Ok, so the market was pretty boring this week ?. And since coin prices didn’t jump like they used to, it’s easy to think that the cryptoverse was just a dud.
But, Bitcoin actually crossed an important milestone this week ?. If you’ve got Bitcoin haters around you, then you probably want to show them this report ?.
Trillion With a “T”?
Even with the market downturn, it’s pretty cool to see that Bitcoin adoption has continued to grow. And this week, a researcher confirmed that Bitcoin has processed over $100 TRILLION in transactions since it was launched! ?
The metric showed all-time transactions – including Bitcoin transfers between wallets owned by the same person ?. If you filter it out to only consider actual transactions between two people, then Bitcoin’s total transaction count is closer to about $7.3 trillion. Still, though; for an asset that is less than 15 years old, this is huge! ?
Now, all that’s left is for this bear market to blow over, and one can only tell where we’ll be headed in a couple of years.
