I thought bitcoin was Haram to the Muslims. OH, have they embraced this new money also now?
No it is not haram in Muslims but it is a new technology and there is no bad to adopt the new and advanced technology which do not have anything wrong. Islam only forbid those things which give harm to the people and to the society while bitcoin is giving much benefits to the people and to the society. It is giving jobs to many unemployment. So Islam accept that type of technology which have benefit to the people and to the society.
As all of the Muslims are withdrawing their money for this Eid which will be on the coming Friday or Saturday the price of bitcoin is reducing. After that none of them will need that money and they will recover their previous portfolio and for that they will buy back their bitcoin which they sold now. The price of bitcoin will rise again. Stay tuned as it is June and the price of bitcoin will boost like a rocket.
Are you serious ? bitcoin price speculation has nothing to do with regional festivals around the world ! it depends mainly on developments , adaptation and many other factors .for example if gulf countries legalize bitcoin as main currency to be used between those countries will increase demand and the price moon fast .
Do you not know that when people sell bitcoin on a large scale then the price reduces? Do you not know that for celebrating a festival people need money?
Because of mass selling the rice dropped.
