Hey I'm Joe Weisenthal co-host of what'd you Miss?. So today I'm looking at something that really people have not been talking about that much lately and into bitcoin. Remember a couple of years ago the surgeon was constantly in the news reports about the future of money and everything. Massive speculative boom bubble and peaked and then collapsed. If you look at the long term chart here you can see how classic bubbles shot up and has been diving ever since. But something is interesting happening in the last few months it's really been on quite a surge. It's doubled basically from just a few months ago really spiking up. This is the first time in awhile feels like people are talking about bitcoin again. I don't think there's one specific answer for what happened but Bitcoin obviously hasn't died. There's still a lot of investment in startups. There's a lot of interest in the technology in terms of how can be used in various ways. People are still transacting in bitcoin in small amounts. So while the price fell a lot. Clearly the community didn't die and now the price is actually starting to come back up again. I think it's going to start it's starting to get a lot more attention. That's my color chart. Watch what you miss at 4:00 p.m. Eastern .
