So what happened exactly and why did Bitcoin drop in value?
The lack of certainty about the Chinese banning exchanges has led to more traders selling off (dumping) Bitcoin for fiat currencies. China currently has the largest Bitcoin trading volume as they do most of the mining.
A large amount of bankers have criticized Bitcoin, saying it has "no value" which led to a negative view of Bitcoin from the general public.
Ironically fiat currency also has no value, on contrary these are debt notes and coins backed by NOTHING but they won't mention that when they attacking their competitor (BTC).
Chase bank CEO called Bitcoin a "fraud" which led to a lot of negative coverage on the news and having a impact on the price.
Seems the banks feel threatened by cryptocurrencies because they cannot control it so this is a classic example of how competition behaves and tries to drag down their opponent.
The slide will most likely continue until China officially announces it's next moves.
Regardless of this negativity, Blockchain is arguably the technology of the future and when the dust settles again things should go back to normal and the price will gradually rise again. This is never certain as crypto is still considered very volatile but one has to consider the market that has emerged and will continue to support trades.
Perhaps this is again a good time to invest into Bitcoin before it climbs back up the chart.
