Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency, is arguably the most explosive asset in human history. Since its inception in 2009, Bitcoin’s market capitalization has grown from zero to over $560 billion by January of 2022.1 This increase was almost unthinkable just a few years ago. Since Bitcoin first appeared, many other cryptocurrencies have sprung to life. There are thousands of different cryptocurrencies currently and that number increases almost daily.2 Cryptocurrencies have a combined market capitalization of approximately $2 trillion. Many people believe that the cryptocurrency market is nothing more than a bubble. Indeed, the value of cryptocurrencies has endured violent ups-and-downs. However, such explosive growth is more than just speculation. The underlying technology of any cryptocurrency, the blockchain, shows enormous potential to usher in all kinds of change. Regardless of the future value of cryptocurrencies, the blockchain technology is here to stay. We are at the beginning of a digital revolution, propelling the world into an era of a digital economy. In the U.S., the overall economy grows at an average rate of 2% a year, while the digital economy is growing at 10%. Today, the digital economy in the U.S. is roughly 10% of the total economy. But by 2030, that number is forecasted to be 22% of the total economy. Blockchain, together with the other nascent technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data, the Internet of Things (IoT), and many others are the driving forces of this coming digital revolution, also known as the 4th Industrial Revolution.
