Kiev. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – February 13, 2021 – Technology
The world’s most famous cryptocurrency is breaking new price records. Bitcoin is a popular example of how the global financial system could change if the economy began to use the blockchain. While the popularity and relevance of cryptocurrency are at the peak of price charts, developers are trying to do everything possible to get as many people as possible to join the digital “gold“.
At the time of closing trading on Friday, bitcoin was worth almost $ 48,000, which is twice as high as last year’s highs. Along with the price, the popularity is growing – now you can easily pay for bitcoins in the nearest store.
The developers of the cryptocurrency wallet BitPay have added support for the Mastercard prepaid card, which can be used to convert bitcoins into fiat currency. So now, to pay with bitcoins, just add it to your ApplePay wallet and use it as a regular bank.
BitPay works not only with bitcoins but also with other popular coins, as well as with stable cryptocurrencies pegged to the dollar – USD Coin, Gemini Dollar, Paxos Standard, and Binance USD. This means that each “crypto-dollar” corresponds to a real US dollar owned by the State Street Bank and Trust Company.
By the end of next month, the developers plan to add payment support to Google Pay and Samsung Pay.
