“Many Aussies are now much clearer on the benefits cryptocurrencies offer, such as Bitcoin being a hedge against fiat currency and inflation, plus the ability to earn interest on assets through things like stablecoins and decentralised finance on Ethereum,” he said. “If the pace of education continues to grow, combined with easier access to cryptocurrencies, we should expect to see it as a dominant financial industry by the end of the decade, especially among younger generations who have never had meaningful access to traditional finance.” 

“As the technology develops and there are easier ways to access it like in the finder app where you can buy Bitcoin and Ethereum in a few clicks I believe the growth in Cryptocurrency will explode,” he said.
