BICOIN USER ADOPTION,AND OPINION

in GEMS4 years ago

Bitcoin user adoption looks to be gathering pace as its price rises amid a coronavirus-induced rush for assets with safe-haven appeal.

The number of bitcoin addresses holding at least $10-worth of cryptocurrency recently rose to a record high of 16.6 million, according to data source Coin Metrics
That number is now up 14% from the previous peak of 14.5 million reached in January 2018, soon after the cryptocurrency's all-time price high of $20,000.
Essentially, there are now more addresses with a small balance than were seen at the height of the previous bull market.
The data suggests "a new bitcoin adoption cycle is brewing,” according to Lucas Nuzzi, network data product manager at crypto data provider Coin Metrics.
Address growth is not a precise indicator of bitcoin's user base because a single individual or entity can hold multiple addresses.

Adoption has gone up by 27% in the 4.5 months since the major crash in mid-March.
Bitcoin’s price has rallied by over 200% during the same period, and is up 64% year to date.
Relatively scarce assets like bitcoin and gold seem to have benefited from fears of a dwindling U.S. dollar and the inflation-boosting policies of central banks and governments.
