Cryptocurrency markets have seen a revival in some altcoins, including the leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC), following recent negative developments.
Positive Developments in BTC!
The social dominance metric has reached its highest monthly level in the past 24 hours. Considering the increased hope for the Bitcoin ETF due to the expiration of SEC’s objection period to Grayscale’s Bitcoin ETF, this may not be a coincidence.
In addition, the famous Italian car manufacturer Ferrari has announced that it will accept BTC as payment for vehicle sales. However, not all good news contributed to the increase in Bitcoin’s social dominance. There are also reports that the US is concerned about a Chinese Bitcoin mining operation in Wyoming posing a potential threat to national security.
Although this situation may not have a potential negative impact on the price, the first two highlighted the possibility of stronger long-term demand. Reports regarding Ferrari’s decision to accept BTC payments also emphasized the increasing adoption rate by mainstream businesses. However, there are several other reasons that could lead to the rapid adoption of Bitcoin.
Advantages of Bitcoin
One of the most important features of Bitcoin is its deflationary nature, making it an attractive long-term investment. However, there is another feature that is often overlooked. Bitcoin’s immutability and DeFi offer freedom from the traditional financial system and government regimes.
This can be clearly seen in Canada, where regulators have legalized banks suspending accounts without the need for a court order. There is already a social credit system in place, which can also eliminate certain social freedoms and, if not properly handled, hinder an individual’s access to finance. Such measures can facilitate governments’ financial control. Therefore, depending on the above factor, the long-term result may bring more demand for Bitcoin as people strive to reclaim their financial freedoms.
