Análise de viabilidade da criptomoeda Bitcoin como meio de pagamento

Abstract

Since the creation of the Internet, many companies that have been able to take advantage of their potential have excelled in their businesses, gaining a significant advantage over their competitors, some even went beyond and have managed to change sectors already consolidated. Much has been seen of small organizations that have become disruptive of business models, with changes that directly affect the economy and the way society lives, reaching even the scope of the currencies, which until the present moment had been centrally controlled and monopoly by financial institutions. With the advent of Blockchain technology, it was possible to create a virtual currency, called Bitcoin, which uses cryptographic evidence as a demonstration of trust for its users in transactions on the platform, allowing numerous benefits for users, including low transaction costs, ease of transportation, transparency and mainly the absence of third parties to control the currency, allowing its value to be adjusted by the market, and can be considered as a risk due to its volatility. Although it seems very promising, a lot of resistance can be perceived today, it being understood that as long as people and companies do not deepen in the knowledge of this innovation, the whole system of payment made by cryptomoedas may be compromised for the next years.
