It should be clear by now that companies are beginning to recognize the potential of bitcoin as a digital currency and store of value. One of the reasons for bitcoin's recent rise in value is the concept of scarcity. With the actual supply of 21 million bitcoins in circulation, the largest possible loss is the actual supply of 21 million bitcoins.

At the end of 2020, analysts at glassnode said bitcoin was becoming more and more difficult to buy because liquidity was declining on several exchanges. As more and more institutions accumulate bitcoin as a store of value to hedge against devalued legal currency, liquidity is likely to continue to dry up. The lack of liquidity also leads to market fragmentation, which means that encrypted traders may not be able to execute at the best available price if they only maintain one exchange account. Therefore, in general, it is better for traders to consider having accounts in all major exchanges, such as Coinbase, Kraken, Binance, Bitstamp and Bitfinex, and then use platforms such as Cove markets or Voyager to manage them on an easy-to-use interface.
