And, while it has big ambitions, its current market value is someway below the $1 dollar threshold - but has experienced a steady increase in price since its launch.
New short-term investors who are selling their holdings in reaction to the drop may be influencing the continued dip in Bitcoin’s value, according to a recent report from Glassnode Insights, a blockchain analysis firm.

Chiefly, Binance will no longer permit U.S. passport holders to sign up for its global Binance.com service. That’s according to the company’s updated terms and conditions — “Binance is unable to provide services to any U.S. person” — which were confirmed to TechCrunch by a spokesperson.
4JNET will thus pay a higher service charge than late investors, but all transactions will see a percentage being distributed and another part being sent into liquidity pools. This will stabilize the price of the asset, notwithstanding if selling pressure is high.
“I believe everyone should have a diversified portfolio,” says Daniel Johnson, a financial advisor and founder of RE|Focus Financial Planning in Asheville, North Carolina. Any investment you make should be appropriately weighted against the rest of your portfolio as well as the overall market. Just as you wouldn’t invest all your money in one company, it’s unwise to put every dollar you have into crypto.
We also consider two additional factors that account for the finding that in some periods prices drift away from fundamentals. The first factor is the return of Bitcoin. We argue that Bitcoin, being the largest and most traded cryptocurrency, is the most perceptible to sentiment and speculative trading by investors. Thus, as a factor, it can capture periods when trading forces unrelated to fundamentals are the strongest. The second factor is a cryptocurrency price momentum factor that we construct following the seminal work of Jegadeesh and Titman (1993). Momentum effects have been linked to investor psychology (e.g. Barberis et al. 1998).

Former Reserve Bank of India (RBI) deputy governor R Gandhi on Tuesday made a case for treating and regulating crypto as a separate asset class with a view to enabling governments around the world to effectively deal with illegal activities associated with virtual currencies.
Despite its size and name recognition, Binance has had issues with regulators. In 2017, Binance left China and re-located to Japan and Taiwan before eventually moving to Malta. However, in February 2020, after Malta announced that Binance was not actually within its jurisdiction, the exchange quickly changed positions and declared that it doesn’t have a headquarters because Bitcoin doesn’t have a central headquarters.
And while the cryptocurrency has since dipped slightly on Tuesday afternoon, it is still up by a whopping 350% on Bitcoin’s price at 7 November 2020 after nearing the new $70,000 threshold.
In the case of cryptocurrencies, academia has barely scratched the surface with respect to identifying the determinants of their prices. For example, studies by Cheah and Fry (2015) and Corbet et al. (2018) claim that Bitcoin has no intrinsic value and that its price has persistently exhibited ‘bubble-like’ behaviour. Makarov and Schoar (2018) find that the prices of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple differ across exchanges for weeks. Outside of academia, the President of the United States recently tweeted that cryptocurrencies are based on “thin air”.1
