Sod bad, is there any assurance that crypto will soon bounce back. The falling is so sharp, couples the restrictions and band from China and America. Thanks
Crypto bearish market is more than what you think ….. There is more to it
Nobody got wrecked as most Bitcoin investors are hodling long term except for the hit-and-run chicken-liver fellas looking for quick cash. Your headline is misleading and stupid. Go write about children’s play and leave investment issues to those who know the business. I’m sure when it hits $100k someday, you’ll still just be “writing”…. writing crap.
Sir, you’re right, except for the offensive words on the writer. That was too hash please.
Will bitcoin still get up to 60000 this year
