The global economy is moving towards a digital ecosystem. From investment to money transfer, everything is going paperless and intangible. The newest and most promising addition to the digital payment sector is cryptocurrency and there is no doubt it is going to become bigger and bigger as the years go by.
A cryptocurrency is a medium of exchange like normal currencies such as USD or Ugx, but designed for the purpose of exchanging digital information. Cryptocurrency is defined as a decentralized digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography for security.
Over the last couple of years, digital currency has been rapidly gaining the public eye. Here are some good reasons behind it.
• Fraud-proof: When cryptocurrency is created, all confirmed transactions are stored in a public ledger. All identities of coin owners are encrypted to ensure the legitimacy of record keeping. Because the currency is decentralized, you own it. Neither government nor bank has any control over it.
• Instant Settlement: Blockchain is the reason why cryptocurrency has any value. Ease of use is the reason why cryptocurrency is in high demand. All you need is a smart device, an internet connection and instantly you become your own bank making payments and money transfers.
• Accessible: There are over two billion people with access to the Internet who don’t have rights to use to traditional exchange systems. These individuals are clued-in for the cryptocurrency market- you too could join the trend with Yellow Card.
• You are the owner: There is no other electronic cash system in which your account is owned by you.

Its price in July 2010 at 0.06/coin USD is now worth over 4000.00/coin USD today, making it one of the biggest investment phenomena in modern history.
