Bitcoin hit another new all-time high above $68,000 Wednesday, two days after its previous all-time high when it went over $68,000 for the first time on Monday.
Without a clear track record to assess long-term value, cryptocurrency rises and falls on an unpredictable demand cycle. And for individual investors, the challenge is “you really don’t know where supply and demand can end up,” Aliaga-Díaz says.

The supply of a cryptocurrency depends on how many new coins are being mined and how many current owners want to sell their coins.
When that’s the case and demand increases, the price of that underlying asset goes up. Roughly speaking, this is the simplest way to address how the prices of cryptos fluctuate.
Brian Brooks, former Binance.US CEO and Comptroller of the Currency, has been appointed CEO of BitFury, a Bitcoin mining and crypto company.
Binance owns Binance.US’s name and intellectual property. However, Binance.US is managed independently. The main differences between the two relate to financial regulations in the United States. Binance.US cannot legally offer all the same crypto assets that the main Binance exchange can.
Additionally, EverGrow's creators have cleverly split its TokenEconomics to make it more resilient to market fluctuations. EverGrow burnt almost 50% of its supply at launch, and burned tokens were obliterated from circulation before launch. The remaining 45 percent is reserved for PancakeSawp's pre-sale and Initial Liquidity Lock, with the remaining 5% reserved for its team members and airdrop. The Innovative TokenEconomics will ensure that EvegGrow has all the features to become the Next Big Cryptocurrency.
It’s always hard to know exactly what is driving crypto prices given the opacity of the market and a certain rather large player whose name rhymes with weather, but we think it’s probably partly related to the same market madness that drove GameStop to da moon, as well as to a desire for an alternative to central bank-issued money due to worries about the government overreach (by means of Covid restrictions), and also endorsements from chief executives at the likes of PayPal, Tesla and Twitter/Square.
Ultimately, many experts believe regulation is a good thing for the industry. “Sensible regulation is a win for everyone,” says Ben Weiss, CEO and cofounder of CoinFlip, a cryptocurrency buying platform and crypto ATM network. “It gives people more confidence in crypto, but I think it’s something we have to take our time on and we have to get it right.”

Bitcoin hit a high of more than $60,000 in April, and the ups and downs since then highlight the cryptocurrency’s volatility in a time when more and more people are interested in getting in on the action. In the weeks between the most recent July low point and its high points in recent weeks, Bitcoin has risen steadily. Again, Bitcoin is very volatile, so these ups and downs are par for the course.

Reviews of Binance.US are, on average, worse than those of Binance, a small consolation for those who live outside the U.S. Despite this, many of the issues pointed to regarding support for American customers relate to issues that stemmed from the company’s rushed set up of the newer website.
