The Financial Times (FT) reported that while trading in major financial markets has not yet opened this year, bitcoin has resumed a dizzying rise in the first few days of January, rising more than 10%.
Marcus Swanepoel, CEO of cryptocurrency trading platform Luno, said, “Even the most bullish of Bitcoin supporters, you couldn’t have expected that most would skyrocket in such a short time.”
He added, “In light of the pattern that has achieved such a milestone, that is, the point that it has steadily risen rather than a single-shot spike, I think it has laid the foundation for very good performance this year.”
Some warns that the situation of 3 years ago, when it soared and then suddenly collapsed, will be reenacted over the strong rise of Bitcoin.
Economist Nouriel Rubini once said of Bitcoin as “a pure speculative asset and bubble with no fundamental value,” FT said.
