(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.

According to the BLS, rising energy costs fueled a rise in CPI, but for at least six months, analysts have tracked the rising costs of food and other goods. The current CPI is the highest it has been since October 1990. Core inflation, a figure that ignores the impact of the rising cost of goods, showed a 4.6% increase, a level not seen since 1991.
Notes: This figure plots weekly averages of log price and log network size (log of unique active addresses) of Bitcoin and Ethereum over the period from August 2015 to January 2019. We normalise both the time series by subtracting their mean and dividing by their standard deviation.
