In our view, the    cryptocurrency market has only started to attract talent with    the depth, breadth, and market focus needed to take the    industry to the next level. For the market to gain mainstream    acceptance, however, consumers and corporations will need to    see cryptocurrency as a user-friendly solution to their common    transactions. Further, the industry will need to develop    cybersecurity technology and protocols.  <\/p>\n<p>    Investors generally appear to be confident about the    opportunities associated with cryptocurrencies and    cryptography. The inherent value of the underlying    technology, discussed above, gives these investors good reason    to be optimistic. As a result, only recently have some of the    more established cryptocurrency companies attracted    institutional investors and Wall Street attention.  <\/p>\n<p>    Traditionally, banks have connected those with money to those    who need it. But in recent years, this middleman position has    been diluted, and disintermediation in the banking sector has    evolved rapidly. This has resulted from the rise of Internet    banking; increased consumer usage of alternative payment    methods like Amazon gift cards, Apple Pay, and Google Wallet;    and advances in mobile payments.  <\/p>\n<p>    Government attitudes around the world toward cryptocurrency are    inconsistent when it comes to the classification, treatment,    and legality of this technology. Regulations are also evolving    at different paces in different regions.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Follow this link:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwc.com\/us\/en\/financial-services\/publications\/cryptocurrency-evolution.html\" title=\"Money is no object: Understanding the evolving cryptocurrency market - PwC\">Money is no object: Understanding the evolving cryptocurrency market - PwC<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Tech developers Many talented tech developers have devoted their efforts to cryptocurrency mining, while others have focused on more entrepreneurial pursuits such as developing exchanges, wallet services, and alternative cryptocurrencies.
