There are thousands of digital coins or tokens that we can purchase via cryptocurrency exchanges. It’s easy to forget their names, due to the sheer number of these tokens, but it’s impossible to forget the name of Dogecoin.

According to a World Bank study, there are 1.7 billion unbanked/underbanked adults globally, yet two-thirds of them own a mobile phone that could help them access financial services. Digital technology could take advantage of existing cash transactions to bring people into the financial system. More than 200 million unbanked/underbanked adults who work in the private sector are paid in cash only. More than 50% of those reside in Asia.

The World Bank also highlights several reasons why many people prefer to remain unbanked/underbanked, such as their lack of sufficient money to open…

Those who checked Bitcoin’s (BTC) price over 8th-9th February (~+20%) might have experienced a confluent state of excitement and confusion. The collective intensity of the sound waves emanating from the shouts of joy of Bitcoin ‘HODLers’ all over the world may well have triggered seismic movements.

The BTC market was relatively stagnant over the preceding week, while the meme-coin DOGE took the spotlight headlines. Then, suddenly, as soon as technology leader Elon Musk’s impulsive finger tapped ‘post’ on Twitter, the price of BTC exploded and reached All Time High (ATH) at over $48,000.
