Exceeded $ 20,000 For the first time in just 11 days. Now the door is knocking at $ 30,000.
Its rapid rise was noticeable – or insane, depending on your risk appetite. But there is some logic in the previous period: Investors are pouring money into Bitcoin and elsewhere
Digital currencies During the Covid-19 pandemic as the Fed sent interest rates near zero (and expects to keep them there for several more years), the US dollar has weakened severely.
This makes Bitcoin a relatively attractive currency. There is a certain limit to the number of bitcoins on the planet, and investors believe that once the supply runs out, the value of the digital currency can only increase.
It also helps with the bitcoin’s high valuation: Big branded investors are hoarding it, and huge consumer companies are embracing it. This adds a dose of viability and appeal to cryptocurrencies for ordinary investors. For example, a senior executive at

“This thing tends to collapse,” he said. “This is because of the correction, and these corrections can be violent.”
Scaramucci said bitcoin could suddenly drop 20% to 50%.
“You have to be very careful,” he added.
But it also highlights Bitcoin’s survival strength over the past decade: If you take one dollar and put 99 cents of it in cash and a penny into bitcoin, this investment strategy would outweigh the one dollar invested in
Standard & Poor’s 500 (SPX) He pointed out that during the past ten years.
“Bitcoin’s best days are ahead of it, but it’s going to be fickle and I think people need to prepare for it,” Scaramucci told CNN Business.
