcoin trades, including Overstock, Newegg, and Monoprix.<\/h5>\r\n<h5>\r\n\r\n<\/h5>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h5>\r\n\r\n<\/h5>\r\n<h5 class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong>2<\/strong>. Technology Reliance,\u00a0 Bitcoin is an online exchange that is reliant on technology. Dependence on Technology Bitcoin is a technology-based online currency exchange. Coins are mined digitally, traded through smart wallets, and monitored via a variety of methods. Cryptocurrency has no value without such technology. There is no tangible collateral to back it up, unlike other kinds of cash or investment.<\/h5>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h5>\r\n\r\n<\/h5>\r\n<h5 class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong>3<\/strong>. There are no rules in place. Currently, there are no substantial laws governing the bitcoin industry. The government hasn&#8217;t taken a firm stance on cryptocurrencies because it&#8217;s still a relatively young sector. It is tax-free, which makes it an appealing investment prospect.<\/h5>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h5>\r\n\r\n<\/h5>\r\n<h5 class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong>4<\/strong>. Cybertheft, Because cryptocurrency is built on technology, it is vulnerable to cyberattacks. Because there is no method to recover lost or stolen bitcoins, hacking is a major danger.<\/h5>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There must be something alluring about this shiny &amp; malleable metal that it&#8217;s not just a favoured base for luxurious jewels but most importantly it\u2019s the Backbone of all Countries financial reserve. &nbsp; Crypto Buzz around the world, its fancy architecture and sophisticated invisible mash of networks has crowned it as a CURRENCY? &nbsp; The&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gsfc.in\/blog\/why-is-gold-gold-standard-for-the-world\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Why is Gold \u2026\u2026..
