Hey kids, did you hear about the stock market and Bitcoin this week? It was a bit of a rollercoaster! The stock market, where grown-ups buy and sell parts of big companies, went up and down. Bitcoin, a type of cryptocurrency (like digital money), also had some big swings.
- Stocks in the U.S. went down a lot in February, then went up a bit at the end.
- Bitcoin, the most famous cryptocurrency, fell below $79,000 but then bounced back.
- Economists are watching how much people are spending and how fast prices are rising.
