Cash may always be king, but it has become a rare form of payment in business transactions. As of 2009, decentralized cryptocurrency is the new kid on the block, giving rise to the next revolution.
Decentralized cryptocurrency is digital currency that uses encryption methods to both transfer funds and regulate the actual units of currency that are created. Cryptocurrency is “decentralized” when it operates independently of any central bank. According to Coin Market Cap, there are currently 643 different types of cryptocurrencies, and that number rises daily. Of these, bitcoin is the most popular, having a market capitalization of more than $6 billion.
