^^^OMG, I got into the office at my regular 8:00, turned on the computer, and it's just up and running now. ....like an hour later.
Not that long ago there were folks tapping their HELOCS to buy these....oops!
Bitcoin plunged more than 12 per cent on Monday, extending falls in recent weeks in a broad-based selloff in digital currencies as sentiment sours.
Several factors have accelerated the downturn, analysts said, including increased U.S. regulatory scrutiny and a delay to January 2019 of the widely-anticipated launch of bitcoin futures by Bakkt, Intercontinental Exchange’s crypto platform.
“These factors coupled with lukewarm network fundamentals and reports of falling adoption of crypto as a tool for services such as payments, have led to strong selling pressure against a lack of buying resistance — to a point of apparent capitulation,” said Aditya Das, analyst at Brave New Coin, a crypto asset market data company.
Bitcoin fell to as low as $3,519.94 on the Bitstamp platform, after earlier falling to a 14-month trough of $3,462,57, and was last down 12.6 per cent. It has lost 74 per cent of its value so far this year, after hitting nearly $20,000 in December last year.
Other digital currencies also fell sharply, with Ethereum’s ether down 7 per cent at $106.69 and Ripple’s XRP falling 5.6 per cent to 34 U.S. cents.
I never understood crytocurrency. How is it regulated, how is the value set. I barely have a grasp on how real currency works (inflation, deflation, interest, etc.)
If a nation's currency did what Bitcoin is doing ....we would call it Venezuela.
