The past few weeks have been tough for crypto investors. Indeed, they have been marked by a prolonged market downturn and a growing sense of distrust. Bitcoin, the engine of the sector, has nonetheless recorded a spectacular rebound. Thus, it surpassed $84,000 after having dropped to as low as $78,248.
