Before this weekend, bitcoin also took a hike in its prices and reached back again to its price of $38,000, which is an effect of a tweet from the popular Tesla CEO and founder Elon Musk. The hike and downfall in the prices of bitcoin are due to its high degree of volatility and also can be compared to the VIX indicator of US equity market. The indicator states that the volatility of bitcoin is even higher and above 130, which is more than the stock version of the US equity market in the last 30 years.

Another most important and drastic blow to bitcoin came recently when China is also trying to control the effect of cryptocurrencies in its market. There is a high degree of financial risk in China when people are investing their money in bitcoins, and to control this, it is going to crack down on cryptocurrency mining. Edward Maya, an expert in market analysis of a cryptocurrency, said that bitcoin is facing two problems at the same time. One is it is decreasing reliance on China which is going to take a long time to become normal, and the other one is ESG.

A warning came from Beijing, which is released by the People’s Bank of China, and the bank has told the financial institutions do not accept cryptocurrencies for payment. As always, China has never liked anything getting out of its control. It always tries to keep everything under control in each country, and it is unable to see that the cryptocurrency market is taking over the whole financial institutions and system. It is one of the most important because of which it is feeling displeasure old and therefore, is being offended by the anonymity of it by bitcoins to its people.
It is not a new thing to experience that governments are trying to take control of everything. In the beginning, the government of every country try to regulate things and then take ownership of the scene. Also, this has happened in the past, that the government of any country is not ready to give up its Monetary Monopolies in its geographical boundaries. Government looks at cryptocurrencies as a threat to its control over the country and financial system, because of which China has been trying to control it from spreading further in its geographical boundaries. When bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies start competing with the Fiat currency in the real sense, it is going to be a crackdown for the regulators and policymakers.
