Outlook
Bitcoin (BTC) continued a strong
uptrend over the weekend to almost $9,000, and the overall
cryptocurrency market has grown substantially. Regardless of a
crash, reverse, bull or bear market, both of these totals are just
about 10 times what they were one year ago. Continued investment
and implementation interest from major financial institutions and
private corporations is driving incentive to get in the market
soon.
