Why Crypto Hasn't Gone Mainstream Yet

After a decade of trading and a market cap in hundreds of millions, it?s not yet clear ? will cryptocurrencies like Bit[Suspicious link removed]ver to the mainstream use?

One factor that could make or break a cryptocurrency is the ability to outgrow its FinTech image and put on some real economy clothes. It depends on consumers who decide whether or not to adopt cryptocurrencies as a payment method. Sadly, they are still vague when it comes trading fiat money for the cryptocurrency.

Also, some high-profile people are pessimistic on this idea of cryptocurrencies. A Nobel Prize-winning economist Robert Shiller (no pun intended) compared cryptocurrency with the Dutch tulip mania. On the other hand, Myron Scholes, another Nobel laureate, is taking part in the development of a low-volatility cryptocurrency Saga (SGA).
