“Experts are warning that cryptocurrencies have entered panic mode, which seems fitting given what’s been going on in the world’s major markets in recent days. after all the hyping of bitcoin, ethereum and the rest, there are now a lot of investors left in a very different position to the likes of the Winklevoss twins, who can afford to take the hit and get out of the crypto game at a loss.
