The cryptocurrency market has been down for almost all of 2018, and the trend has been carried over this year too. Bitcoin alone kept falling for six straight months, ending its falling streak in February 2019. Nonetheless, experts and established traders have predicted that the bulls will take over the bears by the end of this year. If that happens, e-wallets like Payglobal will benefit tremendously.
