Cryptocurrency has been touted as the currency for the future and many people have been investing in this digital money. As of now, there are thousands of cryptos globally. However, only a few of these are popular globally. As lucrative as a crypto investment can appear, it is very risky like every other investment. In fact, it is one of the riskiest investments that one can make if there is no proper understanding of how the market works.
There is currently a huge scare in the crypto market as digital currency prices seem to be falling across board. The current drop in cryptocurrency prices is quite unique. It is not a drop limited to Bitcoin or any other popular digital currency. All these currencies appear to be dropping in price simultaneously. Although there are usually some intermediate rises within the day, the closing price is usually lower than the starting price.
