    The results of the Chainalysis study showed that during the first four months of 2019, only 1.3% of all Bitcoin transactions were made to pay for certain goods or services. Despite the fact that more and more companies offer their customers to use Bitcoin as a new means of payment, most of the transactions with the flagship cryptocurrency fall on exchange trades, whose members want to make a profit in the shortest possible time.

    During the first four months of this year, approximately 88% of all Bitcoin transactions were associated with trading platforms. The indicator is still lower than during the last year, then the share of the use of BTC was 92%.
