Bitcoin in the News : 2017-02 Price

For the third consecutive month I'm practically forced to start Bitcoin in the News with a post about the preceding month's price; see 2017-01 Price for last month.


Bitcoin Price Index

The chart from Cointelegraph.com shows the price crossing USD $1000 at the beginning of the month, dropping below that psychological level to a local low on 10 February, then rising to nearly $1200 by the end of the month. A number of articles from the same source attempt to provide an explanation. Once again, the single most dominant reason is *China*.

The phrase 'ETF Nearing' expands to 'the industry’s optimism towards the Winklevoss twin’s Bitcoin ETF approval on March 11'. With that in mind, I'm almost certain that I'll be doing a post next month for 2017-03 Price.
