The post Bitcoin: Price Down, Adoption Up appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

What has been happening to Bitcoin lately is quite paradoxical.  In fact, while on one hand the price is falling, indicating a lack of interest from the markets, on the other hand, its adoption is increasing.  Obviously, this is not about adoption as a medium of exchange, since Bitcoin is not, and perhaps never will be, a good transactional currency. Instead, it is about adoption as an investment form.  The Price of Bitcoin Between Monday and yesterday, there was a significant sharp drop in the price of Bitcoin.  On Sunday it hovered around $67,000, but on Monday it fell below $65,000, and yesterday even below $63,000. However, after the reopening of the American markets, the trend slightly reversed.  In fact, first it climbed back above $64,000, and then last night, thanks to the Asian markets, it also rose above $65,000 with a brief visit to the $66,000 mark. These figures are still below Sunday’s levels, although at this moment even a stable return above $66,000 could already be considered a good signal.  The main issue once again appears to be fear.  For some time now, the price trend of Bitcoin has been inversely correlated, for example, with the VIX, also known as the fear index, which measures the volatility of the S&P500 index. On Friday, the VIX closed at around 19 points, while on Monday, at the reopening of the markets after the weekend, it was already above 20 points.  The peak of recent days was recorded just yesterday, above the 21 mark, shortly before the reopening of the American markets, only to then fall back first to 20 and today even below this threshold again.  It doesn’t seem that BTCUSD currently has the strength to move independently, so it is likely to remain at the mercy of the VIX…
