Good night steemit friends .. I just petrified to share information about bitcoin news
After reaching the range of 20,000 US dollars per chip in December, this week the value of virtual currency Bitcoin recorded had decreased to below 10,000 US dollars.
On Tuesday afternoon (16/1/2018), at about 17:30 east of the United States, the Coinbase exchange traded Bitcoin with a value of 9.969 US dollars, while Bittrex at 9,450 US dollars.
Bitcoin is not the only virtual currency whose value is trimmed. The CoinMarketCap site noted the top 20 cyrptocurrencies all decreased by double digits in the last 24 hours.
During that period, the value of Bitcoin fell 17 percent
and Ethereum had fallen 19 percent so it had touched the value of 854 US dollars before rising back to the range of 1,000 US dollars
Meanwhile, Ripple, the third-largest virtual currency of the market capitalization aspect, experienced a sharp decline of 46 percent to nearly 90 cents, before returning to 1.18 dollars.
The decline in the value of these virtual currencies is allegedly related to the plan to tighten the rules about cryptocurrency in several countries in Asia.
As summarized KompasTekno from CNBC, Wednesday (17/1/2018), South Korea plans to create a law that prohibits the trading of cryptocurrency. Meanwhile, China is alleged to be blocking access to the platform cryptocurrency at home and abroad.
Bitcoin's value has now returned to the range of 11,000 US dollars per chip in the Coinbase and Bittrex exchanges. The figure is far from the peak value of 19,800 dollars per chip recorded in mid-December.
