Cryptocurrency Prediction
Cryptocurrencies allow people to make transactions without the intervention of third parties. Unlike traditional currencies, cryptocurrencies are a medium based on networks that facilitates digital exchange using robust cryptographic algorithms to ensure the security of records ( Patel, Tanwar, Gupta, and Kumar, 2020 ). It is believed that Satoshi Nakamoto conceived the initial idea of cryptocurrencies in 2008, realizing the need for a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. This implied the absence of participation from the government, financial institutions, or any other third party, and that transactions would be tracked via blockchains, ensuring transparency ( Nakamoto, 2008 ). However, this also meant that the currencies were not governed, regulated, or validated by third parties, making them highly volatile. It is difficult to assess the risk of such a currency based on public perception, which can lead to a sudden devaluation ( Chowdhury, Rahman, Rahman, and Mahdy, 2020 ). Nevertheless, numerous attempts are made to predict the future prices and volatility of cryptocurrencies. This section reviews the literature on the price prediction of specific cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Monero, Dogecoin, and many more Table 6 .#PIXELS
