Steemit Crypto Academy Season 2

Professor [@levycore Learn About Cryptocurrency]

Hello my colleagues from the cryptocurrency academy, how are you, I hope you are having a good time answering the tasks of this week, this is my presentation of the task for @levycore in week 6 of the second season of the crypto Academy, where We will discuss issues related to centralization and cryptocurrencies as well as differences between a decentralized system and the conventional financial system, with nothing more to say, let's go to the post


What is the fundamental difference between cryptocurrencies and conventional financial systems?

There are several differences that make cryptocurrencies better than traditional financial systems, one of these differences is that they are faster, transfers are almost instantaneous, in the conventional financial system transfers were made and you had to wait about 10 or 20 minutes for them to The transfer is made, if it is a weekend then the thing is worse since you have to wait for business days, something that does not happen with cryptocurrencies, since these transactions are instantly and verifiable, since they run on a chain of blocks. that makes each transaction easily verifiable from the beginning of the chain to the last mined block.

This is why cryptocurrencies are here to stay, these benefits that are necessary for users have never been seen, and that is why the decentralization of banking entities is necessary, behind those banks will remain where you need a series of requirements to be able to have an account and manage money, with cryptocurrencies this is possible, and without limits, fast and secure, something that should have been implemented years ago.

Why is a decentralized system needed?

It is necessary since people like to have control of their finances and in a decentralized system this and more is possible, centralized systems have the power to do with your investment or savings what they please, and that is a disadvantage since if these investments go wrong, the liquidity of the entity could regulate your withdrawals of money, in exchange if people have the money in their possession and decide their investments themselves.

The liquidity of the system will only be given by the capital contributed by the same users, not by the money taken without concentration, the existing losses will be of the same people, as well as the profits since these centralized systems play with the money of the savers and investors and the profits obtained are distributed among the shareholders of the entity in question, and that is why decentralization is needed, it is the only way to have power and control over your finances.

What affects the value of cryptocurrencies?

What affects the price of these cryptocurrencies is the game of supply and demand, since this game is what dictates the price of the currency in question, and this supply and demand can be altered by external agents, which is discouraging news. about the project with which we are investing or any problem that has arisen, most of the time these inconveniences make the currency lose credibility and make people sell at low prices to get out of the currency and therefore the price is seen negatively affected, although not everything is bad as good news causes the currency to rise in value.

For example, entering an important exchange house can make a currency rise in price, an important investment of some famous person also makes the currency have more credibility and therefore the price of this currency rises, summarizing there are many factors that make the cryptocurrencies increase in value or lose it, and many of them are related to the news, and actions undertaken by the leaders of the project in question.



Why can't everyone be a miner?

This is very simple since it would not be profitable and also to be able to be a miner you need to invest a large amount of money in devices dedicated to this purpose, these people are not miners overnight since they have been mining for years, apart from the Miners have several challenges to face, such as the constant updating of their equipment, since it is increasingly difficult to mine a coin in question because each time a number of blocks is mined the difficulty to achieve the restart increases.

One of the things that makes us not all miners is energy, since to be able to mine a great power of energy is needed, since these devices have to have an optimal temperature to be able to work, so the energy cost is high.

There are countries where the mining of any currency is not legally allowed, these restrictions are one of the reasons why many people do not dedicate themselves to this trade.

Another thing to keep in mind is that to be a miner you have to be in a constant evaluation of the equipment to carry out the respective maintenance of the same.

Those who are dedicated to this field are people who have thoroughly studied how to get the most out of these machines. surely if you are new to this world it will cost you a lot to make your job profitable.



Why can cryptocurrency transactions be called more transparent?

They are transparent because they are 100% auditable, this means that we can verify all the data from beginning to end, since each block contains all the information we need, these transactions when running on a chain of blocks makes them immutable, which means that They cannot be modified later, nor can they delete transactions from these records, this makes these chains super transparent since in conventional systems transactions, the owner of the system having control of the system can modify at will and handle the figures as they see fit .

In a chain of blocks this is impossible to carry out, that is why the transactions are more transparent and secure, since each block being encrypted would have to have the result of all the encryptions from the initial block to the current block to be able to modify one transaction, not to mention the multiple verification systems that occur to make this an impossible task to perform, as it would take too powerful computing power to be able to do this similar to the computing power of everyone together.

Explain how the development of cryptocurrencies develops in your country.

It can be said that the development is high since for years the use of cryptocurrencies has been implemented, throughout the country, since the departure of the first cryptocurrency in the country called Bolivarcoin, this currency was the first to leave, then other projects were they were uniting, like ONIX and AREPACOIN, all independent, free projects that are currently in international markets.

These coins enjoyed great popularity at the time, since they were the first cryptocurrencies developed in the country, and they were well worked today, they continue to work, but the number of users or investors has dropped a bit, since the creators themselves have become the task of buying all the coins and few manage to acquire it, it can be said that they have their currency mafia, and are reaching the point of being classified as a scam,

After this panorama of independent coins controlled by their creators, and sold to people interested in the project, the Venezuelan government launched a coin that painted great things, even the creators of independent coins felt a relief when this coin the petro arrived, Since they believed that this currency would be the solution to the country's economic problems, this petro currency was backed with more than 20% of the national oil reserves, which gave an incredible boost to the use of cryptocurrencies in the country, this The coin in question has the value of a barrel of petroleum as indicated by its whiter paper.

But that it is supported and that it is a currency controlled by the government was not very well seen by the exchanges where it was not accepted, or the government itself did not want to list it, the truth is that this currency only works in centralized government exchanges that few people They visit, and this project has gone from less to more, the people of my country collect their monthly salaries in cryptocurrencies but when it comes to translating it into national currency it does not even reach 2 dollars, strange changes are not at all transparent from the government that neither they understand themselves.

Finally, I want to say that if it seems that my country has a great development in the world of cryptocurrencies, but as long as they are centralized and the government wants to regulate everything related to these electronic currencies, Venezuela will remain stagnant in terms of cryptocurrencies, we speak, since the projects Independent each day more and more people join and nobody wants the national cryptocurrency.



Conclusion

To conclude, it is important to know that cryptocurrencies are here to stay, the traditional financial system already knows it and many have begun to implement currency exchanges in their banking platforms, this due to the transparency that they provide and the security they provide, these cryptocurrencies are highly auditable, and their acceptance is increasing every day, there are countries that already have national cryptocurrencies, and that is progress since every day we are approaching a decentralized economy where we do not need a central entity to mediate a loan or simply to do a fiat currency and normal cryptocurrency exchange.
