Bitcoin loses market interest but wins that of regulators
The highs and lows of bitcoin faithfully reproduce the cycle of the financial bubble of technological values of the year 2000, "except that it occurs 15 times faster"
Between the dwindling interest of individuals and increasingly stringent regulators, the bitcoin market is going through a turbulent period, even if some players in the sector continue to believe in the future of the first cryptocurrency.
After a buying fever at the end of 2017 and a spectacular fall at the beginning of the year, the price of bitcoin, which continues in low hours, fell back in recent weeks.
"The fall in prices is a healthy correction, after the madness at the end of 2017," Kyle Samani, creator of a fund dedicated to cryptocurrencies, Multicoin Capital, which manages $ 50 million for private investors, told AFP last October.
