The recent trend of Bitcoin is breathtaking. Just this week, the price of Bitcoin denominated in US dollars has experienced a roller coaster market from 300 to 500 and then to 380. It is not surprising to see a single-day increase or decrease of 10%, or even close to 20%.

The recent market trend was triggered by the expansion of the application of blockchain, the core technology of Bitcoin. It is reported that the investment of 100 large financial institutions in blockchain-related projects in the next two years is expected to reach US$1 billion.

The characteristics of the high volatility market have caused the price of Bitcoin to plummet. However, investors are fortunate that Bitcoin, like other sovereign currencies, can be shorted.

At 13:19 Beijing time on November 5, Bitcoin/USD was 417.49, Bitcoin/Euro was 379.54, and Bitcoin/RMB was 2943.00.
