When the first touch screen was introduced, the first hand-held mobile phone or even the first computer mouse, they were all received with some marvel and a lot of skepticism.

It took many years of further development and sometimes re-invention of the product before it caught on.

Digital currencies or crypto currencies as they are more commonly known are nothing new. As early as the 1990's some very smart people started working on some form of digital currency but as the case with many early innovators the time for digital money was not right.

The reinvention of digital currencies came in the wake of the largest financial crash the world had seen in the past 50 years, with many people becoming either unemployed, bankrupt or even homeless.

The impact of bitcoin wouldn’t have been so profound as it has been if it wasn’t for these scars many had to carry out through the recession.

Now a decade later, the development and interest in crypto currencies has spawned a global industry. With over 1500 different digital currencies to choose from and many hundreds under development.

The majority of these digital currencies will provide a short-term gain for some people and loss for many others. While a few digital currencies will push the agenda forward.

With one particular crypto currency becoming the foundation on which, all future payments will happen.

Is it such a stretch to not have physical notes or coins in our wallets?

Most of the wealth in the world is already digital, it exists in banking systems across the world and is consisted of a row of binary numbers which makes up the account balance and history.

With bitcoin, the internet and a global recession the seed for a digital currency was planted and it’s growing fast.

Out of this growth came many new innovations and new digital currencies that stretched the usability from a hand full of applications to many thousands of applications and integrations, through the form of smart contracts.

Now 10 years after our global crash we are getting a 3rd generation crypto currency.

This new generation also hails forth a real step in getting the world currencies going digital.

With the introduction of banking integrations and other digital currency integrations through so called side chains.

A security and validation system called Proof of Stake which keeps all the security benefits while reducing energy waste and a share holder decision making process to allow future ownership and development changes to be controlled by everyone who owns this digital currency.

We are reaching the final steps of global adoption.

The ideas were there in the past, the technology has now become the present and the global digital currency framework is in the very near future.
