It’s been a tumultuous month for the bitcoin community. A series of scandals has seen the price of the leading crypto-currency fall by over 50% from its peak of almost $1200 in December.
There’s been no shortage of criticism of bitcoin from economists and leading business people who see its recent woes as the start of its decline.
