Bitcoin hits $ 40,000 and overturns Tesla

Crypto at a glance

Bitcoin price continues to hit new highs, jumping above $ 40,000 like Tigger did on amphetamines before a sharp correction caused $ 3,000 to plummet in less than an hour.

You can’t keep a good cryptocurrency low, however, and the oldest in the world was soon back in action, hitting around $ 39,000 again. That kind of volatility is to be expected in a bull market as people take profits – which maybe doesn’t make it any less nerve-wracking when it does, but this is cryptocurrency, and those of us who have been around for a while have learned to use it to roll punches.

It’s somewhat less good news for other alts, however, many of whom have seen corrections in the past 24 hours after a week of strong gains – although they can certainly still consider the past 7 days a success, with the majority in the green .
