BITCOIN extended its recovery in holiday-thinned trading on Tuesday, rising 10 per cent to be up more than a third from last week's lows of below US$12,000.
Bitcoin, the world's biggest and best-known cryptocurrency, fell nearly 30 per cent at one stage last Friday to US$11,159.93 and, despite a late recovery, had its worst week since 2013. At 0445 GMT on Tuesday, it was quoted around US$15,049 on the Luxembourg-based Bitstamp exchange.
