In this bear market, everybody’s asking the same questions. Why is Bitcoin falling? When will the market turn around? Is this the end of the crypto boom?
However, before we can answer questions like these, we need to step back and do an honest appraisal of where our industry stands and what is really holding it back. Despite its growing popularity, cryptocurrency still struggles to gain mainstream appeal. While crypto has managed to distance itself from the early days, when it was used to buy illegal goods online, the currency still conjures up negative feelings for a lot of people unfamiliar with the technology — and all too often, for good reasons.
Cryptocurrency is still relatively new, which means that many casual users are still exploring different ways to use crypto in their day-to-day lives. Unfortunately, this lack of knowledge leaves a lot of users vulnerable to scammers seeking to take advantage of their ignorance and inexperience.
We’ve contacted various types of people within the crypto community, surveying newbies, traders, investors, and professionals, asking what the biggest problems in crypto are. We found there to be three major problems holding the industry back:
Scammers
Failed projects
Immature technology
Who hasn’t been scammed at least once?
The crypto community is overrun with scammers taking advantage of inexperienced and naive users. What’s more, scams don’t only occur on an individual level. There have been numerous cases where ICOs were hyped up, only to disappear into thin air once investors put money into them.
Then there’s the issue of failed projects. More often than not, this is a result of overly ambitious CEOs who have the technical knowledge to apply blockchain technology, but…
Are inexperienced in business and management
Don’t know how to attract investors
Don’t focus on practical, real-world functions for blockchain technology
Finally, there’s the blockchain technology itself, which is still in its earliest stages. As such, there’s little practical application for blockchain technology and real-world crypto usage. What’s more, many blockchain start-ups focus on very specific, niche projects that have little to no appeal to the average person. As a result, mainstream investors who don’t fully understand the nature of blockchain are much more reluctant to invest in the projects.
Building a better blockchain community
The good news is that, as blockchain technology continues to expand, more we’re able to explore new ways to overcome these issues and build a fully-inclusive community for everyone to enjoy.
