Future of cryptocurrencies and alternatives to central banks:
The uncontrolled fame that the world of cryptocurrencies has acquired has brought down all the walls and neither banks nor governments will be able to stop what is coming, a fact that worries them because they do not have the control as they traditionally had over the resources (money) in such a way that the most predictable thing is that they will try to implement some regulations and laws to control the operations carried out by the entities with cryptocurrencies.
In conclusion, we must wait how this last quarter will develop and observe how cryptocurrencies behave in the face of the challenges ahead. For this reason, we must be attentive and prepared to face any scenario in the case of holding any asset.
