Bitcoin (BTC) on the Verge of Internet Like Adoption

The current Bitcoin bull run which saw the top cryptocurrency post a new ATH of $49,000 seems to be finally gearing up for mainstream adoption as financial institutions like Tesla and MicroStrategy are using it as a Treasury Reserve Asset, while the growing retail demand has made many mainstream federal banks to consider offering direct Bitcoin purchase.

All these factors are quite evident of Bitcoin is on the verge of mainstream adoption quite similar to the Internet which was initially discarded considering it was slow and costly at the start, however as the infrastructure developed, it has become an integral part of our lives. The data suggest that the adoption rate of Bitcoin is better than the internet.

Developing countries such as Africa and India just like the internet boom have taken a passive stance towards the use of Bitcoin and crypto, quite similar to their approach to the dot com boom of the late 90s and early 2000s. India is currently known as the IT outsourcing of the world but not the capital for similar reasons. The current Bitcoin fund announced by Jack Dorsey and the recent Tesla Bitcoin purchase should be an eye-opener for the government.
