Cryptocurrency has skyrocketed to great acclaim over the last number of months, especially since the turn of the year. As I am sure is the case for many people, my interest was piqued during the recent social media ‘rebellion’ orchestrated by Reddit’s WallStreetBets which resulted in the dramatic escalation in value of stocks which Wall Street and investors at large previously had a low opinion of, such as GameStop and AMC, but to mention a few. Recent indications evidence that this social media rally appears to have shifted to cryptocurrency. This transition to mainstream has provoked me to get involved in cryptocurrency, albeit at a small level, both as a way of potentially generating some income, but also to educate myself on the virtual currency world, such is the probability of it playing an increasingly significant role in my life as the years go on.
