Over the last decade, numerous studies have examined the remarkable appreciation of cryptocurrencies and have typically focused on their price and the factors that predict them. In contrast, this paper argues that the success of a cryptocurrency is determined not only by its monetary value but also by the proliferation of its end users. Specifically, we hypothesize that changes in developers' and miners' activities drive the growing proliferation of a cryptocurrency's end users. Building on the Bitcoin case, we use a time-series model based on 4,285 Bitcoin daily observations to suggest that changes in the number of end users are anticipated by surges or drops in activity by the developers and miners who develop and maintain the network. We further find a limited relationship between these variables and the price of Bitcoin. These results support an alternative view of cryptocurrencies' success and highlight further research avenues in this nascent domain.

“…Cryptocurrency is a depiction of digital value that is independently created without the interference of any central bank or authority. This unique payment method provides consumers and retailers with a broad spectrum of exchanges while neglecting traditional payment service providers and their regulations [14]. By contrast, cryptocurrency-based payment methods are based on peer-to-peer networks that are maintained by computer nodes equipped with the power to operate the network and software [15].…”

Cryptocurrencies have transgressed ever-changing economic trends in the global economy, owing to their conveyance, security, trust, and the ability to make transactions without the aid of formal institutions and governing bodies. However, the adoption of cryptocurrency remains low among stakeholders, including e-retailers. Thus, the current work explores the intentions of e-retailers in the Asia and Pacific region to adopt cryptocurrencies. This study considers the TAM-based SOR, with a combination of non-cognitive attributes (compatibility and convenience) proposed as stimuli for e-retailers to adopt the examined cryptocurrencies. The findings indicate that the proposed non-cognitive attributes are critical in determining e-retailers’ technostress (emotional state). Moreover, it was found that technostress among e-retailers profoundly impacts their intentions to adopt cryptocurrency in business settings. Meanwhile, regulatory support communication can be used to help regulatory bodies and governing institutions control the future economy worldwide. The proposed study offers significant theoretical and practical contributions through its investigation of e-retailers’ intentions to adopt cryptocurrency for the first time in the particular context of technostress and regulatory support.

“…As for the crypto-assets, the cryptocurrencies issued have no centralized technical processing, without the precondition of trust to any institution, and without preset liability of any party to vouch for the intrinsic (Bordo & Levin, 2017;Mitschke, 2021). Cryptocurrencies have attracted the attention of information technology professionals, economists, investors, banks, governments, and law enforcement agencies (Molling et al, 2020).…”

This article maps the existing academics and working papers about cryptocurrency, or digital currency that uses blockchain. Cryptocurrency is one of the applications of blockchain that can accelerate economic digitalization within countries, which in the end could improve economic efficiency, effectiveness, and access for citizens. By the type of issuers, cryptocurrencies can be placed into three categories: central bank-issued digital currency, private institution digital currency, and peer-to-peer crypto-assets. The advent of cryptocurrencies requires strong regulatory frameworks to protect the users, ethics guidelines to direct the development, risk benefits study to identify pitfalls, users’ psychology, law enforcement guidelines to ensure a safe environment, and economic initiatives to provide society with maximized benefits. This paper shows research findings, methods, and future research directions in cryptocurrency.
