Various incidents drove volatility in Bitcoin's price. A South Korean crypto firm
accidentally distributed billions of dollars in Bitcoin to users. Simultaneously, receding popularity of El Salvadorβs Bitcoin president and a potential tie between Bitcoin and Jeffrey Epstein affected crypto trust. Furthermore, it was believed that ransomware perpetrators were seeking Bitcoin on the presumption it was anonymous. Bitcoin's price experienced dramatic fluctuations, causing immense losses but also providing a
buying opportunity for some investors. Some, like Cathie Wood, remained steadfast in their optimism, despite Bitcoin losing more than half its value. Emerging analysis indicates that Bitcoin's slump might be a feature, not a crisis, of the volatile cryptocurrency. While skeptics such as UBS warn against crypto, optimists predict Bitcoin could reach a
value of $850,000 in a decade. Another Korean exchange's inadvertent Bitcoin giveaway prompted panic. The impact of artificial intelligence on Bitcoin is yet to be seen, as it endured a brutal sell-off with some predicting an even more significant slide. As it currently recovers, the trustworthiness of the crypto market is in question.
