The first crypto currency continues one of the deepest price falls in its history. Today, on February 2, the weighted average bitcoin rate fell below $ 8500, which corresponds to the values of the end of November 2017.
The current capitalization of "digital gold" is $141 billion. The value of the dominance index is also relatively low - 35.9%.

Recall, at the end of last year, the price of bitcoin reached $ 19,000.
