Bitcoin fell sharply overnight after Donald Trump’s promise of 15 per cent global tariffs sparked uncertainty.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency fell as much as 4.8 per cent to $64,300. Other digital assets were worse hit, with second-largest token Ether down 5.2 per cent.

It was higher than $96,000 just one month ago.

A lot of uncertainty surrounds Bitcoin at the moment. It’s unsurprising it has big moves though considering it’s largely more of a trading product so any moves are likely to be amplified as a fall can trigger stop losses leading to self perpetuating momentum

People don’t invest in Bitcoin, they bet on it like the dogs. Fundamentals don’t change the price of Bitcoin, momentum from buyers or sellers does. Uncertainty used to be talked about as a positive to Bitcoin, but this decline proves that theory wrong. If you have the stomach for it, Bitcoin might make you rich; but you also might lose all your money.
