Bitcoin’s Rapid Expansion
Last month, DigiLyfe discovered that the total market for cryptocurrency stood at $48,567,465,937 USD. As of today, the market hovers around $103,804,924,910 USD.
In other words, cryptocurrency, on the whole, experienced a net growth of more than $55,237,458,973 in one month.
This incredible margin is both unprecedented and largely welcomed for its seemingly stabilizing effects.
In fact, your major bank may now offer Bitcoin tools and account support. We’ve seen Bitcoin’s value change, but what we hadn’t seen was a large number of traditional banks creating cryptocurrency infrastructure. That, too, is beginning to happen.
Buy low and Sell High

But smart investors aim to buy low and sell high. Will the price drop? Maybe
Bitcoin does have a history of large fluctuation. Eight years ago, between December 4th, 2013 and May 12th, 2014, Bitcoin dropped from $1,151 to $441.
Recently, Mark Cuban took to Twitter to say, “I think [Bitcoin is] in a bubble. I just don’t know when or how much it corrects. When everyone is bragging about how easy they are making [money–that shows this growth is the result of a] bubble”
DigiLyfe will continue to cover Bitcoin, FinTech, and other cryptocurrency news on our blog.
