Well, the usage of cryptocurrencies has been increased over the decade, the value of Bitcoins has increased over the years and it has topped even the gold prices. Apart from this, there are several other cryptocurrencies available in the market that increases the value of cryptocoins almost to a hundred billion investments.

However, even though the value of the cryptocurrencies has been increase, there is still a doubt behind the long term usage of the cryptocurrencies. It is found that there are problems of the lack of progress among the core developers of the cryptocoins, which definitely makes it less trustable as a long term investment and also as a system of payment.

Cryptocurrency is had got its name from the functions that it performs, it uses encrypted codes to make any kind of digital transaction. These are encrypted codes and they are only recognized by other computers working in the same community. This is a simple process of not using paper money and use an online ledger that is updated by ordinary data chunks or ordinary bookkeeping entries. As any transaction is made, the seller account gets credit with the currency and the byers account is debited with the same.

It is not only used as a payment option but also as a stored value asset, it allows the user to receive and send bitcoins without any difficulty. The usage of Bitcoins is based on the method of Blockchain technology. Thus, it becomes very important for you to have proper knowledge or information about Blockchain technology, so that you can understand what essentially cryptocurrencies are.

There are a very low percentage of people that are actually aware of the bitcoins being used as an investment, although bitcoins are currently the most common cryptocurrency available in the world of investment. Moreover, the percentage of individuals that actually use the bitcoins to transfer funds is even lower. Thus, this also becomes great news for individuals that want to invest in Bitcoins as it is definitely going to be very profitable in the future.

One of the popular cryptocurrency, the Bitcoin can not only be used on mobile devices but they can also be used to make purchases. All a user needs to do is allow the receiver to scan the QR code by using an app by using a smartphone or by bringing it face to face by utilizing the NFC or the Near Field Communication. This is similar to different online wallets available like PayTM or MobiQuick and so on.

Bitcoin is a very popular cryptocurrency and the production of Litecoins was made simply to make it an alternative for the cryptocurrency. However, the things have been different in the recent time. Earlier the Litecoins adopted a method similar to Coinbase, which was also followed by Bitcoins and Ethereum used.

But as the Litecoins solved the issue found in Bitcoins, by adapting to the technology of Segregated Witness, it lowered the cost of transaction and thus increasing its distribution. However, then Charlie Lee decided to leave Coinbase and brings his focus only on Litecoins. This definitely increased the cost of Litecoins in few months as it was looked after as the best alternative to Bitcoins.
