This comes on the heels of the Sliver-Spring, Md.-based bitcoin e-commerce company's Mar. 26 announcements that it invested $1.5 million in GoCoin, LLC, another digital currency company.
However, despite this positive news, Bitcoin's share value continued its downward spiral. Just one short month ago, BTCS share price closed at $1.70. On Mar. 27, its share price closed at 39 cents, down 2 cents from its close of 41 cents the previous day.
Surge initially based on Hype
On Feb. 10, Bitcoin shop's share price was more than $4 as a result of the excitement and curiosity swirling around anything to do with the mysterious new Internet currency Bitcoin. But part of the boost was a direct result company launching a new ecommerce website (www.bitcoinshop.us) where consumers can purchase products using virtual currency such as Bitcoin, by searching through selection of over 400 categories and over 140,000 items.
But it appears the hype surrounding the new site has worn off fast among shareholders who might be wondering just how all this will translate into profits, rather than losses. This is especially true with all of the negative news surrounding the Bitcoin currency lately, including the Mt. Gox Bitcoin exchange bankruptcy filing.
A Murky and Unregulated Currency
Bitcoin is a digital or virtual currency that uses peer-to-peer technology to facilitate instant payments. Bitcoin is categorized as a cryptocurrency. That's because it uses cryptography for security, making it difficult to counterfeit. Bitcoin issuance and transactions are carried out collectively by the network, with no central authority, and allow users to make secure, verified transfers.
Although true believers in the digital currency minimize its risks, industry experts recommend using extreme caution when evaluating companies involved with it. Only time will tell which view is the most accurate.
