Looking at the charts, big changes are recorded in Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, Zambia, Botswana, Malawi, Ethiopia, and Mozambique. All of these countries show a strong increase in P2P volume throughout 2020. It is also worth noting that, in these regions, Bitcoin is traded against domestic currencies.

The FCA survey indicates that most of the crypto asset holders are knowledgeable about Bitcoin and altcoins. This is also why they hold their coins, instead of flipping them. Cost-averaging is crucial when one wants to hold these assets. With the help of companies such as CoinCorner, that process becomes a lot easier.

Bridging the gap between legacy financial systems and modern money is anything but easy. Bank accounts and payment cards are very different from Bitcoin. Strike ensures all of these systems work well with one another, instead of creating barriers to entry.

In terms of related queries, the Bitcoin halving of 2020 generated a lot of search volume. People wanted to know how this would affect the price and position of this asset. There are also ample people looking for ways to double their money with BTC, which is somewhat to be expected.

Launching a native browser plugin will ensure that users automatically receive a Bitcoin cashback on eligible platforms.  At the time of writing, roughly 600 participating retailers offer a cashback of sorts. The plugin will notify users that a cashback is present if they visit any of these companies. This is a non-invasive way to remind users that they are missing out on “free” Bitcoin rewards.

A new Bitcoin scam has reared its head in the Philippines over the past few weeks. Known as Bitcoin Revolution, it is another get-rich-quick scheme that will ultimately lead to severe financial losses. This Ponzi scheme follows in the footsteps of KAPA, another destructive investment scam affecting the same region not that long ago.

To put this into perspective, Schiff pays focus to three key assets. First of all, there is a gold, which won’t surprise anyone. Secondly, he pays close attention to US treasuries, which is always a bit of a risk. Last but not least, he greatly vales the US Dollar. Now is a good time to determine how all three safe havens have performed in the first half of 2020.

This is despite there being an average of 311,726 confirmed transactions per day. It would indicate that overall network fees are coming down, albeit there is still an average of $2,594 in fees per Bitcoin block. A significant amount, all things considered.

During the first eight years of Bitcoin’s lifespan, it was relatively easy to become part of the 10 BTC Club. Holding on to that balance as the price crept higher has always been a different matter. Overall, the net result is how more unique addresses own at least 10 Bitcoin compared to that period.

Convincing the remaining 87% of the potential of crypto assets will be challenging. A lot of people remain hesitant to invest money in this industry at this time. The main reason for this hesitation, according to LiteBit, is a lack of knowledge. Educating people about crypto assets has been an ongoing struggle for many years now. Despite some efforts, little to no improvements have been made in this regard.

Using WBTC benefits both traders and service providers. Tapping into more liquidity is excellent, yet it also offers a way for users to get in on everything the Ethereum ecosystem has to offer. Whether it is exploring different trading pairs or even venturing into the growing DeFi ecosystem, everything is possible. As such, it would appear as if WBTC is of great interest, especially in recent days.

Of those 170 days, 154 days were spent accumulating BTC. Some days noted a very active buying sprees, whereas others seemed a bit meek in comparison. When the prices hit a low in early March,  several holders kept accumulating by buying at these lower prices. That is normal behavior, as cost-averaging is crucial with any investment.

In the media, Bitcoin is often mislabeled as being either private or anonymous. Neither of these labels can be attributed to the leading cryptocurrency. In the best scenario, Bitcoin users have pseudonymity, which is far from the same as privacy or anonymity.

The core statistic is how the total USDT transaction volume on Ethereum has now surpassed $300 billion. It is a very strong increase, as the year 2020 has contributed $170 billion so far. It is a matter of time until the $250 billion mark for the year 2020 is achieved.

One would expect the ERC-20 USDT version to be popular. That certainly has been the case in the past. Since the initial issuance in early 2018, the amount of USDT on Ethereum has increased gradually.  At the peak in late September 2019, over 1.022 billion ERC-20 USDT is in exchange wallets. A remarkable amount, albeit it has never been reached since. 

Why is this supply dwindling so rapidly, though?
