Deep dives
The Volatility of Bitcoin
Bitcoin recently reached a record high of approximately $94,000 before retracting closer to $92,000. This volatility is tied to Donald Trump's election, which some believe has instigated a bullish sentiment in the cryptocurrency market. There is speculation that if Trump had lost, Bitcoin could have dropped significantly, potentially below the $50,000 mark. The current enthusiasm around Bitcoin appears driven by promises from political figures, adding to the complexity of its market performance.
