Bitcoin: Exceeds $ 50,000, first time in 3 months

(ANSA) - ROME, AUGUST 23 - Bitcoins are back above $ 50,000 for the first time in three months. The most popular cryptocurrency marks an increase of 3.47% on Asian markets around 13:00 local (7:00 in Italy), to 50,316.87 dollars, the highest level since mid-May, when the downward trend began for a series of problems between China's turnaround on cryptocurrencies and the decision of Tesla patron Elon Musk to stop accepting it for the purchase of electric cars on fears of the environmental impact of the 'mining' production of digital currency.
