Somewhere between some cool as well as some hard-to-believe Bitcoin related news, the cryptocurrency managed to continue its upwards movement and reach yet another milestone. Today, the trading price per coin moves around $415, with indicators signalling the trend will probably last in the days to come too.

It seems that the currency found its path towards reaching new highs and we believe that finally the expectations set for 2016 may become reality. In addition to the positive price details, there was some news that we think are worth mentioning to our readers. Keep reading and find out what the Bitocoin has been up to these past two days.

IBM Believes in Bitcoin Technology; Bitcoin Summer School in Greece

IBM not long ago announced that it was committed to making blockchain technology mainstream and ready for business. These statements motivated TechRepublic to prepare an in-depth analysis on whether IBM’s support was enough for the cryptocurrency to become widely accepted in the business world. The conclusion by the author was that the Bitcoin technology was still in development and it needs time and dedication before it becomes a concept loved by companies.

Also, semi-positive news is the fact that Germany, alongside the other EU members, isn’t only focused on cracking down on Bitcoin, but cash as well. Turns out the country plans to introduce a €5,000 limit on cash transactions; this shows that the countries are indeed dedicated to prevention of money laundering and terrorism funding rather than simply attacking digital currencies.

In Greece, nonetheless, this summer interested people can attend a Bitcoin summer school, whose goal is to increase Bitcoin awareness. This info goes arm in arm with the Australian Flux Party’s plan to replace the current outdated political system with the help of Bitcoin.

There are, however, two technical indicators STOCH and Williams %R whose respective values of 84.863 and -12.147 show that the Bitcoin is being overbought at the time.
