Yesterday, this trading instrument once again tried to hit the record high at $2,770, so today buyers fix their profits. As a result, Bitcoin retreated to the level of $2,540. The digital currency has been in demand recently as the issue of splitting the crypto currency into two independent units was resolved. The majority of market participants confirmed the necessity of updating software for mining. The process will be upgraded this fall, and these expectations may return the uptrend in the digital currency. According to midterm forecasts, 1 bitcoin will be worth $3,000.
