 "Bitcoin’s volatile week rattles faith in cryptocurrency resurgence")
The sharp selloff in Bitcoin this week is stoking fresh questions about the sustainability of the cryptocurrency boom.
Prices for the digital asset have tumbled 14 per cent this week, marking the steepest decline since March. Bitcoin was steady on Friday, holding near $31,000 and commentators have cautioned that a sustained drop below $30,000 could presage further losses.
“Being Bitcoin, a 10 per cent range intraday is a mere flesh wound to the digital asset, in a world where tradable versus investible is seriously blurred,” said Jeffrey Halley, senior market analyst at Oanda Asia Pacific.
