Throughout these last months, the cryptocurrency Bitcoin has been on everyone's lips, to whom no thanks have ever been given, especially to Wall Street, which despite the rejection of it has not managed to make it a minority currency, since every time the number of companies that are betting on it are more.
In its origins, this currency was associated with operations of dubious reputation but after the closure of the main dark web markets to which it was associated, its use has expanded to other sectors. As a result of this success, the most successful cryptocurrency in the world, Bitcoin, has just exceed $ 5.000.
In recent months we have seen how some countries have begun to ban ICOs, a movement that was aimed at deteriorating the use of this currency, something that has not happened although it did affect it a little over a month ago, in which the Currency began to decline in value which had reached $ 3.000. But in recent days, Bitcoin has gotten back on track and has exceeded 5.000, reaching a maximum value of $ 5.652, at the time of writing this article
As is usual, we do not know what could have been the main reason that has triggered the price of this cryptocurrency, but it may be related to the new fork called SegWit2X. The appearance of Bitcoin Cash and of another new currency called Bitcoin Gold, a new cryptocurrency but that unlike bitcoins can also be mined with GPUs, just as we can with Ethereum, will also have been partly to blame.
Taking into account that this currency is not regulated by any body but by the operations that are carried out daily and the related news, there is no way to know if the value will continue to rise this way and if perhaps it has reached its maximum value.
