BITCOIN NEWS TODAY
The price of Bitcoin hits $10,800 this afternoon, which is up from only $8,400 a week ago. The volatility of the cryptocurrency market can demonstrate just how quickly the situation can change for investors and JP Morgan, the huge multinational American bank may have highlighted a potential flaw with Bitcoin that may just be its downfall.
JP MORGAN, PREDICTS BITCOINS DOWNFALL
In September, 2017 J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon became notorious after he called Bitcoin a fraud, while he later made a statement saying he regretted those comments, the American bank has now stated that bitcoin WILL not be able to properly deal with a liquidity crisis in the event of an economic shock.

When a liquidity crisis occurs, central banks can pump additional monies into their economy to balance declines in lending and spending in the private sector. These measures would be impossible with bitcoin because there is no central institution that can control this and yearly coin release is fixed.
JP Morgan made a statement and said: “The ability to provide adequate liquidity is a hallmark of a well-functioning market, but more so during times of crisis.
Bitcoin supporters then hit back saying their case is founded on the assumption that printing money to balance an economy is a good thing. The chief marketing officer Aaron Lasher from tech company Breadwallet said: "This is a classic case of creating the problem you offer to solve, and exactly why bitcoin exists."
