Bitcoin Price Not Affected By Chinese Stock Market Crash
The financial situation in China is anything but stable right now, as the continuing devaluation of the Chinese Yuan is causing a lot of worry and confusion. To make matters even worse, the country’s entire market crashed yesterday, leading to an emergency stop all trading activities. When all was said and done, the stock market lost 7% of their value in less than a day, and more chaos would have ensued if trading hadn’t been halted at that time. Time for plan Bitcoin in China by the look of things.

The Bitcoin price has overcome the level of $450 and reached a top of $460 recently. Bitcoin is growing the second day in a row. But what caused this growth?
