“No matter how much they start, no matter how much they try to control crypto, they have come into our lives to stay and nothing and no one can stop it.”
Particularly since the 2021 bull run, cryptocurrency has entered the mainstream. When big coins like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) made enormous gains immediately, many new and youthful investors flocked to the growing asset class.
Additionally, donations made in cryptocurrencies are now more prevalent than ever. To date, $54 million in bitcoin donations have been used to combat Russia in the conflict in Ukraine. Additionally, as of April 8th, daily contributions to the cause totaled $114 million. Fiat money has historically been expensive and slow to handle international payments.
The bulk of individuals still do not fully comprehend the cryptoverse. Only a small number of people have made an effort to comprehend the inner workings of how transactions occur over a blockchain. Many also worry about hacks and exploits because they frequently plague space.

Even more so, the positions of many major corporations and countries remain dreadfully obscure.

However, the private keys to the wallets were somehow obtained by the Canadian government. Many governments are also opposed to the use of cryptocurrencies because it undermines the authority of central banks, a key control mechanism.

Nevertheless, the use of cryptocurrency for payments is growing. Even nations that can control and regulate a cryptocurrency have indicated interest in such a system. One of the cornerstones of the concept, the anonymity aspect of cryptocurrencies, is removed. One thing is for certain, though: crypto is here to stay, and there isn’t much the powerful can do to halt the spread of ideas.
