The price of bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency player, finally paid out the line of $50,000 (approximately 5593 million won) today (23rd).
According to CoinDesk, a cryptocurrency site, bitcoin began to shake the $50,000 mark per piece as it passed 11 am (Korean time) today, falling to $48,655.
As of 11:30 am, the price is forming at $49,472.
Bitcoin price has exceeded 50,000 dollars since the beginning of last month and some time ago broke the 64,000 dollar mark.
However, it has recently turned downward with a series of warning sounds from major countries.
In particular, it plunged 15% last weekend, when rumors of the US Treasury Department's'money laundering investigation' spread.
The Bloomberg News reported that bitcoin prices have declined on the 7th of the 8th.
However, even now, the price of bitcoin is up by 75% from the beginning of the year.
