After exceeding $ 7,000, bitcoin maintains its meteoric rise. Even the most bullish stock analysts can not predict when this cryptocurrency will reach its ceiling.
While some voices on Wall Street say that the next milestone of the virtual currency will be $ 10,000, others do not stop shouting from the rooftops that it's all about a big bubble.
Among the latter is the CEO of Credit Suisse Tidjane Thiam who when asked at a press conference in Zurich was adamant: "From what we can identify, the only reason today to buy or sell Bitcoin is to earn money, which is the definition itself of speculation and the very definition of a bubble ".
In this same line is the CEO of JP Morgan, Jamie Dimon, who has become one of the most fervent opponents of bitcoin to say that people who buy this crypto "are stupid" and what governments will eventually make it disappear.
The detractors of this digital currency had already attacked it saying that it is a currency that does not have the backing of a central bank, but that did not stop the purchases.
Last week, after the news that the world's largest derivatives operator, CME Group, is about to launch bitcoin futures, bitcoin reached new records day by day.
