What is Bitcoin and how can you buy the cryptocurrency? Well, this is a million-dollar question to answer right now. In the recent times we have seen Bitcoin value jump on some days and dip on others. For the dipping Bitcoin value, somewhere (one of the reasons) Tesla CEO Elon Musk is to be blamed. It is due to his regular tweets and especially the recent one where Musk announced breakup with the cryptocurrency. Some of the other reasons for the sudden fall of Bitcoin value are Tesla backing off from accepting Bitcoin as official payment for its cars, China's recent ban on cryptocurrency exchanges and some others.
Of late, Bitcoin has become the talk of the town, and everyone wants to buy the cryptocurrency. On that note, let's take a look at top 5 apps to buy Bitcoin in India. Note: These apps are available on Google Play store and Apple App store. -
