Geopolitica delle CRIPTOVALUTE: la guerra per la supremazia dei BITCOIN

Cryptocurrencies, and with them Bitcoins, are to date an advanced digital payment tool. These currencies, with their blockchain system, have attracted increasing attention in the world of politics and economics. Nation states, starting with major geopolitical players including the US, China and Russia, are re-evaluating the use of cryptocurrencies. While Bitcoin and Ethereum can be a dangerous tool that undermines the monetary and financial stability of institutional central banks, they can also be a method by which to attract more influence at the political level. This is well known by the Russians and the Chinese, who have recently been developing their own digital currency in an attempt to gain a monopoly on the global cryptocurrency and mining market. What Bitcoin's future will be is hard to predict. It may or may not be a speculative bubble. That will depend on what turn the geopolitical balance takes in the coming years.
