IMF Academic Institution has prepared a practical guide on cryptocurrencies that illustrates in a simple and dynamic way the most relevant aspects of this new monetary trend, essential to know the current financial forms of collection and payment.
Thanks to their characteristics and financial possibilities, these new currencies open an enormous field for innovation and financial engineering in means of payment. Therefore, this guide considers the use of cryptocurrencies in different contexts, from investment to means of payment among others.
The aim is to adapt the subject matter to the needs of companies and investors, and to be able to apply it to other business realities without any recommendation other than financial prudence in investments. The guide explains each area of cryptocurrencies from a simple point of view with different scenarios and different contexts without implying any recommendation at the investment level and being a guide to better understand key concepts.

The survey is open to the public, does not collect personal data and the information obtained will be used for scientific purposes by the team of researchers at the University of Zaragoza.
-First of all, we decided that we should focus on Bitcoin since the few companies that accept payment with cryptocurrencies practically all of them do it exclusively in Bitcoin. Our objective is to determine the most important determinants of the acceptance of Bitcoin as a means of payment. To this end, we have developed different research models in which we consider variables specific to the individual (such as personality or attitude towards risk), the environment and the technology.

It is also important to protect those layers of the population that cannot access this type of technology. Otherwise, the digital divide could become an abyss difficult to bridge. Thus, the Bitcoin Law points out the need for the State to promote the acquisition and mechanisms for the population to have access to bitcoin transactions and excludes from the obligation to accept bitcoin as a means of payment those who, as a matter of fact and evidently, do not have access to the technologies that allow bitcoin transactions to be executed.
We can think that the path initiated as of June 9, 2021 in El Salvador will evolve through the adoption in the future of other cryptocurrencies that allow not only the exchange of goods and services, but also the programmability and enforceability of certain rules, somewhat more complex than a mere transaction between peers, through the development of Smart Contracts.
The potential opportunities and challenges of using these blockchain protocols are in our opinion highly linked to the application context and/or target industry sector, but that is why organizations should not implement solutions looking for problems, but rather, find concrete problems in their operations or business and look for the solutions that blockchain can provide.

Months of relative calm in bitcoin prices after last winter’s wild swings had fueled hopes that it would expand its use for payments, which was its stated purpose.
But its dip in use as a payment currency has prompted large financial firms and other cryptocurrency participants to scramble for better technology infrastructures to encourage bitcoin’s use as a form of payment.
The firm collected data from 17 bitcoin payment processors, including Atlanta-based BitPay, one of the largest. Most merchants that accept bitcoins do not do so directly and instead use intermediaries such as BitPay to convert bitcoins into fiat currencies.
«Bitcoin payment processing is experiencing a slow but steady decline,» Lex Sokolin, global director of financial technology strategy at research firm Autonomous Next, said of the Coinpayments data.
