reputable companies utilizing Bitcoin’s blockchain technology will help to increase the currency’s acceptance. 
Due to these factors, we anticipate Bitcoin moving into a period of greater stability and 
adoption as a currency. This will continue to result in growth, but not at the breakneck speed of earlier years. However, it will not have the volatility of its infancy either.
On the contrary, the future of the currency ether depends upon Ethereum’s technology 
being used. Ethereum made great strides in having its technology accepted as the blockchain 
standard when Microsoft Azure started offering it as a service in November 2015. Microsoft 
indicated it chose Ethereum over Bitcoin because “[w]hile a platform like Bitcoin has many great 
uses specifically as a Cryptocurrency, btc to eth  provides the flexibility and extensibility many 
of our customers were looking for” (Gray, 2015). By offering Ethereum as part of Azure, 
Microsoft is making the technology available to far more users than would otherwise use it. This will help to spur further innovations.
One industry that is already developing many uses for Ethereum is the Internet of Things 
(IoT). For example, the Ethereum computer could unlock doors when someone rents an office or 
apartment space (Tual, 2016). As more and more devices are connected to the Internet, the 
ability for them to interact with one another by using Ethereum’s smart contracts becomes ever 
more valuable. In fact, IBM believes that blockchain technology is key to the success of IoT. In 
a time when over a billion devices could be connected to the internet, “the blockchain is the 
framework facilitating transaction processing and coordination among interacting devices. Each 
manages its own roles and behavior, resulting in an ‘Internet of Decentralized, Autonomous 
Things’ – and thus the democratization of the digital world” (IBM Institute for Business Value,

investment in January 2016 (Metz, 2016). While that percentage may seem small, it is growing  as Bitcoin becomes more accepted as a currency.  One thing the public expects from a currency is being able to easily spend it. Bitcoin  made strides in that area when Coinbase introduced the country’s first bitcoin debit card. The  company reported that more than 7,500 people signed up for the card within two months of its  launch (Metz, 2016). In addition to making it easier for users to spend their Bitcoin, it will also  help push more businesses to accept Bitcoin. By accepting Bitcoin outright, they can benefit  from lower service fees than from the Bitcoin debit card. In April 2016, another important step toward the legitimacy of Bitcoin occurred when  Bitstamp, a  btc to eth   exchange, was granted a payment institution license in Luxembourg. This  license allows Bitstamp to operate in all European Union countries under the EU’s “passport”  program. According to the exchange’s cofounder ...
