20 More Crypto Adoption Cases Throughout the World
Although we’re all looking forward to the day when mass adoption finally takes place, that is not likely to happen too quickly. Meanwhile, there are small instances of the cryptocurrency industry spreading past its tightly-woven community and into the world. At least, it might inspire outsiders to google the terms and find out more about it.
From a market in Kiev, Ukraine to the world-renowned Burning Man Festival in Nevada, Bitcoin and altcoins have come a long way from their inception less than a decade ago. Although the current lack of regulation might scare most people away from using crypto, there are those whose business is booming because they do.
