- A 23 percent drop in Bitcoin’s price has occurred over the last month.
- 1 BTC surpasses 800K Turkish lira for the first time.
Bitcoin’s plight worsened as the cryptocurrency fell below $46,000 after failing to break through the $47,000 resistance. A 23 percent drop in Bitcoin’s price has occurred over the last month as investors worry about the economic effect of Covid’s new variant and the US Fed’s tapering of its bond purchases.
Only a few days ago, the principal cryptocurrency seemed substantially more favorable as it approached $50,000 after a US Federal Reserve announcement about inflation rates. Nonetheless, it was unable to achieve that level and gradually began to lose value; however, part of BTC’s appeal is that it has always rebounded back, while many fiat currencies, such as the Lira, have not.
1 BTC Surpasses 800K Turkish Lira
As Turkey’s economy continues to decline, Bitcoin seems to be a promising store of value. The Turkish Lira fell 8% on Friday, reaching a record low of 17.0705 per dollar. 1 BTC surpasses 800K Turkish lira for the first time.
As the “unhealthy” prices continue to rise, the central bank has embraced a suffocating easing policy stance. When they slashed interest rates, they sparked a new low in the currency. Consumers are seeking Bitcoin and decentralization as a way out of a government-imposed chokehold and mismanagement of the economy.
According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin price today is $45,898.90 USD with a 24-hour trading volume of $31,098,478,239 USD. Bitcoin is down 2.97% in the last 24 hours.
