The sharp selloff in Bitcoin this week is stoking fresh questions about the sustainability of the cryptocurrency boom.

Prices for the digital asset have tumbled about 12% this week, marking the steepest decline since September. Bitcoin was higher on Friday, pushed back above $32,000 after a series of wild swings the past two days. Commentators have cautioned that a sustained drop below $30,000 could presage further losses.
