 The incident of disruption of social media platforms: Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp last night invited a spike in the price of Bitcoin (BTC) and other crypto assets.


Based on observations, the BTC price recorded a 4.5% increase to over $ 49,000 after declining to a daily low, $ 47,166.


Similarly the price of Ethereum (ETH) jumped 3.5% over the same period, hitting $ 3,411.


The disruption of these three social media platforms was the worst incident since 2008. At that time, it was reported that Facebook was in 'offline' status due to the presence of a bug.


Proponents of crypto using this opportunity stressed the importance of a decentralized social media presence developed on the blockchain, claiming: "If they develop Facebook on the blockchain, it will not be disrupted." -Allen Farrington, author of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
