According to BTC.com data, the current best transaction fee for the Bitcoin network is 14 Satoshi/vbyte.

Why does bitcoin’s long-term price just keep going up? This seemingly evergreen topic has a tendency to bring out some of the wildest takes imaginable, with institutional proximity tending to be inversely related to explanatory power.

Data shows that Bitcoin hit a new historical high of 7.9 million yen on the Japanese cryptocurrency trading platform bitFLYER on Monday this week. In comparison, the Bitcoin price in US dollars is $52,000, which is 32% lower than the historical high of $69,000 in November 2021. This price difference reflects the pressure on the yen under the continued loose policy of the Bank of Japan (BOJ) and inflation recovery, despite the significant interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve and other central banks in 2022 and 2023 to curb inflation. The Bank of Japan will maintain zero interest rates and continue to print a large amount of currency. Japan's core inflation rose 3.1% in 2023, the largest increase since 1982, and the yen depreciated by 8% in 2023.

Bitcoin’s price has been on a relentless ascent, momentarily crossing the $50,000 threshold. This surge is partly fuelled by increased investments in Bitcoin ETFs and a reduction in selling pressure from GBTC. However, the dynamics extend beyond ETF activities. A resurgence in global liquidity is bolstering both equity and digital asset markets, reflecting an uptick in the money supply.

According to data compiled by Coingecko, the price of Bitcoin on Valentine's Day 2024 reached a new high of $49,732. The specific prices for each year are as follows:

An analyst has stated that risky assets such as Bitcoin seem to be able to withstand the stickiness of inflation in the United States and the decreased likelihood of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in the first half of this year. The market predicts that Bitcoin is poised to reach a new all-time high this year with confidence.

The Fear & Greed Index, which measures market sentiment for bitcoin and other digital assets, has reached a score of 79 out of 100, indicating a period of "extreme greed" among traders. This level was last seen in November 2021 when bitcoin hit its all-time high of $69,000. However, it is important to note that when investors become too greedy, the market is typically due for a correction. The index has consistently been above the threshold for "greed" since October 2021, but fell to 50 in January following the approval of bitcoin ETFs. Despite this, bitcoin has more than doubled in price over the past year, reaching a high of over $50,000 yesterday.

On February 14th, the BitVol (Bitcoin volatility) index launched by financial index company T3 Index in conjunction with Bitcoin options trading platform LedgerX fell to 57.11 yesterday, with a daily decline of 3.02%.
