It has to be Avg. Score for Cryptocurrencies

(1) Easy to Use 3/10

(2) Widely Accepted 2/10

(3) Stable 0/10

(4) Cost Efficient* 3/10

There are different types of tokens, and coins, that has different scores, for example DAI(a Decentralized Stablecoin on Ethereum Network), might score 8 in stability test, but would fail, in acceptance, or cost-efficiency test, no decentralized payment method, or currency had been seriously able to challenge any traditional method of payments.

The current blockchains suffer from multiple drawbacks, a few of them include, high energy consumption, scalability, and poor performance.

The spectacular success of Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology in recent years has provided enough evidence that a widespread adoption of a common cryptocurrency system is not merely a distant vision, but a scenario that might come true in the near future.
