Forex Vs Cryptocurrency

Sponsored Post

The biggest difference is that you're dealing with a decentralized market. This means that you and the whole market don't need to follow the rules and regulations of the central authority. There is no Big Brother! On the forex market you deal with fiat currencies, regulated with central banks and accepted as the mean of payment in particular country. Butcoins, Ethereum or other cryptocurrencies aren't regulated or accepted by the government as te country's currencies.The value of each national currency is supported by the economy of this country and the governnment's promise to take this currency to pay for goods. But the source of bitcoin value is different, it can be described as deficit and untility. There is restricted number of maximum bitcoins in the world, only 21 millon. The more miners - the harder to mine. The harder to mine - the less supply, The less suply - the higher cost. But there is also utility. Demand is determined by what people think about utility of asset. And now there are two different spheres of utility of cryptocurrency - as an asset and as a mean of payment. That differs cryptocurrencies and forex, as no one see dollar or euro as asset, but as mean of payment and store of value. And that's the main difference.
