The State of Business Cryptocurrency in 2018

Cryptocurrency has been around for nearly a decade, but it wasn't until 2017 that it really started to take off. Bitcoin, the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, reached an all-time high of over $19,000 in December of 2017.

Since then, the cryptocurrency market has cooled off a bit, but interest in it has not diminished. In fact, many businesses are starting to explore the use of cryptocurrency as a way to streamline their operations and reduce costs.

But is cryptocurrency a good fit for your business? This article will explore the pros and cons of using cryptocurrency in your small business.

The Pros of Using Cryptocurrency in Business

1. Increased security and privacy.

Cryptocurrency is encrypted, which means that it is much more secure than traditional forms of payment like credit cards. In addition, blockchain technology (the technology that powers cryptocurrency) is pseudonymous, meaning that your transactions are not tied to your personal identity. This can be important for businesses that want to keep their transactions confidential.

2. Reduced transaction fees.

Cryptocurrency transactions are much cheaper than traditional transactions. This is because there are no banks or other middlemen involved in the process. This can save your business a lot of money in transaction fees.

3. Faster and easier international transactions.

Cryptocurrency can be used to conduct transactions all over the world in a matter of minutes. This is thanks to the blockchain technology that powers it. This can be a huge advantage for businesses that conduct a lot of international transactions.

4. Increased flexibility.

Cryptocurrency is not tied to any specific country or currency. This means that you can use it to purchase goods and services all over the world without having to worry about exchange rates.

The Cons of Using Cryptocurrency in Business

1. Volatility.

The value of cryptocurrency is highly volatile, which can be a risk for businesses that don't want to risk losing money.

2. Lack of regulation.

Cryptocurrency is not regulated by any government or financial institution. This can be a concern for businesses that want to be sure that their money is safe.

3. Limited acceptance.

Not many businesses currently accept cryptocurrency as payment. This means that you may have to convert your cryptocurrency into traditional currency in order to use it.

4. Lack of consumer protection.

Cryptocurrency is not backed by any government or financial institution. This means that if something goes wrong with your transaction, you may not be able to get your money back.

So, is cryptocurrency right for your business?

The pros and cons of using cryptocurrency in business can be summed up as follows:

Pros:

1. Increased security and privacy.
2. Reduced transaction fees.
3. Faster and easier international transactions.
4. Increased flexibility.

Cons:

1. Volatility.
2. Lack of regulation.
3. Limited acceptance.
4. Lack of consumer protection.
