Readers Respond: Short on Bitcoin

Earlier this week, HBSDealer took note of the price of a Bitcoin — roughly $15,000. On Friday, the cryptocurrency value was running at about $13,860.

That sharp drop shows the financial acumen of readers of HBSDealer, the vast majority of whom described $15,000 price tag on a single Bitcoin as "ridiculously high," in this week's poll question.

Specifically, the poll asked: "The cryptocurrency known as Bitcoin was selling for just under $15,000 on Monday. What's your take?"

• 
  9% — At $15,000, Bitcoin is a bargain


• 
  3% — At $15,000, Bitcoin is priced about right


• 
  9% — At $15,000, Bitcoin is high


• 
  79% — Come on, $15,000 is ridiculously high

As a point of information, Bitcoin's price in early January 2017 was a little more than $1,000.
