10. Global Concerns
•Hackers. Cryptocurrencies are targets for highly sophisticated
hackers, who have been able to breach advanced security systems.
•Bad Imagery – even though there is a boom of cryptocurrency but
still many people are not well versed with crypto hence they are not
willing to take any risk.
•Cost. Cryptocurrencies can cost consumers much more to use than
credit cards or even regular cash, often due to price volatility.
•Global Restrictions. There are lack of legislations in most
countries and few countries have banned cryptocurrency which
makes it difficult for users to invest and transact with crypto.
•Lack of Transparency. The anonymous nature of cryptocurrencies
make transparency and accountability difficult for consumers seeking
to ensure the safety of their investments.

11. Conclusion
Cryptocurrency is an impressive technical achievement, but it remains a
monetary experiment. Even if cryptocurrencies survive, they may not fully
displace fiat currencies. As I have tried to show in this presentation, they provide
an interesting new perspective from which to view economic questions
surrounding currency governance, the characteristics of money, the political
economy of financial intermediaries, and the nature of currency competition.
