There was a time just a few weeks ago when investors were frustrated with Bitcoin [BTC] for not being able to stay above $45,000. However, at press time, most investors were relieved that the king coin was somehow over $30k as it traded at the price of $30,424.97, after increasing by 0.41% in the past day.
