Bitcoin prices have been in a free fall and dropped to a low of $5,860 a week ago.
It meant it dipped below $6k for the very first time since October 2017. Cumulatively, BTC has lost 70% of its value in 2018 and the peak of $20k on December 17 is just but a stat now.
does not mean the bitcoin dies, because after all the bitcoin still has a high value compared to all other crypto. only the current market is more on the downward trend due to factors in the past. You need to know, what happened for now is not the first time.
