The price of Bitcoin has witnessed a ‘bloodbath’ in the last few weeks with dramatic fluctuations.

However, its valuation recovered today to $11,000 (£7,900), after hitting below $10,000 (£7,187) earlier this week.

Analysts believe that the cryptocurrency’s volatility is likely to continue amid reports that the governments of China and South Korea were looking to ban trading of cryptocurrencies.

Established in 2009 after the financial meltdown, Bitcoin is a digital currency that has no central bank or regulatory authority backing it up. The digital coins are stored in a digital wallet or on the cloud and can be used in transactions.
