On March 16, the world’s leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, demonstrated a 3.75% increase, pushing the price to the $76,000 level. Over the past two days, the growth constituted 6.5% as Bitcoin surged from the $71,000 zone. Billy Markus (known on social media as Shibetoshi Nakamoto) took to Twitter to comment on it. Bitcoin drops after rise, Markus comments Markus issued two tweets over the past day. In the first one, he wondered if the crypto market is indeed finally back in the green zone, just when Bitcoin staged a rise to $76,000. However, when the largest crypto went back to $74,000, Shibetoshi Nakamoto tweeted: “i should never say anything” as if he was too quick to issue his previous bullish message.
