Cryptocurrencies across the market are in the middle of a huge crash. All cryptocurrencies are falling due to a major selloff. Most have fallen more than 15 per cent over the morning, and the price of bitcoin has dropped below $12,000.Just days ago, bitcoin was marching towards $20,000. But just today it has fallen more than 15 % – taking it down almost 40 per cent over the last month, but still having risen more than 1,300 per cent over the year.
Bitcoin is the best performing of the various cryptocurrencies over the morning.
Ripple, the third largest cryptocurrency, had dropped by as much as 30 % amid major volatility.
Ethereum fell by more than 20%
This drop has occurred due to South Korea's officials announcing that they might look to impose new regulations on the currency. Finance minister Kim Dong-Yeon suggested that the country might ban trading in the currencies entirely, pending a government review. The government has said that the plans are only a suggestion and that more talks are needed. But another government minister said that trading could be banned last week, triggering another instant sell-off, and the plans have already led 200,000 people to petition the government asking to keep bitcoin trading legal.
I hope it goes down to 1000 so I can buy some more
mee too
Hyper optimism... :P
Very good post and charts. The regulations all over the world are tightening up even in the US they signed a tax law that could make all transactions of any coin a taxable event. I think the regimes all over the world will try there best to fight that. And Steem is so beautiful because the social media aspect is in the center of everything and not the Token.
Exactly all the power and money hungry bankers and politicians are opposing decentralization movement which has began but I think blockchain is here to stay its not gonna fade away...
And steemit is the best.. :D :D

Thanks... :D
