Earlier this week, $16 bln payments app Square officially integrated Bitcoin into its mobile platform, enabling three mln active users to buy, sell and store Bitcoin seamlessly. Jack Dorsey, the CEO at Twitter and Square, particularly expressed his enthusiasm towards the potential of Bitcoin as a robust store of value, and the Square team’s optimism surrounding the long-term growth trend of Bitcoin.

“We’re always listening to our customers and we’ve found that they are interested in using the Cash App to buy Bitcoin. We're exploring how Square can make this experience faster and easier, and have rolled out this feature to a small number of Cash App customers. We believe cryptocurrency can greatly impact the ability of individuals to participate in the global financial system and we're excited to learn more here.”

Since Friday, the share price and the market cap of Square have increased by nearly 10 percent, as the company’s market cap rose from $15 bln to $16 bln within a five day period.

I am sure this is just the tip of the iceberg. The trend is that companies that started to get involved or even planning to get connected with Bitcoin experienced some surge in interest and hence value of their business and stocks. No wonder many are now planning to jump into the Bitcoin bandwagon as they see a brighter future ahead and a bigger opportunity to make more money courtesy of Bitcoin. This is something which other coins could not really claim without being ashamed. Bitcoin is now starting into getting a critical mass of support and popularity. The time has come!
