Bitcoin Is Crashing. Will It Ever Recover?

On Wednesday, Bitcoin sold off. Over the past ten days, the number one crypto began to decrease in price dramatically. Industry specialists and investors are discussing this issue.

On CoinDesk, the prices of bitcoin were changing around $38,732,57. It is a remarkable change since it touched the lowest in the season that was $30,201.97, before increasing again.

Ether prices on the blockchain were 23% at $2,608.85 after touching 1,902.09, and dogecoin was around 26%, changing at 35.9 cents.

When bitcoin changes, the rest of the crypto changes because the dominant asset has become a very important player in the industry.

According to CoinMarketCap.com, markets of crypto shaved more than $855 billion from combined market value.

The stock market also experienced actual selling on the day, which was diminished by the closing bell. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 index suffered losses on the third day in a row.

Bitcoin is decreasing, but it represents an asset that is known for volatile periods.

Meanwhile, people also blamed Elon Musk, a crypto enthusiast, for tanking the crypto industry with his tweets. Earlier this month, Musk announced that he would no longer allow bitcoin as a payment method for purchasing its cars.

Musk played one of the critical roles in the crypto industry. His tweets about bitcoin and dogecoin supported an uptrend.
