Bitcoin Plunges 25% in 24 Hours in a Cryptocurrency Market Rout
The price of bitcoin tumbled sharply Friday in Asia, wiping one-fourth of its market value in the past 24 hours alone, as a wave of selling hit the broader cryptocurrency market just before the Christmas holiday weekend.

Bitcoin recently traded at $12,500, according to research site CoinDesk. The notoriously volatile digital currency started December at about $10,000 and traded close to $20,000 this past weekend, but has been in retreat since.

From its recent peak, the virtual currency has lost about $121 billion of its total market value in less than a week, or more than twice the market cap of Tesla.

It wasn't the only currency feeling the pain. Many so-called "altcoins"--shorthand for alternative versions of bitcoin--also declined. And of the 31 digital currencies that have at least a $1 billion market value, 29 were recently down, according to data provider CoinMarketCap.

Ether, the second-biggest digital currency by market value, dropped 26% over the past 24 hours. Another currency called litecoin was down 32%. Its creator, Charlie Lee, said earlier this week that he was selling all his holdings of the currency. Litecoin, whose price hit an all-time high of $375 on Tuesday, recently traded at $229.

Mr. Lee, a former Google engineer who created litecoin in 2011, also warned on Twitter that litecoin was getting "so much mainstream exposure" and that "every crypto bull run I've seen has been followed by a bear cycle."

Digital currencies exploded into the mainstream this year, garnering attention for huge price gains as well as significant swings and drawing scores of investors around the world. The market's price moves starkly contrast with how most traditional asset classes have fared so far this year, such as stocks and bonds, where volatility has been relatively low.

Bitcoin has fallen more than 30% over the past four days, its fifth such decline of that magnitude this year, according to Charlie Bilello, director of research at Pension Partners, an investment-advisory firm in New York. In the prior four instances, it took Bitcoin an average of 38 days to hit a new high.

Bitcoin trading volumes in recent months have been driven to a large extent by investors in South Korea, Japan and other parts of Asia, where digital currencies have gained greater recognition. Rising interest from institutional investors and Wall Street firms have also helped legitimize the currency and contributed to bitcoin's big gains.

Bitcoin futures prices on Cboe Global Markets and CME Group, both of which started trading the contracts earlier this month, were both more than 10% lower on Friday. They were recently pricing in a lower value for the digital currency in the first quarter of 2018 than its current value, a state known in futures markets as "backwardation" and a potentially bearish sign.

A popular alternative currency called Bitcoin Cash has also fallen 40% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap. The bitcoin offshoot climbed in value earlier in the week after Coinbase, which operates one of the world's largest cryptocurrency trading platforms, said its users would be able to trade the currency on its systems.

Coinbase, however, has so far had to intermittently halt trading due to insufficient liquidity. The company is also investigating allegations that some of its insiders or their family and friends could have traded Bitcoin Cash ahead of its launch plans.

One outlier is ripple, the third largest digital currency by market value. It has surged 30% in the past 24 hours.

The explosive growth in cryptocurrencies has drawn plenty of skeptics, including central banks, government officials, top bankers and others who think bitcoin is in a bubble that won't end well when it bursts.


last one out is a rotten egg...chuckle



less then 50% fair use act.

end of the year, people taking profits and calculating taxes. I would suspect a drop due to this.

however, if this ponzy coin is taking a dive and there is a run it would be perfect timing to use the holiday Christmas to take advantage of those away and not glued to a computer to crash the market.

I own zero bitcoins however i do own about 40,000 worth of other coins. Personally, bitcoin should crash and burn, it sucks compared to others but the value of it is what gives other coins value, simply stated. I dont see bitcoin going away any time soon, this will likely present a buying opportunity for many people. Bitcoin was super bloated, its super slow, outdated, etc.. Something is going to take its place, what that is yet i haven't got an answer. Could be etherium, but probably not, could be litecoin but probably not, might even be ripple, who knows at this point. Im glad to see bitcoin come down but not at the expense of my other coins and thats the slippery slope in crypto.

No one has lost anything if your money is still in it. You only lose if you sell for less than what you paid. My honest opinion, it will most certainly rebound. Always does. Remember to buy low and sell high. Dont be a tard and pull your money out now if you paid 17 g for bitcoin.

Investing in Bitcoin is like investing in a 56k dial up modem company in 2018 when everyone else is on high speed internet


Bitcoin is slow old and outdated

The only reason it's worth something is because it was pumped up like Nicolas cages crypto coin which reached a high of 52 million dollars in 1 day before it was dumped.

Bit coin is like the Nicolas cages crypto coin. It's only worth something because it's been pumped

 Quoting: MissCleo



It's not crashing because people are cashing out for Christmas or taxes it's crashing because coinbase stole peoples money and bought BCH right before it was listed. If you were paying attention you would know everything has been going down for the last week and suddenly BCH surges like 100% 6 hours before coinbase lists BCH. So this tells Me that they were selling everyones coins at a loss just so they can buy BCH right before they listed it and since no one wanted to pay 9500 for BCH the locked all BCH trading while they sold all their bch at a loss. So in essence they stole everyones money hoping to get rich and now they are having liquidity issues because everyone is runing for the doors.

It guess worse. As miners shut down because the price of electricity is not worth the return the blocks per hour fall. It take something like 2000 blocks before the difficulty is recalculated to make it easier to mine. If the bitcoin miner network stalls transactions will not be processed in a timely manner.

Here's the take away from that article.

Bitcoin has fallen more than 30% over the past four days, its fifth such decline of that magnitude this year, according to Charlie Bilello, director of research at Pension Partners, an investment-advisory firm in New York. In the prior four instances, it took Bitcoin an average of 38 days to hit a new high.

In every other crash it took roughly 38 days to rebound to a new high. So basically we're looking at at least $21,000 early February.

I'm not in BTC, I think it's far too old a technology and not backed by and product or service. It's super slow in processing transactions and the fees are too high. It's basically digital fiat. I'm invested in projects where their tokens are attached to a real product or service. Like a SWIFT replacement or the foundation of peer to peer transactions through social media platforms.
