Bitcoin – The surge goes on

Crypto rally continues to amaze

It seems like only cryptocurrencies can experience the kind of rally that we’re currently seeing with bitcoin up almost 40% in just under a week and more than 200% since early April.

Any suggestion that the space has matured over the last 18 months and that this rally would be different has clearly been cast aside, with this showing no signs of easing up.

While I understand the excitement for the community that a company like Facebook, backed by other big names, has launched its own coin, this just feels a lot like last time and we all know what happened then.

Perhaps this time the drop off won’t be so bad as we are seeing more mainstream adoption but it may be naive to think that it can’t come crashing down again.
