Cryptocurrency markets are experiencing a “black Monday”. There are huge decreases in all cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin. The total volume of the markets has decreased to half of what it was a few months ago. Let’s take a closer look at the drop that has taken root for crypto money investors.
As a matter of fact, the cryptocurrency markets have been shaky for a while. Bitcoin, which was in a bumpy process, was also crushing altcoins.
