Bitcoin Slumps
Through the past 24 hours, the price of bitcoin fell from $8,600 to $7,840, by nearing $800. While trading volumes of most major cryptocurrencies across unequalled exchanges remain low overall, bitcoin’s daily trading volume has been somewhat low, with sell volumes intensifying on exchanges like Bitfinex and Bithumb.
Yesterday, on Walk 16, CCN reported that although many analysts within the cryptocurrency sector and ancestral finance industry unanimously agree on an optimistic long-term price veer for the cryptocurrency sector, the majority are skeptical towards the short-term momentum of bitcoin, prearranged the 70 percent correction it has suffered since January.

But, as demonstrated by a cryptocurrency analyst safer known as Wolf of Crypto below, it is important to acknowledge that bitcoin has suffered the third lousiest crash in its history, behind the 83 percent crash from $259 to $43 in April 2013, and the 87 percent smash from $1,163 to $152 throughout late 2013 and 2014.
If speculators and investors think 10 to 100-fold returns, it is only logical to also contemplate 50 to 80 percent decline in value, given that volatility occurs going up and down. Moreover, the cryptocurrency market is still at its early situation; not enough retailers have adopted cryptocurrencies as a payment method and not sufficient projects have shown commercial success to demonstrate their passive to revolutionize trillion-dollar industries.
It is difficult for any major cryptocurrency to recover from its current 70 percent correction because this time, investors in the mainstream and consumers markets have been damaged by the decline in the price of cryptocurrencies. Beforehand, cryptocurrencies were considered as an up-and-coming asset class with the dormant to be worth many trillions of dollars in the future.
Now, a small portion of investors that wise significant losses in the latest correction see the market as a bubble and as a failed break, despite the optimistic comments of some of the finance and technology industries’ largest selects, including Peter Thiel and Alan Howard.
The mainstream media is giving to the continuous decline in the value of bitcoin, by offering predictions that can be reckoned absurd, given the lack of basis for them. For instance, a recent coverage by Bloomberg demanded the price of bitcoin will likely fall to $2,800, without providing substantiation or indication of some sort.
