Bitcoin, the forerunner of cryptocurrencies, was coincidentally introduced at a time when the global financial marketplace was in the midst of a crisis. The decentralized, pseudo-anonymous financial system presented an alternative to the status quo. While shaking up the concept of currency, this alternative financial system has not taken popular hold. The purpose of this study was to investigate the intricacies of Bitcoin and how financial and security concerns have slowed widespread investment. This research examined limitations of the Bitcoin system to assist in interpreting the scope of financial and security risks inherent in the market.

520 $a Bitcoin, the forerunner of cryptocurrencies, was coincidentally introduced at a time when the global financial marketplace was in the midst of a crisis. The decentralized, pseudo-anonymous financial system presented an alternative to the status quo. While shaking up the concept of currency, this alternative financial system has not taken popular hold. The purpose of this study was to investigate the intricacies of Bitcoin and how financial and security concerns have slowed widespread investment. This research examined limitations of the Bitcoin system to assist in interpreting the scope of financial and security risks inherent in the market.
520 $a This research discovered how the Bitcoin system innately fosters financial risk. In the cryptocurrency market, trust is essential to maintaining value and Bitcoin's price volatility brings economic risk to investors. The lack of price stability and lack of complete anonymity restrict wider adoption of the cryptocurrency. Security breaches also undermine user confidence in Bitcoin. Online criminals are lured in by the same features that draw investors, decentralization and ease of access. While the Bitcoin system itself is highly secure, third-party intermediaries, that Bitcoin users rely on, have become points of failure.
520 $a This research recommended, while prices remain volatile, investors secure themselves by limiting large investments in Bitcoin. The research pointed to a need to increase user confidence by stabilizing Bitcoin prices, but how remains elusive. Expanding Bitcoin as a method of payment among businesses could lead to potential users. Improving security, through cybersecurity self-awareness and via cryptocurrency advisors, would reduce vulnerability to Bitcoin theft and loss. For the first time, investors are their own bank.
