The price of bitcoin Fallen below $ 90,000 and other cryptocurrencies saw large decreases on Tuesday morning, erasing some of the gains that digital assets have done since President Donald Trump took office in a Pro-Crypto program.
Bitcoin, the most popular cryptocurrency in the world, was negotiated at around $ 89,000 at the opening of the US stock market. It is down compared to around $ 106,000, which was the price around the inauguration of Trump. The drop in bitcoin and other cryptographic assets accelerated after a report showed a greater drop than expected from consumer confidence for this month.
Cryptocurrency is very volatile and prices can change quickly. Even with Tuesday’s decline, Bitcoin has always been up since Trump won last year’s elections. Supporters said the price reductions are a good investment opportunity.

But a tall hack of a great exchange of cryptocurrency – one of the biggest flights of all time – and a major scandal involving the president of Argentina and a piece of memes have highlighted some of the vulnerabilities in a relatively still industry emerging.

The coins are a very speculative form of cryptocurrency which are mainly struck like jokes and have no intrinsic value but can sometimes go up as a price.
One of the crypto developers involved in the scale said coins are essentially a rigged game that benefits a small group of people at the expense of retail investors in a recent interview with an independent journalist.
This developer, Hayden Davis, also revealed that he was involved in the launch of the same corner of First Lady Melania Trump just before the start of her husband. The Melania same corner was negotiated at around 90 cents on Tuesday, down more than $ 13 when it was launched. The president also helped launch a piece of memes just before taking up his duties which has experienced a similar price trajectory.
