Ross, Elanor. “Why cryptocurrencies could be the future of the global economy.” The Guardian, (2021, January 25)

            In this digital newspaper, Eleanor Ross makes the case that by offering safe, decentralized, and effective payment methods, cryptocurrencies could drastically alter the state of the world economy. She draws attention to the benefits of cryptocurrencies over conventional payment methods, including reduced transaction costs, quicker settlement times, and higher transparency. Ross also points out that other central banks are considering issuing their own digital currencies, which might hasten the adoption of cryptocurrencies. Reputable news source The Guardian has received multiple honors for its reporting, including the Pulitzer Prize. The International Monetary Fund and the Bank of England are two reliable sources that are cited in the well-researched text. I will use this piece to explain the advantages and the overcoming challenges of crypto.

  1. “Cryptocurrencies are faster, cheaper, and more secure than traditional payment systems.”
  2. “Central banks are exploring the possibility of launching their own digital currencies, which could transform the global financial system.”
  3. “The rise of cryptocurrencies could lead to a more decentralized and democratic economy, with greater financial inclusion for all.”
