Bitcoin took the bar 700 dollars after a positive assessment of the virtual currency by the US Senate

If someone did not believe that the course of Bitcoin can grow so quickly, it's time to believe. The mark of 700 dollars has already been overcome, and the price of a unit of cryptocurrency continues to increase. It is worth noting that the rate increase by 40% immediately occurred after the US Senate held the first hearings on the assessment of the potential of virtual currencies, including, of course, Bitcoin.

Senators decided that virtual currency is quite a legitimate payment instrument. Probably, the senators' opinion was largely based on the evaluations of US state agents, who, in general, positively rated Bitcoin. It was reported that cryptocurrency can be considered a legitimate financial instrument that benefits both society and the state.

And yes, despite the fact that it was the FBI that closed the Silk Road drug resource, this organization, in general, positively assessed cryptocurrency. However, the FBI representatives asked to pay attention to possible cases of using cryptocurrency by criminals.

In general, now we should expect further growth of the cryptocurrency rate - after the hearings the rate is unlikely to fall sharply. After all, in fact, Bitcoin is recognized at the state level, putting the virtual currency on par with real money.
