    Crypto Market Update: Bitcoin Tops $12,000 as Global Markets Collapse on Trump’s China Tariffs

    Author: Jonathan Berger

    Bitcoin is in the green again, marking sharp increases over the past week.

    The Libra effect has certainly affected the market and the industry as more people are getting exposed to Bitcoin and blockchain technology. This is especially true after Congress started discussing Libra and cryptocurrencies, while also learning to differentiate between various technologies.

    Is it still too early to get excited about Bitcoin’s block halving?

    Not since 2017’s bull run has Bitcoin received the amount of attention it’s been getting in the last few months. The price rally, fiery congressional debates, and renewed interest in various digital currency technologies were all unexpected. Furthermore, the market remained unmoved by Bitcoin’s sharp correction which returned to ride the green candles of worldwide trading exchanges.

    Another important consideration is that the stock market tumbled amid the intensifying trade war between the two largest economies in the world – the U.S. and China. However, Bitcoin responded with quick and sharp gains.

    And while Bitcoin continues to go up, the altcoin market keeps on declining, and almost every trader or investor who holds any alts feels the contraction of their portfolios against Bitcoin, observing how Bitcoin’s dominance continues to take value away from altcoins.

    However, there are still altcoins which have continued to rise in value against BTC such as Tezos, which increased by more than 10%. However, that is not enough to inspire confidence among investors and traders.

    To summarize, it was a positive week for Bitcoin, and the cryptocurrency market continues to grow and mature. This is despite the many challenges that it faces. As we have learned so far, the pace of events in this market is very fast, and it’s also very difficult to predict what the future holds.
