During 2017, Bitcoin made incredible profits, starting at approximately 1,000 dollars at the beginning of the year, at a record of nearly 20,000 dollars in December, with a double of its value between November and December.
Last week, however, he saw a series of losses, reaching a peak Friday weekend, December 22nd with Bitcoin dropping under $11,000, writes “BBC”, citing figures from the crisis exchange website at Condesk. The British broadcaster adds that Bitcoin returned to over $13,000, but the price remains unstable.
The biggest losses in value Bitcoin suffered during the week have led, according to “BBC”, in an increase in trades in Coinbase on Friday, one of Bitcoin's main exchanges. However, as a result of technical slowdowns, the exchange was prompted to stop exchanges twice during the day.
“Switch CBOE” and CME” also saw the trade in some future Bitcoin contracts suspended due to rapid price change. These contracts mainly work in a way that allows investors to place bets, reflecting where they predict the Bitcoin price will be at different times in the future, reports “BBC” Transmission Periscope.

Another issue is trust in the market, with some people critical of the suspensions they have experienced in Friday's trade.
“It is not good to just swap off the trade line by chance throughout the day,” said Bitcoin businessman Nick Colas, adding that the “the stability of this system is equally important for their faith... as the price of the crypto-moned “.
Other explanations predict that there is a seasonal explanation for the decline in cryptocunity prices. The reason for this, according to “magazine Forbes” is that there are a number of major holidays, including Christmas and New Year's at the end of December, which makes this a very bad time for savings and investments. “Forbes”s continues to say that internal trading and market manipulation can be possible explanations.
Amid turmoil and fears that the cryptova peace market may be a giant bubble, some authorities have begun to issue warnings to people seeking to invest in the market. /Periscopi/
