At the current price that bitcoin is at, one would expect that the number of people that buying bitcoin will be quite low, as the high prices may deter people from investing. In fact it is always best to wait for a price reduction before buying crypto. However, this does not seem to be the case. A recent article that was published on Coindesk has shown that the number of purchases of bitcoin over the counter has risen steeply. The possible reason for this purchase of bitcoin over the counter is to try and reduce the impact that this has on the crypto exchanges and the market for the bitcoin currency. According to the CIO at coindesk this shows that there are new investors that are trying to buy into the crypto investment market and are doing so consistently.
