Bitcoin overcame the bar in 4000 dollars and can go even higher

Bitcoin overcame the bar in 4000 dollars and can go even higher. What do analysts think about the phenomenal rise of the crypto currency.

On Sunday, August 13, the world's most popular crypto currency bitcoin (Bitcoin Classic) set another price record, taking off at the auction on the site of Coinmarketcap.com. up to 4020.22 dollars. The capitalization of the crypto currency amounted to almost $ 66.4 billion.

Records, which sets bitcoin, have become familiar. At the same time, attention is drawn to the fact that price surges are getting higher. A week ago, bitcoin climbed above $ 3000, and it was perceived by the market as a fantastic achievement. But already on the last Friday followed a new take-off - 3500 dollars. And here after two days the bar in 4000 dollars is overcome. By the way, investment bank Goldman Sachs a week ago predicted bitcoin exactly such a benchmark, but it does not seem to expect that this will happen so quickly.

Such a rapid rise in price of bitcoin market analysts explain from diametrically opposite positions.

In the opinion of the head of the laboratory of the Institute of Applied Economic Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the professor of the Department of Finance of the Higher School of Economics Alexander Abramov, the reason for the growth of the bitcoin rate does not lend itself to fundamental analysis, so the crypto currency is a toy for speculators. "It seems to me that this is a sign of serious manipulation. I think this is probably 80% - a soap bubble blown up by the mining centers, and by 20% - a natural economic process, "the expert said in an interview with RT.


A fundamentally different point of view is held by Internet ombudsman Dmitry Marinichev, who believes that the growth rate of bitcoin is based on an objective basis and will only grow in the future.


"Do not forget that on a coin, bitcoin, unlike any other that is emitted by states, no one can influence or denominate it, it is not subject to inflation. In addition, you can not issue more or less coins, you can not take them. The more people in the world work with bitcoin, the more reliable and stable it is, "he told a news conference at the National News Service. According to him, in some Western countries, the population is already offered to keep a part of their savings in bitcoins.


But with all the divergent views on the nature of the uncontrollable rise in the cost of bitcoin, analysts of one and the other camps seem to be united in one thing: the crypto currency will go up further.
