The article terminates the author's series of publications on the impact of system of stereotypes of behaviour – "success formula" - on the development of phases of the life cycle of the socio-economic systems [7-11]. The author argues in favor of the view that lifecycle of any object of management is a complex spiral consisting of 10 phases, each of which, in turn, can be regarded as a separate life cycle. Because of the stereotypes of behaviour, prevailing during previous lifecycle phases, a change of lifecycle phases often leads to a crisis and is accompanied by painful correction of exchange proportions. The author motivates his conclusion that the modern economic crisis is caused by the distortion of exchange proportions. The indexes of changes in exchange proportions are proposed to use as an indicator of stability of the world market. Proposals on overcoming the crisis are made.

Introduction: Cryptocurrency is an innovative decentralized virtual currency concept. It has emerged as a new type of investment vehicle in the world, much like gold. The current research was carried out to investigate the impact of cryptocurrency on the world market and its future potential in relation to its rising prominence among investors and traders alike. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was based on the interviews of individuals trading in cryptocurrencies and data collected from magazines, websites, electronic newspapers, and research articles. The collected data sets were analyzed by a data analysis model created by me. Results: Only Cryptocurrencies with decentralized systems are trusted by investors for the fact that they can't be controlled by a single entity. Some countries have legalized crypto while some have banned them. Overall, a majority of the world still has yet to comment on the legality of Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency market is highly volatile as it is based on a simple supply and demand strategy. Bitcoin mining generates 35.95 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions and 12,000 tons of electronic waste a year. The applications of this system promise free, fast transactions, a guarantee of privacy, and a traceable supply-chain framework. Conclusion: The findings indicated that cryptocurrency has a swiftly rising user base. With its fair share of advantages and disadvantages, it is a global phenomenon. Given the correlation between investors and asset flow, its future looks promising. It is necessary to promote this next chapter in the evolution of digital assets.

In the distant past prices of primary commodities had shown a tendency of decrease and their increase was recorded only during the First and Second World Wars. Since 1950s there had been recorded a slight decrease in global price indices of primary commodities, while in early 1970s they grew to a considerable extent. After that and up to 2001 the global nominal price indices and particularly real price indices of non-energy primary products drastically fell reaching the lowest level in their history. This applied to prices of all primary commodities as a whole as well as to all groupings of these products. On the other hand, prices of industrial products exported by developed countries to underdeveloped and medium-developed ones, dynamically grew in the second half of the previous century. Thus, the terms of trade substantially aggravated for underdeveloped countries whose exports structure is still dominated by non-energy primary commodities. Therefore, the negative correlation was clearly manifested between a very high share of primary commodities in the structure of commodity exports and a very low per capita income in a number of developing countries. The drastic fall in prices of primary commodities and the simultaneous dynamic growth in prices of industrial products caused to a great extent reduction of the share of primary commodities in the world commodity trade - from 57 per cent recorded in 1950 to only over 20 per cent recorded in late 20th and early 21st centuries. Among numerous factors that have brought about a drastic fall in prices of primary commodities the most prominent are: technical and technological progress in their production, production of their substitutes, in traffic and other sectors as well. Apart from this, the decrease in prices of primary commodities has been considerably caused by change in exchange rate at par to US dollar, agricultural policies of developed countries, privatisation of companies that produce commodities and particularly by too excessive production and purchase in relation to demand and spending that in recent years have been under the impact of recession that has emerged in developed economies and a number of newly industrialised and developing countries, as well as a very slow revival of economies in transition. By all this, a drastic fall in prices of a number of particular products from this group has also resulted from the impact exerted by some specific factors. Taking into consideration the fact that the impact of the most important factors that have brought about the drastic fall in prices of primary commodities is of permanent character and that it will be exerted to a greater or lesser extent in the next dozen of years the experts of the World Bank forecasted in late 2002 that, taken as a whole, the real prices of primary commodities would slightly increase by 2015, but they would still be at a lower level than in 1990. By all this, they forecasted that the real prices of energy commodities (this also including raw oil) would be considerably reduced in that period.
