Money is one of the most valuable and most sought after goods in the
world, affecting people in almost every aspect of their lives. One of the
most controversial innovations in this field are cryptocurrencies. It is
a currency that is not protected by government regulations or law, making
it immune to government interference. The currency is fully decentralized,
and unlike fiat money, the government cannot influence its value. The
first cryptocurrency created, and the most commonly used, is the already
mentioned Bitcoin. In view of the fact that critics increasingly affect the
functioning of a number of institutions, it is worth seeing what their social
and ethical aspects are.
