Introduction
Blockchain is the technology that enable existence of Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin is the name of the
best known Cryptocurrency, the one for which Blockchain technology was invested. The each of
the following block involves “cryptographic hash” it include previous block and also involve
transaction of data (Treiblmaier, 2019). However, Cryptocurrency is the digital asset which is
mainly introduced to work and mainly considered the medium of exchange, it supports in
maintaining the overall records of the financial tractions. It also leads in maintaining security,
increase controlling for creating all the other additional units as well as also increase verification
for transferring the assets.
In this report “The Blockchain and Cryptocurrency” topic is selected, the report, will describe all
the key themes which should be included in the study, the discussion will also made on
describing the strategy of searching the database. Further, report will discuss the different
perception and opinions of the authors and research question by evaluating the research gap in
the study.
Search strategy
The information gathering was done by adopting secondary method that is by adopting literature
review method in which different and similar opinions of the researchers regarding the similar
topic is discussed. The information is gathered from taking the information from the peer
reviewed articles which all are published within the year 2014-2019. The study will also include
academic journal articles which are also published within the similar year. The article review is
selected from the journals which are from the “University of Cambridge”. To review the article
license is also holds by the researchers “which is mainly powered by the EBSCO host”. It is
revealed that all the database is included to gather the complete information about the two sets of
subject area which include “Blockchain” and “Cryptocurrency”.
Keywords
The keywords of the include “Cryptocurrency”, “Blockchain”, “Financial transaction”, “Industry
productivity”, “transferable”.

Databases
The database of the related topic will received from the “academic articles”, “peer review
article” to gather all the information about the application of Blokchain technology and benefits
as well as challenges received through applying Blockchain and Cryptocurrency. The
information will be received by selecting article from the year 2014 to 2019.
Inclusion/ Exclusion criteria
The relevant articles which are appropriate for the study will be included in the study to
understand the influence of Blockchain technology in industry and to cover various other terms
such as identifying challenges so that it can be overcome in future. Therefore, these aspects are
included in the study and “commentaries” as well as “editorials” excluded from gathering the
information about the subject matter.
Process
The data collection was done through identifying the database and inclusion criteria for selecting
the appropriate and valid information about the “Cryptocurrency”, “Blockchain”. The keywords
help in getting relevant information which is developed to make it as the search strategy. From
the various articles are most appropriate journals which is associate the subject areas is selected
for review.
Themes
The themes which are selected in the proposed report includes:-
 “Block-chain and crypto currency”
 “Benefits of Block-chain and crypto currency”
 “Challenges of Block-chain and crypto currency”
 “Impact of Block-chain on industry”
These themes are selected because the estimation describes that there are various advantages
of using “Block-chain and crypto currency”, but still various challenges arise which affecting
the security and transactions. The different industries adopt “Block-chain technology” it is
because of providing positive outcomes.
