Bitcoin Jatuh Menjunam 2018

Bitcoin merosot ke tahap yang rendah untuk 2018, jatuh sejauh $ 8,449 di tengah kebimbangan mengenai peningkatan peraturan dan daya maju terbesar cryptocurrency. Mata wang maya telah kehilangan lebih daripada separuh nilainya sejak 18 Dis, ketika ia memuncak pada $19,511. Kejatuhan dalam bulan Januari mencecah $ 44.2 bilion daripada $ 200 bilion dalam nilai pasaran yang dihasilkan pada tahun lepas, kerugian terbesar dalam sebulan dalam dolar dalam sejarah aset digital yang singkat. Kebanyakan duit syiling maya hilang nilai pada bulan Januari, memandangkan pengawal selia A.S. meningkatkan pengawasan salah satu pertukaran mata wang digital terbesar di dunia. Cryptocurrency di China juga retak pada awal bulan ini.

KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 28): The FBM KLCI reversed its earlier losses and closed above the psychologically-crucial 1,500-level for the second day running on Wednesday, spurred by some late buying into select blue chips and PLANTATION counters.
