After a rough start to the week that brought Bitcoin’s (BTC) price to below $7,500 Sunday, March 18, the market is in the green today, March 24 with BTC inching closer to $9,000, up about 18 percent since the drop. Since Monday, March 19, BTC has been trading sideways, staying between $8-$9,000 on average.

On March 21, CEO of both Twitter and Square Jack Dorsey said that he sees Bitcoin as the world and Internet’s future – singular – currency, potentially what caused BTC’s price to break $9,000 that same day.

However, just the next day, March 22, Bitcoin prices dropped again below $9K, and altcoins followed, after some uncertainty surrounding cryptocurrency exchange Binance – who received a notice from the Japanese Financial Services Authority (FSA) for being unregistered and then announced it was moving to Malta – unsettled markets.
