Bitcoin’s mining business continues its extensive development around the world as its price advance recovers.
With the price of Bitcoin again above USD 19,000, the advance of the mining of this crypt currency continues unstoppable. As large companies continue to invest their capital in the main virtual currency, the fever for extracting it continues to rise.
In this last particular case, the initiative of Square, the company of Jack Dorsey, CEO of Twitter, stands out. This firm has been one of the pioneers in the investment in Bitcoin, obtaining great profits this year 2020. Not satisfied with that, its management is starting to explore with mining.
But, on the other side of the coin, the possibility of a drop in Bitcoin’s price stands out. The fact could be connected to the miners‘ prediction of their intention to sell. In other words, it is likely that the market is on the verge of a massive coin sale by the miners.
Bitcoin’s mining progress in the week
During the last seven days, news related to the advance of the mining of the most popular of the crypto currencies has been abundant. In this summary, we present you with a selection of the five most important pieces of information about this futuristic business. These are the titles:

Risk of massive Bitcoin sales at the gates
Another news related to the advance of Bitcoin’s mining business that impacted the week, is a possible massive sale. In this case, it is information that worries the crypto community, since the rally above 20K could be postponed once again.
The hypothesis is collected from CryptoQuant data, according to which Bitcoin miners are conducting massive sales. The metrics shown by the analysis firm track the magnitude of Bitcoins leaving the miners‘ portfolios. According to it, it’s the highest in three years.
This could suggest that a massive sale of coins is underway. This would negatively affect the price of Bitcoin. However, soon after this metric was known, the price of the pioneer cryptcoin has risen again and seems to be looking for consolidation above 19K.
