Ondruška, Daniel ; Krištoufek, Ladislav (advisor) ; Debatz, Laure (referee)
Cryptocurrencies are well known asset that almost everyone at least heard of. Some of these cryptocurrencies have all of its supply already in circulation, while others do not. Two biggest cryptocurrencies, Ethereum and Bitcoin, have their supply being increased every day through the process known as mining, which many never even heard of.
