When it comes to cryptocurrencies, adoption is always the biggest problem. People are afraid to even take a look at this technology. As cryptocurrency is involved, people are not even trying to understand the importance of blockchain technology. Awareness is a major concern here because not everyone can understand all these concepts. But some people are showing interest because they can see others getting some benefits from this technology either in the form of real-world problem-solving or from the aspect of earning money.
Believing and understanding the technology
We have to agree that this technology has brought us a lot of new avenues and new streams for exploration. Some countries have already started exploring blockchain technology for their real-world problems. This technology has strong transaction capabilities that make tax collection and toll collection a seamless experience in many countries. With the help of this technology, banks are also able to transfer their funds from one country to another country without any delays. What took 3 days in the past is now being done instantaneously. Thanks to this technology.
Adoption happens only if people understand the benefits of this technology and believe that this can be very helpful to mankind. We agree that this technology is still maturing and are also sometimes in the wrong hands but that is not the end of the world. If we look at it from a positive approach, the possibilities are enormous. People should be more aware of this technology and it would be good to start this in schools and colleges. These days awareness is created in schools and colleges. If the government is also supportive and if they try to make use of this technology for their functions and activities, it would be amazing.
To increase awareness of cryptocurrencies, many things have to be done. It is not a mandatory thing but if we consider doing these things, it will be very helpful in increasing cryptocurrency adoption. Many companies have started understanding the need for this technology and have started making use of this. They either create their blockchain or create a smart contract on an existing blockchain for their operations.
Education required on private keys and wallets
Understanding about private keys is very important. Blockchains are not just like other ordinary websites where if you forget a password, you can recover your password. That's not the case with blockchains. The concept of passwords is a little different here and here it is called Keys and some chains offer pass phrases that we have to remember to transact using our wallets. It is important to keep the private keys safe and secure because if we lose them, we lose access to our wallet and we cannot recover our money back.
Integration with real-world Finance
The real world finance has several use cases. Cryptocurrencies are related to finance and mostly it is all about money and funds. Having an integration with real-world finance will make it very useful for people. There should be more use cases brought in the real world that relate to the personal finances of people. DeFi is one concept that relates to real-world finance but there is still a long way to go when it comes to integrating our real world with blockchain world finance.
User experience and simplicity
As mentioned in one of the above paragraphs, the blockchain concepts have to be simple for people to understand and make use of. Some people are also afraid to get started and they think that it is complex and they fear losing funds. Compared to how things were about 10 years back, today we are way better in this. Many forms of education materials are available right now for someone who would like to get themselves onboarded in the crypto world.
Understanding the regulations
Regulations are very important. We have to understand that regulations are important even though blockchains can be decentralized. The main reason is that this technology can also go into the hands of bad actors. Governments want to regulate this to protect from money laundering and also from other malpractices. We need a lot of awareness in terms of regulations. It also varies from one country to another country. It is wise to understand the regulations and make use of this technology so that we also abide by the rules of the government and we can keep our hands clean.
