Bitcoin continues to free fall. On Thursday, the digital currency touched a low of $3,203. That's the lowest the currency has been in fifteen months. On Thursday, the FBI said that bomb threats were mailed across the country by someone demanding bitcoin.
The nation’s unemployment rate fell to 3.9 percent for the first time since 2000, with the economy gaining 164,000 jobs in April, according to data released Friday morning by the Department of Labor.
