Recently, venture capitalists talked about how Bitcoin is changing the global monetary system. As well as depriving governments of the ability to control currency transactions. Cryptocurrencies are struggling to survive right now.
On January 14, reality struck when, Mike Hearn, an influential developer proclaimed Bitcoin a failure and sold all its Bitcoin. In the news, the Bitcoin price fell 10% in one day, a disappointing result for those who lost their money.
Bitcoin had a lot of potentials, but it is not recoverable and replacement is urgent.
Most monetary and trading systems today are dense, ineffective, and expensive. Nasdaq North American Stock Exchange is one example. It is one of the most advanced technologies all over the world. But when you buy or sell Facebook stock on the Nasdaq, you have to wait quite a few days for the deal to close. As well as liquidate when it should only take milliseconds.
Because of hyperinflation, Venezuelans who want to buy anything from the supermarket shelves must spend the entire day in line. When overseas workers send money home to Mexico, India, or Africa, money transfer providers extract up to 12% in fees.

50% of the creation of currency and capacity controls by the miners of Chinese Bitcoin relates to all of the other Bitcoin systems through the Great Firewall of China. As Hearn said, this slows the whole system down as it is a bad hotel WiFi connection correspondent. A planned point of view over a worldwide currency also gives.
A decentralized Bitcoin network can only handle a few transactions per second. This results in incalculable transaction resolution times and other truly undesirable conduct in the monetary system. For example, during peak hours, bitcoin fees may exceed credit card fees.
After Bitcoin’s demise, we learned what a digital community should and should not look like. Hacking into accounting systems demonstrate, that we’ve also lost money on mining systems that use gigawatts of power to mine bitcoin and build massive server farms in China.
