As per Express.co.uk, Bitcoin took a massive step towards mainstream adoption thanks to the emergence of Wuabit. Wuabit is a cryptocurrency wallet accessible via a chat interface in WhatsApp, SMS, and Telegram. Users can send Bitcoins to their connections by merely typing “send 0.01 BTC to X.”

A spokesman told Express.co.uk:

“We are near completing the wallet core service starting with BTC. By using WhatsApp/SMS/Telegram, you can access that wallet easily. Crypto payments via WhatsApp can introduce greater numbers of new users who only know how to chat to this complicated space. Usability is key in user adoption and a great enabler.”

The public beta is due to start next month.

It looks like the overall sentiment remains bearish as the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) indicator shows that the signal line is diverging away from the MACD line. The relative strength index (RSI) curve is currently trending in the neutral zone.
