On Friday, crypto trading enthusiasts were a bit disappointed when bitcoin price fell below $6,000. Surprisingly, bitcoin bounced back on Monday as it was priced around $6,200. This development has boosted the confidence of crypto investors who hope that the digital coin price will keep increasing in value.
However, Spencer Bogart, a blockchain venture capitalist is of the opinion that bitcoin may fall again. According to Bogart, about 300 crypto hedge funds were formed back in the summer of 2017 when the crypto market was booming, and prices were high. Fast forward to 2018, a lot of these crypto hedge funds have completed their one year cycle, and the price of many of them have gone down by more than 50%.

Bitcoin which was priced at around $19,500 last December dropped in price by nearly 70% on Friday, making it one among many other cryptocurrencies to reach an all-time low. Ripple, litecoin, ethereum and bitcoin cash are also down for the year.
