Cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, are exploding on the marketplace. Cryptocurrencies are promising huge technological advances in our economy by relying on the new blockchain technology.
Initial coin offerings raised $7 billion in capital last year, and this year ICOs are expected to raise over $20 billion in capital.
