NEW YORK, Aug. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- While the cryptocurrency market is navigating through several obstacles, from the crackdown in China to worries about its impact on the climate, there is a clear growth in support. Just in the last several months, El Salvador become the first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, a move that could potentially start a trend across Latin American countries. Shortly thereafter, leaders in Argentina, Brazil, Panama, and Paraguay also endorsed the move on social media. Earlier in the year, several major companies announced a more open-minded approach to Bitcoin, now accepting payment for product and services. Overall, the approach of financial institutions, businesses and even governments has significantly changed in recent years, as commercial payments are slowly warming up to the prospects of Bitcoin. One of the major reasons for this is that a Bitcoin payment is faster, cheaper, safer and less volatile than the local currencies in many countries.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The cryptocurrency market is complex, and at this point relies on the progression of technology and software, but political decisions will also play an important role in its future. For example, China's crackdown on crypto mining had sent prices tumbling initially, but recovery has since started, and miners have begun to look for viable alternatives. Many have already, or are in the process, of relocating to Texas. The state also seems to provide a possible solution to the environmental concerns associated with crypto mining. "It really depends on the company itself. If a company comes into Texas and they start mining bitcoin, they can choose to buy all of their power from renewables if they want to," explained Josh Rhodes, a research associate at the University of Texas at Austin Energy Institute, according to Yahoo Finance. "If they just go by what is on the market... about half of their power on the system just writ large is going to come from fossil fuels." ISW Holdings Inc. (OTC: ISWH), Hut 8 Mining Corp.
