Greater accessibility and privacy
Not all people in the world have access to banks. The banks also are not available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This makes BTC an increasingly popular payment method. In addition, by investing in crypto, every user can stay anonymous. Compared to a bank account, where a person setting up an account has to share all his or her data with the bank and each of his or her transactions is booked, transactions concerning cryptovalots cannot be linked to a specific person.
This makes banks feel somewhat threatened by the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies.

Each country has its own regulations or completely banned digging and investing in cryptocurrencies. This lack of law regulations makes it very difficult to enter the crypto market or create a company with global reach. Nowadays, in times of pandemic, more and more countries are beginning to introduce law regulations about cryptocurrencies, seeing in it an opportunity for additional earnings.
Will more and more people turn to cryptocurrencies?
Unstable financial markets, printing additional money, and uncertain value can significantly encourage more people to invest in crypto. Although their value varies depending on many factors, it will never happen that someone decides to produce more Bitcoin that will affect their value.
