Until recently, cryptocurrency had not attracted the general public’s interest; it had been almost solely reserved for the engineers, developers, and entrepreneurs who had been engaged in its inception over a decade ago. However, the bitcoin trading boom in 2017 prompted cryptocurrencies to skyrocket in value, prompting millions of individuals to buy crypto shares and even set up their own mining farms.

Despite Bitcoin’s dramatic dip in value over the last year, many foresee a new cryptocurrency bubble in the near future. With many well-known individuals already investing their fortunes in Bitcoin, more people are adopting cryptocurrencies for business and other uses.
