The leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin, which had fallen to the 51 million won range the previous day, rebounded to the 55 million won range. Optimists directly refuted Tesla CEO Elon Musk's claim that Bitcoin harms the environment. According to a representative from a domestic cryptocurrency exchange, as of 2:06 PM on the 18th, Bitcoin recorded 55.58 million won, up 2.83% from the previous day. It had fallen for four consecutive trading days since the 14th, dropping from the 70 million won range to 51.38 million won the previous day, but then rebounded.
