Crypto Volatility
by Prof. Warren Anderson
Cryptocurrency frequently makes the news on large price increases and declines. Bitcoin’s path since early 2017 has been wild: below $1000, peaked shy of $20,000, crashed to roughly $3500, then back up to $12,000, down to $6,000, clear up to $60,000, down to $32,000, reached $65,000, down to $19,000 and now is around $24,000. Such wild swings can be viewed as a great deterrent for entry and makes one wonder how such volatility is possible.   [more]
