Bitcoin hits New High of $400

Bitcoin has been enjoying alot of rally this 2016 as it touches $400 has shown in our morning chat today and lots of people are taking position including Nigerians through a project 1-9-90 and other Africa.

 Following a steady resurgence after a low of $360 in January, the price of the cryptocurrency scaled past $400 for the first time in February.

The Bitstamp Price Index (BPI) struck $400 for the first time this month yesterday at 10:50 AM UTC. Trading saw Bitcoin price reach a high of $405.83 toward the end of the Sunday. Eventually, the BPI struck a high of $407.44 in the early hours of Feb 15th today.

At the time of publishing, bitcoin was trading at $399.97.

While the bitcoin community remains divided in the controversial block size debate, the recent steady swell could arguably be attributed to the stand taken by key bitcoin exchanges and miners. The Bitcoin Roundtable – a community of miners, exchanges, wallets and businesses published a letter to announce their rejection of Bitcoin Classic, a hard-fork. The statement from mining pools that collectively make up the majority of the bitcoin network’s hashing rate could have had a telling effect in the price of bitcoin.

Another reason that is likely to have an influence on price is the opening of Chinese markets today following a week-long Lunar Year Near holiday. Furthermore, as CCN resident analyst Venzen Khaosan notes, the pausing of the Fed funds rate hike also sees Bitcoin emulate gold in a price rally.

This year, Bitcoin price has reached a high of $457 on January 7 before a volatile month saw bitcoin trading end January at $368.49 in the Bitcoin Price Index. The plunge in price came soon after former core developer Mike Hearn’s post where he announced his departure from the Bitcoin space.
