Countless number of digital currencies are trying to rival the popularity of bitcoin, although there are many but no one can. In 2014 a new platfrom created by Vitalik Buterin, the platform has the name Ethereum. Etherium is a digital currency as well as a bitcoin crypto eye. With the help of his colleagues, Vitalik Buterin managed to get funding of US $ 18 million to fund the making of the platform. What makes this etherium popular is because it can make payments without going through a third party or by using a peer to peer network.
The world's largest cryptocurrency BITCOIN, continues to experience a decline during a long holiday weekend. The bitcoin decline continued selling after the hacking of a bitcoin trading company in South Korea some time ago. The decrease of bitcoin value makes bitcoin value weaken since 2015 ago. Senior market analyst at eToro brokers in Tel Aviv, Mens Greenspan, said that rising US dollar trading and lack of trading in the yen reduced bitcoin value. "Many investors tend to monetize the bitcoin on Christmas holidays," he said, as quoted by Bloomberg.
