The price of major cryptocurrencies plunged on Thursday with nearly $13 billion of value being wiped out in a matter of hours. At around 10:23 a.m. HK/SIN, bitcoin had fallen nearly 5 percent to $6,303, while XRP and ethereum both tanked over 10 percent, according to data from Coinmarketcap.com. It's not unusual to see bitcoin lead other digital tokens lower. In just three hours, nearly $13 billion of value had been erased from the entire cryptocurrency market. The drop comes amid fresh warnings from financial authorities about the rapid growth of digital coins and the potential threat to the economy. "Continued rapid growth of crypto assets could create new vulnerabilities in the international financial system," the International Monetary Fund said in a recent report.

Many cryptocurrency enthusiasts hoped 2018 would be a year that regulators warmed up to the idea of professionalizing the trading of digital assets through new financial products like exchange-traded funds. But the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has rejected several ETFs including a highly anticipated one planned by the Winklevoss twins. Other countries, including China, have come down hard on cryptocurrencies. At the same time, the year has been marked by high-profile hacks on cryptocurrency exchanges as well as a number of scams tied to people carrying out so-called initial coin offerings. All of those factors have meant that bitcoin, XRP and ethereum have not recovered to the record highs seen toward the end of 2017 and beginning of this year. On Thursday, bitcoin was more than 68 percent off of its record high of $19,783.21, which it hit on Dec. 17 of last year.

With these crypto investors losing a lot of money at least GPU prices are dropping that is the good thing to come from this crash.


If they keep going down, I'm stocking up this time. I've made the mistake several times of not doing so.

Not on a "invest my whole life savings into it" scale, but I'll chuck a few hundred into it.

GPU prices have already normalized, cryptos tanking more aren't going to lower them.

So those people that pulled out last year were geniuses? They made out like bandits. I remember bitcoin being like 19,000 then.

Neither does the stock market. There is absolutely nothing tangible when buying stock in a company.
