What makes Bitcoin so popular?

About a year ago, Bitcoin recorded the worst sales in history, with prices reaching $ 3.800.

A year later, Bitcoin had soared by more than 1.200% to reach all-time highs, well above $ 60.000, reaching the $ XNUMX trillion mark.

Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology continue to innovate in the industry and you will see their adoption by many different sectors inside and outside technology in the future.

Reasons why the price of Bitcoin is rising lately

The reason why we see the highest numbers of all time in 2021 is not due to its security or its decentralized character, offering people both privacy and security. However, nowadays it is not guided mainly by retailers, but by financial institutions.

Juggernaut BNY Mellon says digital currencies are the future

BNY Mellon manages about $2 trillion in digital currencies under management. They recently announced that they are going to collect Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on behalf of their customers. BNY Mellon develops a secure digital custody and multi-asset management for cryptocurrencies and money. The initiative came after an increase in demand from customers looking for a financial outlet in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies.

Elon Musk's Tesla invests $ 1,5 billion in Bitcoin

In January, Tesla revealed in a file to the SEC that they had bought $ 1,5 billion worth of Bitcoin. The reason behind this investment is that the American manufacturer of electric vehicles will start accepting Bitcoin as payment for their products. They want to offer more flexibility and maximize the efficiency of their stocks. Late last year, Musk had already indicated that Tesla could add Bitcoin to its balance sheets in the near future.

Visa will operate in the future with Bitcoin and blockchain

Visa was the most powerful enemy of Bitcoin and the encryption industry in general.

However, as both the long-term evolution and why cryptocurrencies see such a boom, their policy has changed. Instead of fighting the transition to digital currencies, Visa has become one of Bitcoin's biggest fans.

It is already working with over 30 cryptocurrencies and plans to launch a Visa crypto software program in 2021. The goal is to make cryptos more accessible to their existing banking customers.

It remains unknown where the price of Bitcoin will be at the end of 2021. At this time, the price has fallen below $ 60.000 again. What is certain is that the price of Bitcoin will not stabilize soon.

It is safe to say that the cryptocurrency and blockchain space will continue to see growth in areas of our lives where technology can improve our online habits..
