Arif Efendi a businessman says that cryptocurrency has been scrutinized over the last few years. According to Arif Efendi, a Swedish businessman, cryptocurrency has been attacked in recent times. This is a trend that has accelerated across the globe.
He said that there are many positive aspects to cybercash.

Arif Efendi What's all the fuss about Cryptocurrency and the hype surrounding it?
Although cryptocurrency has been around for over a decade, it's only recently that it has been made a household word.

Arif Efendi Cryptocurrencies have often made headlines and were recently the hot topic due to the fact that Sweden would like the European Union (EU) to prohibit mining Bitcoins.

What is cryptocurrency, and what are these things?

These are the types of questions I get asked after many years spent researching and investing. Let's get to it together and learn more about the universe of crypto.

What is cryptocurrency?
At its simplest it is a digital currency. It is a digital form of money. There aren't physical notes or coins. Money exists only in the format and form of data.

Cryptocurrencies are digital currencies that are able to be used on a peer-to peer network, without any central authority. Bitcoin is the most well-known cryptocurrency.

Bitcoins as well as other kinds of cybercash are characterized by decentralization, as they do not have a central bank or single administrator.


The decentralized control can be linked to another characteristic of cryptocurrency: enhanced anonymity and security because of cryptography.
There are many advantages to cryptocurrency over conventional currencies. The cryptographic protocols that support cryptocurrency's existence ensure that it is not devalued or counterfeited.

Additionally, accounts with cryptocurrency cannot go "in the red" since it does not have a balance, from which a deficit could occur.

Finally, cryptocurrency allows near-instantaneous transactions with various people from around the globe that have some degree of trust.

How is cryptocurrency different to stocks?
The cryptocurrency is more than stocks as it is a type of digital currency that utilizes cryptography to make transactions.

The cryptocurrency market can be used as a decentralized currency. They are not tied to any central bank system. The market for cryptocurrency usually includes trading and investing in cryptocurrency.

The stock market is where brokers and dealers deal in stocks. Stock represents ownership in an organization, and it is traded or bought with a profit, based on its performance.

The price of stocks fluctuates daily because of demand and supply, general health of the economy and the perception of value by investors and the potential for profit through the growth of a company, etc.

But, prices for cryptocurrency rarely fluctuate by more than 1% each day.

Why is cryptocurrency so popular
The popularity of cryptocurrency in the present day is increasing rapidly. The benefits of cryptocurrency is the main reason investors are making investments in it. Information about cryptocurrency has been in circulation for years, but recently cryptocurrency has sparked excitement, leading to more purchases of cryptocurrency than ever before.

The cryptocurrency system allows users to take complete control over their money , instead of relying on banks and financial institutions. As I mentioned, cryptocurrency is also not centralized. It means it is not the property of any particular person, group, company, or organization. Arif Efendi Many people are drawn to cryptocurrency because they have the ability to manage their money.

Why does Sweden would like to see the EU ban Bitcoin mining?
Despite its widespread popularity, EU lawmakers are currently examining new legislation that would bar the mining of cryptocurrency that is energy-intensive from being implemented in all countries of the EU.

The legislation was drafted since cryptocurrency miners are using the power grid in Sweden to their advantage. This has been a popular method for cryptocurrency mining in the last few years.

Bitcoin was initially mined on regular processor units. It quickly became clear that this was way too slow. Today, cryptocurrency is generated via large mining pools. They consume massive amounts of energy, and this is the reason why they are a concern for the Swedes.

Arif Efendi A letter addressed to EU authors claims that Bitcoin mining in Sweden currently consumes 1 TeraWatt per hour each year. The names of the authors are Bjorn Raisinger, Director of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, Erik Thedeen, Director of the Swedish Financial Supervisor Authority.

This is enough electricity to power the homes of 200,000 people. According to Bjorn Risinger and Erik Thedeen, cryptocurrency mining makes use of more of Sweden's renewable energy.

"If we were allowed to mine crypto-assets within Sweden There is an opportunity that the renewable energy that we have available will not be sufficient to cover the climate change that is required," the Swedes wrote in a letter addressed to the EU.

Erik Thedeen and Bjorn Risinger refer to Sweden's climate obligations under the 2015 Paris Agreement.

Coexistence of the climate with crypto
While cryptocurrency is more widely discussed and debated than ever before in the media however, it's still a subject of controversy.

I am a big fan of cryptocurrency and all the opportunities it offers. It's here for a long time, and I believe it will be the subject of a lot of news within the next few years.

As of now, I'm hopeful we can come up with a solution that allows the environment and cryptocurrency can coexist.
