PALM BEACH, Fla., March 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Bitcoin was the first and is still most well-known cryptocurrency. People were skeptical at first but the cryptocurrency tidal wave hard to ignore! Despite Bitcoin being well known amongst traders for its price swings, many believe that this leading digital currency is here to stay. The beginning of the pandemic immediately sparked rumors about a new financial crisis hitting the globe with all its might. Indeed, nobody knew how long it would take the world to combat COVID-19. The government started the money creation process, and the US dollar index slid to the lowest level for the first time in the past few years. As the market hates uncertainty, the whole world froze, awaiting election results. Stock market and gold prices dropped again as a natural response to the election season, and everyone expected Bitcoin to follow the same falling trend, but it didn’t. A recent report from an industry watchdog, HackerNoon said: “Money ‘printing’ pumped up the economy to keep markets functioning. Yet nobody seemed to be thinking of the long-term consequences. The risk of inflation forced investors to start looking for other, more reliable assets to allocate their funds. Here’s where Bitcoin came to the rescue. Its price skyrocketed even more, compared to traditional financial markets. And that was just the beginning. As investors always keep looking for new opportunities, while the stock market and gold didn’t promise much return, it became a unique asset with huge potential.” Active companies with recent developments in the Tech Industry include: TechX Technologies Inc. (OTCPK: TECXF) (CSE: TECX), Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: GBTC), JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM), BTCS Inc. (OTCQB: BTCS), PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ: PYPL).
HackerNoon continued: “The Bitcoin addiction buzz also raised as PayPal announced it would enable buying, selling, and holding digital currencies. PayPal owns a huge payment infrastructure and sets a new trend that will soon be supported by others… the biggest debit payment system PayPal has joined the crypto market, allowing its users to hold, buy, and sell digital currencies in its online wallets. PayPal also said that beginning in 2021, PayPal customers will be able to use their crypto to pay at PayPal’s 26 million merchants worldwide with no incremental fees. Aside from this, more and more institutional investors are flocking in cryptocurrencies, raising the demand and making it more promising for others. As big players keep joining the game, the value of the whole cryptocurrency industry also keeps rising… To address high volatility, the consumers will immediately be converting their crypto balance to fiat. With a PayPal user base of 340 million, we can assure you that mass adoption is finally here.”
