The once niche-world of digital currencies, now a trillion-dollar industry, has infiltrated every aspect of our culture—media, tech, entertainment. Despite its volatility, millennials own more crypto than any other generation and that crypto currency enthusiasm seem to be spreading—from celebrity endorsements to the subliminal messaging in pop culture. Whatever the driving force behind the crypto craze, many in the finance world refer to it as a gamble rather than an investment, since the currency is still very much in its infancy and has yet to deliver on its grandiose promises to revolutionize global financial markets. More than that, the darker side of crypto that’s ripe for hackers and money launderers begs the question of whether or not a crackdown on crypto in the form of government regulation could be imminent. Additionally, the environmental impact of blockchain technology leaves behind a massive carbon footprint. Between the floodgates being opened for emerging crypto currencies and NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, becoming an attractive new way to maximize profits on digital assets, it seems like the world of unregulated, decentralized finance is here to stay…at least for now.
