Virtual currencies show great promise as the currency of the future. Everyone, including governments, are examining how best to exploit cryptocurrencies and are even attempting to create their own version of them. The technology behind it, particularly the blockchain technology, has the potential to revamp the entire financial system as we know it.

Bankers are looking to blockchain technologies for a range of purposes: introducing transparency in the financial payment and settlement systems, reducing the costs for international payments, use in governance and audit costs, and even to tackle software piracy.

The reports that attempts are being made at patenting these technologies, therefore, has all entities interested and invested in this technology very worried.
