Although they are currently subjected to market volatility, cryptocurrencies are entering our life to change it dramatically, becoming over time a key component for buying tickets, forming and managing businesses or paying salaries, says Lane Rettig, a former developer of Ethereum, the second most popular decentralized system.
In an interview with Yahoo Finance, Rettig assures that "cryptocurrencies will have a profound and lasting impact on our lives."
"What we have seen so far is relatively superficial. The social impact has only just begun. It is going to affect all corners of society, of our daily lives," he adds.
Rettig believes that cryptocurrencies have only taken the first steps towards their adoption and compares the current situation with that of 1980, before Apple introduced its Mac personal computer.
"We are a year or two away from them being easier to use," he estimates.
