Crypto-currencies aren’t without their share of controversies. These virtual currencies have created a revolution in both the economic and the financial front. Whether the founders of the crypto-currencies—such as Satoshi Nakamoto (Bitcoin), Charles Lee (Litecoin), Paul Snow (Factom), Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum), and many others—have profited from their product is not known. But their efforts have certainly contributed a digital revolution in the form of a radical new currency—the virtual currency—that, once all the loopholes are plugged, can one day replace the paper and plastic currencies as they had replaced gold as a mode of payment in the past.
