On Thursday, March 4, Bitcoin is trading just below $ 50,000. It was quickly able to recover from the losses suffered last week. Support increased in areas where large investors bought, the WhaleMap team emphasized.

At the very beginning of January this year, BTC was at $ 28,900, after which its value almost doubled. Many cryptosphere proponents are optimistic. For example, Morgan Creek co-founder Anthony Pompliano generally thinks bitcoin could skyrocket to $ 1 million.
