Bitcoin price has been fallen a lot since last 2 weeks. From $17,000 to $8,000 its about 50% fall within 2 weeks. Croyptocurrencies have higher movements and includes risk of losing. Trading is not a good idea with Croypto-Currencies if you have a tight budget. But for wallets you don't lose the coins. We have seen this kind of fall before too and market jumps up more than it falls.
The same thing might also happen its just confusing us by some rumors , I suggest to hold coins and wait to see what really happens.
Today's Rate: 1 BTC = $8590.09
