Abstract

Bitcoin is considered the first and largest crypto currency with a blockchain system of recording transactions on thousands of machines at once enabling peer to peer transfer. There is no doubt that Bitcoin has received strong attention from the real world. Its innovative concept, reliable technology and advantages in application attract many people's attention. But Bitcoin has also brought many negative effects. To provide an organized response to the question around the potential benefits and harms of using Bitcoin, we designed an Impact Index comparing the impact from both sides of this topic.

However, more advanced technology, more regulated approach and changes in payment and financing methods may become the savior of Bitcoin.
