In 2020, Bitcoin’s value increased by a staggering 300%. This crptocurrency has only been around for a decade or so, and in the year 2020, its demand had increased significantly. It had managed to attract more US investors, because of its perceived inflation-hedging qualities along with the potential for quick gains, and expectations that it would become one of the mainstream payment methods in the near future.

Amidst Covid-19 Pandemic, people also considered Bitcoins as a safe investment for the future just like gold, therefore they started to trade bitcoins.

It’s very likely that the asset will eventually pass $100,000 per coin. People have been steadily losing faith in their government currencies for years, and the monetary policies resulting from the economic impact of the coronavirus have only accelerated this decline.

You can trade bitcoins on a number of exchanges, the largest of which is Coinbase, which is itself planning to go public and become the first such platform to be listed on Wall Street. A number of other cryptocurrencies use similar blockchain, or electronic ledge technology are also witnessing a surge in their values.
