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?
This is easy, after a long bear market bitcoin has presented a good recovery during the previous days, and while we are still not entirely sure if the bear market is finally over, at least this gives holders and traders alike a chance to grab some profits.
And even if the profits are small for the standards of this market, bitcoin has grown 40% which is a big amount compared to other markets and if you use leverage the amount is even larger than that, so as you can see there is a strong justification why your are hearing so much about bitcoin at your community.
