As Bitcoin hits critical resistance, its price action has been a bit choppy. Still, the conviction of institutional investors and large organizations diving into cryptocurrency and blockchain continues to accelerate.
The Fed Goes Down
Earlier this week, the Federal Reserve’s payment network for sending wires and transfers had a major service disruption (CoinTelegraph). This outage, while temporary, reveals some of the fragility of the existing financial system, leading many to shout from the rooftops, “The Bitcoin network has never gone down!”
Current events like this continue to legitimize the decentralization of important financial transactions, data, and computing power on encrypted blockchains. As Bitcoin’s fundamentals continue to grow, so does a new wave of institutional growth and adoption.
Bitcoin Balance Sheet Boom
MicroStrategy continues to increase its Bitcoin balance sheet, purchasing 19,452 Bitcoin worth $1.026 billion, at an average price of $52,765 (DeCrypt). This brave and bold effort of accumulating Bitcoin even nearing the all-time high price shows just how bullish Michael Saylor, Microstrategy CEO, is about the rare digital asset, and he’s not alone.
The Future is Digital (Assets)
Investors now have their sights set on building the world’s first blockchain-powered smart cities, powered by trustless technology, immutable transactions, and true fiscal transparency. A much-needed evolution to move the underlying technology and infrastructure powering cities forward.
Bitcoin outflows from exchanges demonstrate that there continues to be a massive institutional accumulation of Bitcoin, even at these record-breaking levels. Despite this shaky price action and due to the billions of dollars of Bitcoin being accumulated, many are left wondering, will this time be different? Only time will tell.
