 Perhaps you don't own any Bitcoins, but how do you back up your data?

Whether Bitcoin has a future as a real alternative to traditional currency is debatable. Payment specialists Consult Hyperion think it is unlikely as people would need to be comfortable sharing all their transactions as well as needing to manage their own Bitcoin security (Consult Hyperion, 2015). The bank BNY Mellon also thinks it is unlikely, especially as countries including Iceland, Vietnam and China have banned the use of Bitcoins (BNY Mellon, 2015).

Whilst Bitcoin is the best known, there are alternatives, such as Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple and many more. What Bitcoin has achieved is awareness of a new disruption digital currency.
