Bitcoin has had its fair share of highs and lows this year and December was no different. During a time when investors and holders were having fraught thoughts over the condition of the world’s largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin’s value continued to float in the $7000- $8000 region. At press time, Bitcoin was making no effort to close the year on a high as it traded for $7225.7.

1-day:
