crypto winter
In the context of the global economic crisis, with unprecedented inflation rates in the United States and Europe, and a war between Russia and Ukraine that no one knows when -or how- it will end, cryptocurrencies are experiencing one of their worst moments and In a report entitled ” Crypto winter: keys to understanding the fall of cryptocurrencies worldwide” , the BBC journalist Cecilia Barría explains that this abrupt fall came just after the best historical moment in the crypto world. In just five years, a bitcoin went from being worth $1,000 to $68,000.
The journalist points out that it is determined with a “quite basic” rule, supply and demand. “When more people want to buy, the price goes up. And when nobody is interested, the price goes down, ”she summarizes. But she clarifies that it is not the same as on Wall Street. “Cryptocurrencies are not shares of a company. They are, as you already know, digital money, and that means that nobody regulates them, no authority issues them and, of course, there are no banks that keep them. So, how they move without any control, the ups and downs are frantic ”, Barría specifies in the report.
The term crypto winter or crypto crash was coined in the first big crash of cryptocurrencies, which occurred just before the last boom, in which bitcoin touched US$69,000, in November 2021.
