It’s time for pity for all those who invested in the most ruling Cryptocurrency on the planet earth which unfortunately has now become the most losing crypto ever. Yes, we’re talking about Bitcoin which has dropped to its lowest in more than two months.
Nowadays the bitcoin seems to be flying on a roller coaster which only goes down. The digital currency knock out to a low of $6,147.30, it’s lowest since mid-November, according to CoinDesk, while now as of writing it is trading at $6,222.

Yesterday the Cryptocurrency was fell more than 11%, as reported by CoinDesk, and currently it has further lost its value.
Now it seems like the prediction of the Wall Street’s veteran is appearing true, who said that it would be no shock if Bitcoin drops to $1,000.

The prediction that created a lot of upheaval in December last year, is also not the case which says “Bitcoin will pass Cryptocurrency crown to Ethereum in 2018” so now it’s really show time as a similar price drop has been seen across the market.
Bitcoin cash (BCH), Ripple (XRP) are down 14% each, while Ethereum’s ether (ETH) token has fallen out 13% in just last 24 hours.
Apart from some prediction the reason behind these price fell down is increased regulation and potential price manipulation in various markets, particularly the most recent statement by the Indian ministry was a major blow.
On the other hand, According to ProPakistani, recently FIA recommended the government of Pakistan to include definition and separate punishment of this emerging crime in order to avoid this electronic crimes act (PECA).
The official documents revealed.
“Bitcoin / digital currency is not recognized by State Bank of Pakistan as legitimate business and are causing huge monetary loss to the government exchequer. So it should be declared illegal with the inclusion of definition and distinct punishment of this emerging Crime”
Furthermore, FIA made these recommendations and quite a few other amendments to get better prevention of electronic crimes act (PECA)-2016.
It might be applied that there’s no law in place in Pakistan to deal with Bitcoin. While SBP declares the digital currencies illegal, but, there is no law in place to handle cases regarding to Bitcoin or any other digital currencies.
Although nothing could be said surely about the extremely unstable nature of Bitcoin, but one thing is clear that this severe drive to Bitcoin has dashed hopes for investors.
