Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies plunged on Friday as the market cools off following a huge rally this year.

This wiped out around $260 billion of value from the entire cryptocurrency market.

It was unclear what triggered the sell-off though cryptocurrencies are known for their wild price swings. "The market has run up quite a bit overall, and it's probably cooling off before the next leg up," Vijay Ayyar, head of business development at cryptocurrency exchange Luno, told CNBC by email.President Joe Biden is considering a hike in the capital gains tax"There has also been a wider stock market dip, which might be affecting all risk-on assets," Ayyar added.

Margin calls. Forced liquidation of overleveraged traders.

This is why I choose to trade in spice

Where did it go?

Bullish.

The most mainstream market adoption I have ever seen in Bitcoin history and people STILL doubt what it can do here. Sceptics leave the room, the adults will take over now.

People unnecessarily panic; why panic? What will be will be; it's still not going to stop anybody from trading cryptocurrencies is it? People still have to make a living, don't they? 'Get on with your day man & trade'! SAFEMOON SafeMoonCommunity CryptoNews

I want to buy Bitcoin during the dip. What’s the minimum I can invest? Can I buy via CashApp?

Not a plunge yet. $5 soon along with TSLA stock. That is a plunge.

People should learn to diversify their investment portfolio rather than stacking it all in one basket. These trends will always repeat themselves overtime

Watch how fast that money buys back the dip in the low 40’s 😂

BTFD

Speculation, wash-trade

CNBC should be sued for pumping bitcoin.

It was a scam anyway

I guess they weren't having fun becoming poor?

Don't worry, you can still buy a Tesla with a bitcoin.

Pengen ketawa tapi taku dosa

Crypto is very good investment to be in your portfolio but should be a part of your portfolio not all of it. Make sure to have funds and some equities. Not sure how to make good portfolio do connect with me

People holding BTC for years are happy right now. They just get 25% off from market price after hitting all time highs last week

All the “I really want a dip so I can buy” people are probably too scared to buy now.

Please send me bitcoin.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Let me know what it feels like to have this wonderful cryptocurrency 😭😭😭 bc1qx3j8qnar8ke4tf66xz4r4wvpqy67f3pu604ypw

Can i still buy a tesla wwith bitcoin? Will they even accept it?

If you can not win them, then join then! How true. Major banks/regulators all over the world are afraid of crypto revolution, and they don't get the idea that they can not win crypto in technology as well as wide spread adoption by the masses.

Y’all need to buy algorand and collect that 6% from coinbase

Still wondering why it will be difficult to accept BTC as an institutional currency? It is best described as an equity and not a currency.

All I see is black Friday pricing on Bitcoin and Altcoins. Remember, just like stocks, you only lose $ when you sell low.

Literally 6 hours ago trying to throw it on viewers.
