    EARLIER this year, when bitcoin's price fell by more than 60 per cent from its record close, a less noticed bitcoin figure also plunged: the number of daily transactions.

    There are many explanations for the fall-off in trading, from software- to news-related. What's less understood is why the level hasn't recovered as bitcoin's price made a 50 per cent comeback since Feb 5. That has left some investors wondering whether the cryptocurrency is waning in popularity.
