Though I'm new in the cryptocurrency space,I have been hearing so much about crypto ( Bitcoin precisely) lately even before I got registered on the forum and I had to ask this very question because in three days I've heard and seen people talk and discuss about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general and it prompted my question wanting to know why it has been talked about this much and gaining more acceptance in my local community despite it's restrictions in my country and is it also gaining this much fame in your environment?
It is because bitcoin offers freedom. People are not mostly free nowadays. Some of them think they are free but in reality they are just slaves. Bitcoin is putting an end to slavery. With bitcoin, you are your own bank. You have the total control of your funds. Gold offers a similar deal too but the difference is, bitcoin is actually portable and you can move it from one country to another without asking permission from anybody.
Bitcoin is life changing tech. Of course people will talk about it.
