Known for embracing all things edgy,\u00a0musician<\/a>\u00a0Bjork has announced that her latest album, Utopia, will be available for purchase\u00a0through cryptocurrencies. The artist will accept Bitcoin, Litecoin, DASH, and AudioCoin.<\/p>\n The move by the musician may seem like a marketing strategy of sorts to appear unique and to draw attention during a time when Bitcoin\u2019s rise has brought cryptocurrencies into the mainstream. However, according to Kevin Bacon of Blockpool:<\/p>\n \u201cThis really isn\u2019t a marketing strategy with Bj\u00f6rk. This is a decision to be a leader. In fact, it\u2019s just the obvious thing to do for her. If I wasn\u2019t involved in this project, I\u2019d expect Bj\u00f6rk to be a leader in this area, and for her team to be doing creative things with crypto.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n As\u00a0adoption<\/a>\u00a0of cryptocurrencies increases, the price and number of transactions increase, causing greater price\u00a0stability<\/a>, and stability increases mainstream adoption. This process of adoption and stability has been\u00a0referred to as a Satoshi cycle<\/a>, and is the underlying driver for the increase in Bitcoin price.<\/p>\n Bjork\u2019s album offering is simply another step in the ladder of adoption and stability. As the cryptocurrency market continues to gain traction, prices follow the adoption curve and drive the adoption curve concurrently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Virtuous Satoshi cycles<\/h2>\n
