Bitcoin and the financial markets situation Just after writing about a possible financial crisis, triggered by Bitcoin, the markets around the world dropped and the Bitcoin price finally stabilized at 40% of its all-time height.

We still don't know, what ...

Bitcoin will trigger the next financial crisis! I was writing about Bitcoin and the Blockchain lately. Now I am quite worried about our economy driving into the next crash soon.
