According to the report of the editor of World Chain Finance, Bitcoin, as the most prominent currency among virtual currencies, has attracted the attention of many netizens. Since the beginning of this year, the legend of Bitcoin has come to an end. The falling price has made this virtual currency a currency that many people despise. It is worth noting that CNMO learned that the drop in Bitcoin prices may continue.
Is it not enough for Bitcoin to fall 70% this year?
It is understood that Standard Chartered Bank recently predicted that the price of Bitcoin will plummet to about 5000 dollars next year. At present, the quotation in this currency is USD 17073 (about RMB 119000). In other words, if the forecast is correct, the currency price will fall by about 70%, which is not surprising. It is worth noting that this is not the only institution that predicts that Bitcoin will fall in price.
Previously, Macbeth believed that Bitcoin could plummet again by 40% to 10000 US dollars at the current price level; Charlie Munger even criticized the cryptocurrency "kidnapper" favorable currency. In fact, it is not surprising that Bitcoin continues to fall in price.
Since the beginning of this year, a series of projects and companies in the currency circle have been closed, and the head exchange FTX crisis has also brought down the entire currency circle. The death of the currency circle also casts more dust on the virtual currency. In addition, many countries do not recognize the legitimacy of virtual currency and have taken a series of repressive measures against it. It is estimated that the brutal growth of virtual currency has ended.
