Merry Christmas Mr Bitcoin
News
Bitcoin after experiencing a spectacular outbreak throughout the month of November and early December, has fallen sharply.
Bitcoin started the year 2017 at a price of $1000. In November the cryptocurrency had risen to $5000. Then it climbed steeply reaching the $20,000 on December 18th.

Of course, it's hard to buy Christmas gifts or turkey in Bitcoin (although more and more countries are recognizing Bitcoin as a legal means of payment.) As a result, Bitcoins need to be converted into currency for cash. make purchases, which is probably the fall of the course.
Alexandre Baradez, an analyst for IG France, points out that Bitcoin is a very small market and that a big investor sells for the price to fall.
Other experts, for their part, are waiting to see if the Bitcoin bounced or if it is preferred other cryptocurrencies.

It was developed by Crypto Asset Management and is called CamCrypto 30 index. It concerns the 30 most important virtual currencies.
