He also stated that gaining grounds in the non-crypto market will aid its general adoption. He explained that as digital currencies are gaining ground, people will begin noting differences between transacting with cryptocurrency and hard currency. Then at this stage the people will have to choose which to adopt or go on with.

These nations are concerned that the utilization of hard currency might be fading slowly.
