Bitcoin which plunged for a while due to negative reviews by U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, rebounds to the $50,000 per-unit level on this morning (3/2).
According to CoinDesk Bitcoin was around $49,500 per unit earlier in the day (GMT+8). It is up more than 6% from a day earlier.
In particular, the price temporarily exceeded the 50,000-dollar mark, reaching 51,77 dollars.
Bitcoin’s price at more than $58,000 on the 22nd of last month, but fell due to the influence of U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen calling it an “extremely inefficient means to carry out transactions” and even Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who invested in Bitcoin, saying “The price seems high.”
As a result, the price was around $43,500 on the 1st of this month. But it rebounded as some positive news spread.
