Bitcoin price latest: Cryptocurrency plunges past $10,000, half of its previous value

Bitcoin is now worth less than $10,000, half its value just a few weeks ago. The price of the cryptocurrency – as well as others like ethereum and ripple – have been plunging in recent days amid fears that regulators could launch a crackdown on trading digital currencies. The latest fall began when South Korea's most senior financial politician said that the country was going to introduce stringent new regulations, and could even ban trading outright. That suggestion was followed by a similar one from China, which said it could also ban the sale of digital currencies. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.
