because bitcoin prices dropped as a result no new rich people arrived suddenly. . . on the contrary, many people go bankrupt because they suffer losses ... haha haahaa
I am pretty sure that most well-off investors diversified their portfolio by investing into different mechanisms and not only on cryptocurrency alone. In fact, the fall on bitcoin's price is also an opportunity to most investors in acquiring bitcoin for either short/long-term goal.
I think they are bankrupt because they are very easy to panic and they have weak hands which means that they cannot hold their assets and maybe he is trading with money that is not managed properly so there are traders who go bankrupt like that.
What most investors fail to realize is the high volatility of cryptocurrencies, in general. The price may either skyrocket or plummet without any warning and it serves as a double-edged sword that is meant to be studied, researched, and observed by investors. There are factors needed to be considered in order to at least mitigate the damage when this typical scenario happens.
