image"CRYPTOCURRENCY" was Among more than 850 new words and definitions added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary.
After confirming this news few days ago as geniune, my interest and involvement in Cryptocurrency activities grew more. So, I decided today to share it once again to those that have not known about it, to serve as an encouragement.
This is a positive development and a sign of gradual recognition and acceptability of our own cryptocurrency by the world system.
It is obvious that the pretence the world system has over the positive impacts of cryptocurrency in the recent status of world financial institution will soon fade off. It seems there plans against the engagement of cryptocurrency in todays online businesses doesn't hold water as expected.
The intension and motivation behind Meriam-webster dictionary's move, recognizing "Cryptocurrency" as one of the recent common words in the mouth of majority can also not be far from what the Twitter Chief and one of Silicon valley's leading Entrepreneurs, Jack Dorsey saw in the future of Bitcoin recently and made a very encouraging statement, according to THETIMES.CO.UK;
"Bitcoin will overtake the dollar in importance as it becomes the single global currency of the internet within a decade"

On the other hand, according to FORTUNE.COM, in adding Cryptocurrency with other words in MERIAM-WEBSTER Dictionary, Emily Brewster, Associate Editor at Merriam-Webster in a press release explained;
“In order for a word to be added to the dictionary it must have widespread, sustained, and meaningful use.”
“These new words have been added to the dictionary because they have become established members of the English language, and are terms people are likely to encounter.” source.
