Sunday Digest: Bitcoin Price And Other Crypto News

China announced that it was introducing facial scans for mobile phone users in an attempt to further monitor its citizens to ensure real identities are used online. We asked if the proposed Crypto Yuan will also be a tool for mass surveillance.


Bitcoin Price

Well in terms of bitcoin price that week could have gone a lot worse. Although of course, it could also have gone a lot better.

The week opened at around $7200 and continued its downward trend from the end of the week before. Prices dipped to as low as $6600, prompting some to forecast further losses. Bitcoin had other ideas though and bounced straight back up to the $7.2k level.

Meanwhile, the Bitcoin protocol received an upgrade, which was proclaimed ‘nuclear war proof‘.

Prices then started to pump midweek, heading up to $7.5k before eventually topping out at around $7800.

As the weekend came through, gains started to trickle away, down to around $7.3k. However, one analyst thinks that we will soon be trading back at the $8k level.

Dovey Wan suggested that perhaps the overarching price movements of the whole year were closely entwined with the Chinese PlusToken scam.

Week’s Crypto News In Brief

China-based IDAX exchange sought to allay concerns about withdrawal issues earlier in the week, claiming it was down to the firm leaving the mainland Chinese market. However, it later transpired that the CEO had gone missing with the keys to the cold-wallets.

South Korean exchange, Upbit, reported an irregular withdrawal of $51 million in ETH. Investigations are ongoing, but the company vowed to cover the loss.

Bakkt continued to post record volumes, with 3151 BTC, worth $23 million traded on Wednesday alone.

Mining manufacturer, Bitmain’s Jihan Wu continued to assert himself following his recent return. This week he announced two new Antminer 17 models, with improved hash rate and efficiency.

Bitmain was also involved in some court action this week, as they tried to get a case against them by United Corp dismissed.

Rumors emerged that Russia was finally to clarify its stance on cryptocurrency, with expectations that it would follow China’s anti-crypto route. However, a top official conceded that it would be hard to enforce a de-facto ban on cryptocurrency in the country.
