NEW YORK, August 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
The price of Bitcoin increased over 2% Thursday, or above $4,200 as most major cryptocurrencies
recovered after several days of instability. The total market value of Bitcoin currently stands at about $70 billion. The recent volatility of Bitcoin was triggered by the adoption of a new protocol, the Segregated
Witness protocol, or simply SegWit. According to MarketWatch, Bitcoin was in need to increase transaction sizes in the blockchain
network. The adoption of SegWit, which was meant to solve the scaling issue, wasn't smooth. Some users rejected it, which has led
to the split of bitcoin that created Bitcoin Cash. The recent advances in bitcoin, along with the recovery in Ethereum, brought
the total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies above $150 billion, MarketWatch reported.

UAHC), Bitcoin Investment Trust (OTC: GBTC), BTCS Inc. (OTC: BTCS).
Experts such as Crypto Analyst Petar Zivkovski, claim that at this point, 'SegWit is old news
for the market.' According to CoinDesk, Zivkovski explains that the SegWit upgrade, even though impactful, was simply a 'buy the
rumor' event for many traders. Therefore, before Bitcoin adopts the top-level payment networks and other next-generation features
enabled by SegWit, profit-taking is expected. On the other hand, Arthur Hayes, CEO of bitcoin
derivatives exchange BitMEX, is more optimistic in the long term. "My upside price target is $4,500
then $5,000," he told CoinDesk.
Chineseinvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) on August 14th announced, "The launch of its
cryptocurrency education and trading subscription service on Chinesefn.com, the Company's dynamic financial website that provides
real-time market commentary, analysis, and educational related services to Chinese-speaking investors. The new subscription
service will cover timely news and will provide analysis regarding all aspects of the emerging digital currency world, including
coverage of cryptocurrencies including bitcoin and ethereum, industry trends, price movement, sector related stocks and ETFs,
etc.
Cryptocurrency has attracted a lot of attention in recent years from the creation of bitcoin, the world's first decentralized
digital currency to blockchain technology, which allows cryptocurrency to transfer value across the globe without resorting to
traditional intermediaries such as banks. The ability to transfer value solely through software is a huge breakthrough. The
cryptocurrency market has also created new phenomena such as currency mining, trading, tender, and storage. At the same time, it
has significantly impacted industries such as cybersecurity, cloud computing and storage, and semiconductors."
"Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin have become a global phenomenon," says Warren Wang, Founder and CEO of CIIX.
"Since January 2015, the price of Bitcoin has increased 500% from $200 to $1,000 in January 2017,
and just spiked to a record high over $4,000 as US-North Korea tensions escalated. Likewise, ethereum has surged from
less than $10 to more than $300 this year. With the use and trading of cryptocurrencies on the rise
in Asia, it appears that a much wider adoption of digital assets may be right around the corner. With an estimated 85%
market share, China is one of the dominant players controlling bitcoin volume, along with Japan (which
recently legalized bitcoin as a form of payment) and the United States. While many see the unique opportunity that
cryptocurrency poses for investors and desire to capitalize on this market opportunity, they may not have a full understanding of
the concept of digital currency or how the system works. CIIX intends to provide fundamental knowledge to Chinese speaking
newcomers to cryptocurrency, including straightforward explanations of the basics of cryptocurrency, how to buy it and
straightforward trading guidelines. For those with cryptocurrency experience, the Company will provide more detailed information
regarding currency mining, blockchain technology, stock trends and ETFs. Through its innovative cryptocurrency education and
trading subscription service, the Company endeavors to be the leading Chinese educational site providing up to date news and
information on digital currencies."
