The result of nearly 20 years of research, this innovation could revolutionize not only computing technology but also the crypto world.

Access to cryptocurrencies remains a barrier for the general public, often deterred by the complexity of wallets and private keys. However, the mass adoption of Bitcoin depends on the ability of companies to make its use as seamless as a traditional Web2 service. In this dynamic, Google seems to want to play a key role by facilitating the integration of Bitcoin wallets through its own ecosystem. An initiative unveiled by Kyle Song, a Web3 specialist at the tech giant, which paves the way for broader BTC adoption. This announcement raises as many hopes as questions about the future of decentralization.

"We, central bankers, should study it and explore the technology on which it is built.

Periods of calm in the Bitcoin market are often misleading. Indeed, when volatility collapses, it gives way to brutal amplitude movements, capable of surprising both seasoned investors and short-term speculators. Today, several technical indicators suggest a scenario similar to that of August 2023: a temporary drop in BTC before a major rebound that could take it up to $85,000. An analysis conducted by CryptoQuant reveals that the current market conditions resemble a past configuration where prolonged stagnation led to massive position liquidations before giving way to a strong bullish trend.

The global economy wavers between uncertainties and successive crises, and some analysts predict an even darker future. Among them is Robert Kiyosaki, entrepreneur and author of the bestseller "Rich Dad Poor Dad," who issues multiple warnings.
