Investors in bitcoin in 2016-17 reaped the benefits when bitcoin prices grew to explosive prices of nearly $20,000. However, since 2018 January the fall in prices to as much as $6,500 is also an illustration of the ‘high-stakes’ game which bitcoin currently is, given it is yet part of an unregulated market.
