Bitcoin +40%, why?
This week, we saw Bitcoin explode almost 40% in value in just one day. Itâs the third time ever when the price of BTC increased so much in 24 hours.
What happened? Hereâs a compelling narrative:


Thatâs 1.4 billion people hearing about blockchain.
Although President Xi didnât mention Bitcoin specifically, itâs still the first thing most people will think of when you say âblockchain.â
China embracing blockchain or Bitcoin wonât change anything in its fundamentals, so why did the price explode?
I guess itâs because the markets donât care if an announcement has an actual effect in the real world. It cares about the possibility that everyone else will think this might be enough for others to buy the price up.
Alex KrĂźger explained it well:


I have to agree with him - this is precisely how you exploit an immature market.
Although the reasons behind the explosion are questionable, I think itâs a good sign that the price of BTC has stayed over $9K.
