The past couple of hours have been wild for Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency went as high as $18,500 before retracing to $17,230 – all in less than an hour.
SpaceX’s Crew-1 spaceship flew 4 astronauts to space yesterday. But it seems the shuttle also dragged the bitcoin and cryptocurrency market along with it.
