Last year, the Bitcoin Network surpassed both Visa and Mastercard when it came to total processing transaction value.

The increasing adoption of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a form of payment has revolutionized the traditional banking system, allowing users to make safe and secure payments without relying on third-party intermediaries.
This trend of cryptocurrency adoption can be attributed to its strong security features, such as cryptographic encryption and a distributed ledger system.
In the same vein, both on-chain and technical data point to the fact that Bitcoin is now at a fork in the road where significant choices need to be taken. Bitcoin is now trading below a long-term negative resistance level, and the level is currently being retested by market participants.

Bitcoin is currently changing hands at $22,685.79 with a 24-hour trading volume of $27,348,482,447. Bitcoin is down 1.86% in the last 24 hours with a live market cap of $437,194,375,452 according to Coinmarketcap data.
