The advancement in technology has brought so many things to our world today. One of the remarkable advancements in technology today is the blockchain. It has brought so many things one of which is the invention of cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrencies are also becoming tools for trade and exchange and also investment such as Bitcoin.
Notwithstanding that we now have cryptocurrencies there are still challenges in payment. One of the challenges is that people have not yet fully accepted cryptocurrencies as a means of payment which is also now affecting the growth of cryptocurrencies.

It does appear as if there is a competition between cryptocurrencies and fiat money (traditional currencies such as the United States Dollar, Euro, the Swiss Franc and many other fiat currencies).
One of the challenges and reasons why cryptocurrencies have not been fully accepted by the larger part of the population is the hassles associated with signing up on the numerous available platforms.
Another challenge is the unpredictability of the platforms. The layman does not have the needed understanding of these cryptocurrency platforms.

Players in the cryptocurrency space also face the challenge of high fees which are charged by these platforms.
There is the need to come up with a solution to these challenges so that cryptocurrencies can begin to receive much wider acceptability.
