China’s President Xi Jinping’s endorsement of the blockchain technology sent bitcoin up by more than 40 percent.<\/p>\n

The benchmark cryptocurrency established a new session high of $10,540.49 after rising by $3,109 over the weekend. The surplus gains came after a depressive performance last week, wherein bitcoin price shed as much as 17.33 percent, or $1,529.96. However, on Friday, Xinping called blockchain “a core technology” of China’s next-age innovation plans. The premier called for more investments into the nascent sector, a move that speculators treated as bullish for blockchain’s first working application, Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Maple Leaf Capital, a UK-based investment management company, conclusively suggested that Jinping’s comments on the blockchain would make it possible for people to ignore Bitcoin. The more educated a common man becomes about the cryptocurrency, the better would be his likelihood\u00a0of buying it. Excerpts:<\/p>\n

“Doesn’t mean [Bitcoin]\u00a0<\/span>can’t go lower in the interim (chart says chop for a while), but this event is something to be extra mindful of as it actually drives both narrative and fundamentals (i.e. demand), similar to the halving being a supply event.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I meant halving step-function reduces SUPPLY! duh silly me, got too excited typing it all out.<\/p>\n
