Bitcoin Sinks Below $6,000 as Almost Everything Crypto Tumbles (bloomberg.com)

Posted by msmash on from the market-speaks dept.

Several readers have shared a report: Bitcoin touched below $6,000 and dozens of smaller digital tokens including Ether retreated as this month's sell-off in cryptocurrencies showed few signs of letting up. The largest digital currency fell as much as 6.2 percent to $5,887, the lowest level since June, before paring some of the drop, according to Bloomberg composite pricing. Ether sank as much as 13 percent, while all but one of the 100 biggest cryptocurrencies tracked by Coinmarketcap.com recorded declines over the past 24 hours. The total market capitalization of virtual currencies dropped to $193 billion. Thatâ(TM)s down from a peak of about $835 billion in January.

    So we can have play-by-plays of the cryptocurrency market, which was always widely ridiculed here and is uninteresting to most,
    but when Alex Jones gets deplatformed, we can't talk about the implications for free speech in our society?

    Whatever you think about Alex Jones and his content is entirely beside the point. He's a clown, that's his job, everyone knows it.
    This was a test case by the big tech cabal for extensive censorship.
    This is the biggest issue in the world. Media regulation rules the world. This was by far the biggest story in tech in the last months.
    But NO MENTION?
    Not even an opportunity for the snarky crowd here to boost their wretched self esteem with a few pot shot comments? Usually they don't miss an opportunity.
    No, that would bring up the biggest issue in tech, the biggest issue in the world, that would be in YOUR interest, which Slashdot does not serve.

    Slashdot is part of the same big tech media cabal. It's a corrupt, biased, garbage rag. Make like 90%+ of it's all-time users and stop giving these bastards ad revenue with your clicks.
    By the way the moderation system is corrupt and they manually wipe karma and mod points for people they don't like. I've had several experiences with accounts where I never have a post go -1 and some how I have negative karma.
