Cryptocurrency Wipeout Deepens To $640 Billion As Ether Leads Declines (bloomberg.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Bloomberg: The cryptocurrency bear market plumbed a fresh 10-month low on Monday as Bitcoin's biggest rival tumbled and U.S. regulators suspended trading in two securities linked to digital assets. Ether, the second-largest virtual currency, slumped 11 percent from its level at 5 p.m. New York time on Friday, according to Bloomberg composite pricing. Bitcoin declined 2.4 percent, while the market capitalization of digital assets tracked by CoinMarketCap.com shrank to about $197 billion -- down almost $640 billion from its January peak. Cryptocurrencies have declined for five of the past six weeks amid concern that a broader adoption of digital assets will take longer than some had anticipated. That worry was underscored over the weekend after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission temporarily suspended trading in two exchange-traded notes linked to cryptocurrencies and Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin told Bloomberg that the days of explosive growth in the blockchain industry have likely come and gone.

You are welcome on my lawn.
Found the person who mortgaged his house to buy BCs.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
No you didn't. You found a person who has been using crypto for years, makes six figures, has had multiple successful businesses, and
- yet remains an anonymous coward with zero credibility.
