*2.4. Stakeholders*

As digital currency changes the evaluated value of money and other financial assets, several stakeholder requirements and motives should be considered. The following are the stakeholders (formal and informal) a ffected by the adoption of cryptocurrencies: savers/bullish investors, government, other cryptographers, BTC exchanges/brokers, illegal black markets, BTC miners, and members of the public. As stakeholders desire stability and strength with any medium of transaction, some stakeholders are opposed to the widespread adoption of BTC. Specifically, the governmen<sup>t</sup> and other cryptographers may have an issue with the widespread adoption of the BTC as decentralized digital money where no governmen<sup>t</sup> or single entity can control the price or value.
