Cryptocurrency's Plunge
Is Worse Than
the Dot-Com Crash Virtual currency's
recent downslide Many Cryptocurrency investors
put their money into alt-coins, a
secondary currency to Bitcoin,
and they are being hit the hardest. On Wednesday, Ether,
the second-largest virtual currency,
fell 6% to $171.15 at 7:50 a.m. in New York. Bitcoin was hardly affected, but the MVIS CryptoCompare
index fell 3.8%. CoinMarketCap.com reported
that the value of all virtual
currencies sank to $187 billion —
the lowest it's been in 10 months. Neil Wilson, chief market analyst for Markets.com,

the currency can rebound, and that it

global economy. Neil Wilson, chief market analyst for Markets.com,
