Warning: WhatsApp worm targets Brazilian crypto wallets, bank accounts

The discourse around the next wave of Bitcoin adoption won’t be fueled by 
ideology or belief, but will be driven by pure economic advantage. As the 
global financial system moves toward higher costs, weaker currencies, and 
increasing inefficiencies, BTC is emerging as the most compelling alternative 
because it works more effectively. Economic Pressure Points That Will 
Accelerate Bitcoin Uptake In the rapidly evolving landscape of digital 
finance, the narrative surrounding Bitcoin&#8217;s future has often been intertwined 
with fervent ideological conviction. A media company, known as TFTC on X, has 
highlighted why BTC adoption won&#8217;t be driven by ideology, but rather by 
economics. Related Reading: Bitcoin Now Accepted By 4 Million Businesses, 
Thanks To Jack Dorsey Every merchant today is focused on handing over 2–3% of 
every transaction to payment processors and lives under the constant threat of 
chargebacks. Especially for small businesses, those costs and risks compound 
fast. However, BTC eliminates all of it with no processing fees, no 
chargebacks, just instant, final settlement straight into the merchant&#8217;s 
wallet. As Miles, a crypto enthusiast, consistently pointed out, the economic 
incentives are so overwhelmingly strong that adoption becomes inevitable. 
Merchants save thousands on fees, and they can pass those savings back to 
their customers through instant cashback rewards for using BTC. This dynamic 
creates a self-reinforcing flywheel effect, allowing Merchants to lower their 
operational costs and increase their profit margins. At the same time, 
consumers would get tangible rewards and better value for their money by 
simply using BTC. Both sides will benefit immensely, while the BTC network 
will grow stronger. When the underlying math is this incredibly favorable, 
adoption is no longer a philosophical stance, but it&#8217;s an economic certainty. 
The Path To Reclaiming Bullish Momentum While the economic incentives will be 
responsible for Bitcoin&#8217;s next rally, analyst Rekt Capital has revealed a 
historical demand area, marked in orange, which has played a pivotal role in 
dictating BTC&#8217;s next major trend. The first time price tapped this zone, it 
produced a sharp +20% rebound before breaking down. After this breakdown, the 
BTC price moved to lower levels to absorb the remaining buy-side liquidity.

Signal Upside Once BTC reclaimed the orange region as support, it triggered a 
+37% rally to new all-time highs. On the second retest, this same support zone 
showed signs of strength. Currently, BTC is finding support at this same 
historical demand area. What would happen next will be critical in determining 
whether this demand area will continue to strengthen or if signs of weakening 
will finally emerge. Furthermore, BTC will need to break the multi-week 
downtrend, marked in black on the chart, to relieve fear of fading support. A 
rebound from this demand area that fails to break the multi-week downtrend 
would only result in a yield of +10% move, which suggests that the support 
zone may be weakening. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from
