Only several months ago, the news about bitcoin was among the top ones in financial and other periodicals, however, at the moment, you can hardly find any. Most people even do not remember the meaning of the word. Bitcoin is the most popular decentralized crypto-currency and its circulation is not controlled. The news that the digital currency began trading on the Stockholm market became front-page. The Bitcoin Tracker One (BTO) certificate was authorized by Stockholm-based Bitcoin tracker XBT Provider and now it monitors the bitcoin price. Earlier, bitcoin caused sensation and gained popularity as a payment method. Its price touched the reading of 1.145 US dollars. However, central banks of several countries, including Russia and China, announced that the digital currency throttled the economy.
"I get worried when people think that Bitcoin has a determined value. People have so far agreed that they are worth this or that much, but that's just like the value of a collectors' item. It's an agreement between buyer and seller," savings analyst Claes Hemberg of the Avanza bank said. “You shouldn't put more money towards Bitcoin than you would bet on a horse race. You can win, but also lose everything," he warned. Interestingly, today, digital currencies are accepted in over 60 thousand online shops in the world.
