After the China announcement on ICO ban, Bitcoin along with few other leading alt-coins dropped in value. That’s made the overall market cap of coins down to 150B$. After a bit of recovery in price, Bitcoin is currently trading at 4548$ and Marketcap is 160B$. Now there’s a lot of speculation among the media, with some people going to the extent of saying that this could be the end of Cryptocurrency.
It would be hard to deny that the ICO ban has impacted the value of cryptocurrency and it has mainly affected day trading and short term trading pretty badly. However, to go as far as saying that this is the beginning of the end of Crypto is a stretch.
