The price of Bitcoin (BTC) has dropped substantially since Jan. 8, totalling a decline of more than $10,000 at time of publication.

As it stands, Bitcoin’s price has fallen more than $10,000 since Jan. 8. Healthy price corrections are generally part of market bull runs. With one such drop currently underway, Celsius’ CEO Alex Mashinsky thinks $16,000 could be in the cards.  “I have been predicting that Bitcoin and many altcoins will hit new all-time highs during 2021 and beyond,” Mashinsky told Cointelegraph. “Still, we will see several corrections, like what is going on today, that will allow savvy investors to accumulate these assets at a discount.” After Bitcoin […]
