I’d like to share my personal perspective on the future of cryptocurrency. Let’s first briefly examine when it started and how it has evolved.

1. Origins of CryptoCurrency

• 1990s: The initial idea of virtual currency emerged in the 1990s. Technologists and cryptographers made several attempts to enable electronic currency transactions without central authorities, but most of these ended in failure.
• 2008: An individual or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto proposed Bitcoin, a peer-to-peer electronic currency system without the need for a central authority.
• 2009: The Bitcoin network was initiated, and Satoshi Nakamoto mined the first Bitcoin.

2. Development

• Early 2010s: Bitcoin began to gain attention, leading to the establishment of the first Bitcoin exchanges.
• Emergence of Altcoins: Following the success of Bitcoin, various altcoins (cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin) emerged, such as Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple.
• Smart Contracts: Ethereum introduced the concept of smart contracts, expanding the range of cryptocurrency applications.
• Regulations and Acceptance: As the popularity of cryptocurrencies grew, several countries introduced regulations. However, many businesses started to accept cryptocurrency payments.
• DeFi and NFT: Recently, new cryptocurrency-based technologies like Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) have emerged, further expanding the scope of cryptocurrency applications.

3. An In-depth Exploration of NFTs On Cryptocurrency as a Modern Alternative to Traditional Notarization

Driven by the transformative potential of cryptocurrencies, I embarked on a quest to ascertain the viability of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) as a contemporary substitute for the long-established notarization system. This curiosity was fueled by the notion that the essence of cryptocurrencies extends beyond their digital value representation; it’s profoundly rooted in the groundbreaking features they bring to the fore. NFTs, in particular, emerge as a distinctive feature with the capability to revolutionize our understanding of digital ownership and authentication.

For this endeavor, I opted for Ethereum, given its stature and extensive acceptance in the domains of decentralized finance and NFTs. Over several weeks, I immersed myself in understanding the intricacies of creating and transacting with these tokens.

As the exploration unfolded, I confronted certain challenges and gleaned insights. The act of minting or generating a coin turned out to be more demanding in terms of resources and time than initially expected. The computational might and energy requisites were notably high. Moreover, when reflecting upon the sheer volume of daily transactions in the tangible world, it became evident that the present infrastructure and scalability of cryptocurrencies might be inadequate to manage such vast transactional loads efficiently.

Thus, while the innovative allure of NFTs and related cryptocurrency features is palpable and offers exciting prospects, there exist substantial challenges that need addressing, especially if they are to be integrated into prevalent systems like notarization.

Final Conclusion

While cryptocurrencies have made significant advancements over the years, they seemingly haven’t reached their pinnacle yet. Until we witness a cryptocurrency that either greatly surpasses the capabilities of current technologies or presents an entirely new paradigm, flipping the existing systems on its head, cryptocurrencies will likely remain niche and not serve a universal purpose for the broader population. Given this perspective, investing heavily in current cryptocurrencies might carry inherent risks. Ultimately, I anticipate that a completely novel form of cryptocurrency will emerge, poised to replace all existing forms of currency. It’s essential for investors to approach this domain with caution and a well-informed perspective.
