Bitcoin dropping to $30,000 last week was a nightmare to so many investors before recovering slightly.
In the process, it lost nearly half of its total value, bankrupting many of those who invested in it and other cryptocurrencies.
Crypto Crash: Investors loss more than $830 billion last week

Other coins also followed suit, crashing as much as 63 percent in the last seven days. In essence, investors loss more than $830 billion in the blowout last week. The total market cap of all cryptocurrencies stands at $1.49 trillion as of now.

Many trades over the world faced problems due to heightened volumes and sell orders. These included Binance, WazirX (owned by Binance), Voyager and Coinbase, and many others.

Tether Reveals $82 Billion Reserves Amid Crash Reports

There were two major reasons behind the sudden crash. The first was the vehicle maker Tesla’s sudden decision to stop car purchases using Bitcoins, a measure they announced a couple of months back.

The company cited environmental concerns over the computational ‘mining’ process behind its move. Mining basically refers to the process in which computers solve complex mathematical puzzles to enable transactions using Bitcoins and in return generate more Bitcoins. This is a high energy intensive process, requiring electricity often produced by burning coal.

Bitcoin enthusiasts had hoped for its wider adoption as a currency after Tesla’s decision in March. But, the recent U-turn dashed those hopes. Besides, Tesla has also trimmed its Bitcoin investments, as per its latest quarterly report.

Another reason behind the sell-off has been China’s crackdown on mining rigs across the country. China reiterated a warning last week that it intends to crack down on cryptocurrency mining as part of an effort to control financial risks.

According to some estimates, China is home to the largest concentration of world’s crypto miners. This results in high electricity consumption for a country which has been dealing with severe pollution.

Earlier in the week, Chinese authorities warned that financial institutions weren’t allowed to accept it for payment, curtailing hopes further.

Musk effect
Many investors and analysts have also blamed mercurial technocrat Elon Musk for the massive volatility in crypto assets. His tweets, sometimes in support and other times criticising the assets, are seen to have an immediate bearing on price movements.

Musk has been a fervent supporter of Bitcoin and Dogecoin (which actually started as an internet meme and has no fundamental basis like Bitcoin), but have also termed the mania around cryptocurrencies a “hustle”.

Many of Musk’s followers last week blamed him for their losses. In fact, some Twitter users claimed they became homeless after Dogecoin prices crashed following Musk’s advice.

As per the latest data, Bitcoin traded at $35,665, down 27 per cent in the last seven days. Ethereum was at $2,124 (down 45 per cent), Cardano $1.35 (down 43 per cent), Binance Coin at $269 (down 55 per cent), Dogecoin at $0.32 (down 40 per cent) and XRP at $0.84 (down 46 per cent).

In the last 24 hours, cryptocurrencies have slightly regained their value but no one can predict the market in the coming days. Volatility has been a characteristic property of the crypto assets and it will likely move in a wide range in the future as well, many commentators believe.
