Relatively little time has passed since the appearance of the first cryptocurrencies, but now we can confidently state that numerous skeptics, who predicted the imminent disappearance of this phenomenon due to the lack of the ability to regulate the extraction of electronic money at the state level, admitted their mistakes. On the contrary, cryptocurrencies only strengthen their position in the international financial market, and the demand for them is steadily increasing. There are reasonable assumptions that due to the popularization of network transactions using this method of calculation, cryptocurrencies will become even more widespread, and their rate in relation to real currencies will continue to grow.
