About Bitcoin

According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin is a type of digital asset that uses public-key cryptography to record, sign and send transactions over the Bitcoin blockchain. Bitcoin is the first decentralized cryptocurrency in the world. Bitcoin was launched in January 2009 by “Satoshi Nakamoto”.

The Reason That Causing The Bitcoin Price Pump

Inflation and The Rising Cost of Production

Due to a series of events we have experienced last year, the West is facing serious inflation these days, which pushes people to look for safe-haven assets. To deal with the inflation and rising cost of production, a lot of people intend to move out of the dollar and into assets, (such as Bitcoin) that have historically held their value or even appreciated. The assets people exchange dollars for to protect against inflation or market volatility are usually scarce or less volatile.

Political Effect

According to CoinDesk, the White House published a statement on last Friday, calling on Congress to “step up” crypto regulation efforts and “expand regulators” powers to prevent misuses of customers assets. Analysts think that Bitcoin (BTC) is having its best start to the year in a decade and the price by market capitalization has jumped 40% this month amid weakness in the U.S. dollar.
