People are on their phones 24/7 and have a bunch of apps accessible to them all the time. It allows for people to be able to buy things with the touch of a button. Many phones have the option for the app to remember your username and password, your address, and credit card information which makes it that much more easier to purchase things from apps. Apps have evolved from debit card transactions to now being able to checkout using Paypal. Bitcoin is unlike regular banks or apps that handle money. Bitcoin refuses to be like banks where they hold on to your money or charge fees to take out money from the bank. Bitcoin allows people from all over the world to use one universal currency that is even between all countries. It can be later transferred to paper money if someone decides to buy your Bitcoins with their money. It can then be transferred into the person’s preferred currency. Bitcoin is a clever idea. “But because bitcoin isn’t necessarily tied to any user’s identity, it can be spent anonymously like cash, meaning there’s a way to keep governments and marketers in the dark about your spending habits.” (Mcmillan). Bitcoin has the right motive by being “anonymous” but there is going to be a point where it will be harder to keep it that way. Douglas Rushkoff believes that once the Bitcoin coins runout then Bitcoin will be forced to become a banking system they were invented to disrupt. It is a great idea to have the Bitcoin app because it gives people a way to earn money while being able to stay anonymous and due to the fact that many people care about their privacy, Bitcoin blew up. In the future, digital currency will not have hold a significant place in the world because of the simple fact that the bank system can not be competed with. Digital currency will however still play a part in society because as kids grow up, they are connected to the internet and will continue to use it. Even if it is to earn their own money that they could use towards their favorite video game instead of always asking their parents for money.
