Cryptocurrency News: Coronavirus impact on bitcoin and its Future

All latest bitcoin news you badly want to know: The king of cryptocurrency, bitcoins show increased activity yesterday, April 16, with huge volumes. But unable to break the $7,154 barrier it may go down further is the opinion of the experts. Bitcoin, which was at an all-time high of $ 20,089 on December 20, 2017, is now nearly to a one-third value of it.

Coronavirus has taken its toll on bitcoin this year to bring it down from its February price of above $10,000 to below $ 7,000 now. But will it bounce back to $10,000 with an additional proposed stimulus package of $2,000 to the Americans or bottom out at $5,000 is the million-dollar question now.

Bitcoin history

Of all the cryptocurrencies, the one that is continuously traded with the excellent volume all the 24 hours 365 days is the Bitcoin. Satoshi Nakamoto introduced this alternative currency, which later became famous as cryptocurrencies. But even though there are numerous such currencies, there is nothing like it. It is superior to others in many terms, including returns, traded volume,  price movements, among others.

Though launched in 2009 and was trading within a narrow range, it saw upward movements from the mid of the 2010s. From a low of $ 65.63 on July 6, 2013, it shot up to $20,089 on December 17, 2017. It is a whopping 30,000 % rise that none can even see it in their wildest dreams.
