Bitcoin - Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency's such as Bitcoin are just starting to make their way mainstream, due to corporations, banks, online payment, and credit card companies looking for a decentralized alternative to fiat money. Bitcoin is seen as a more superior reserve asset, and store of value than the U.S. dollar or gold. To preserve our purchasing power due to the potential for run-away inflation, along with an increasing monetary supply, converting cash into a digital currency such as Bitcoin can be appealing. If we look at long-term vehicles to park our cash as a comparison, there is little incentive for buying bonds, as yields on a ten year basis is less than 1.50% annual. Looking for a web site to stay up to date, and learn more about cryptocurrency, Cointelegraph is a quality site to explore. Below is a list of sectors that have recently adopted Bitcoin.
  • Online payment - PayPal
  • Corporations - MicroStrategy, Tesla
  • Credit Card - Mastercard
  • Insurance - Mass Mutual
  • Bank - BNY Mellon

Below is a daily chart of Bitcoin, which has broken out to new all-time highs, above $50,000, just this week. Thank you for reading.
