Fall in Bitcoin prices

Before the dip of February, Bitcoin is reported to steep down in the month of November 2017. In spite the threats from the various firm, Cryptocurrencies still kept on blooming in the market.

Mati Greenspam, a Senior Market Analyst at eTero asserted that the move was less correlated to recent fears of a global trade war and more associated with traders evaluating the assets in their portfolio and trying to assign the value to them. Further, He added that “I think that there is a big connection in the way that people are managing their portfolios and the cryptocurrencies have been increasingly correlated with the stock markets especially in the last few weeks”. Charles Hayter, chief executive of CryptoCompare, stated that investors were likely fleeing to safer investments as protectionism concerns took hold. “In the grand scheme of things, cryptos lie on the extremely risky end of the spectrum and are for times of hot money,”
