Our take
21bitcoin is an app that enables users to buy, sell and hold Bitcoin directly from their phones. With Bitcoin being the original cryptocurrency, and continued market leader, its offering of a simple-to-use and accessible app has led to a huge amount of the growth in the company since founding in 2021.
Interestingly, the company holds no bias to users needing to hold or own a certain amount, meaning the app can act as a space to foster enjoyment in the cryptocurrency revolution. 21bitcoin has recently raised funding which will allow it to establish itself in the competitive market landscape, and aid in the growing of the company team and further development of the product.
