The price of bitcoin currently around $45k. It went up around 5% ($3k) over the past day or so. But it wouldn't be weird or bad if the price came back down below $40k for a bit until it continues its surge upward over the next 18-24 month bull run.He finally admitted it:Jim Cramer, a well-known Bitcoin skeptic, has recently changed his stance on the cryptocurrency. Acknowledging its resilience, he remarked, "you can't kill it," and admitted to its technological marvel.
