As we know, the cryptocurrency market is more unstable and vulnerable than any other. The costs of the most popular cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Ethereum, can change overnight, reaching new highs or dropping to surprising lows. The degree to which the market is vulnerable can be measured from the way that a tweet from Billionaire Elon Musk or an assertion from an industry expert is enough to impact the immediate costs. Over this past year, Bitcoin, the world’s most significant and most established cryptocurrency, saw an unprecedented boom. Other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Dogecoin, the popular meme-based cryptocurrency, have also gained massive support from Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.
According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin costs were trading at $43,446, down 1.5 percent while Ethereum broke its 5-day winning streak by dropping almost 5 percent to $2,947. On the flip side, Dogecoin dropped more than 6 percent to $0.24. Other cryptocurrencies like Cardano, XRP, Uniswap, Litecoin, and Stellar also dropped over 5 percent over the last 24 hours.
That said, of all the famous cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, specifically, has grown exponentially, reaching $64,000 in April, its highest ever. Here’s a look at how at how Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Ethereum have performed over the last couple of months:
