According to market analysts, the increase in bitcoin price was due to several factors. First, the weakening of the US dollar from other countries' currencies in recent times.

"They (investors) are all betting big on bitcoin as a protection against inflation, uncertainty and turmoil in 2020," said Lolli CEO Alex Adelman.
