Just like any other︆ asset, it depends on when you buy it and when you sell it. Right now,︇ the biggest collapse among major asset classes is in Bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies. The︈ price of Bitcoin has fallen over 55% since last November, when Bitcoin peaked at around︉ $69,000.
Now, 40% of all Bitcoin investors are underwater on their holdings. If the trend︊ continues, many of those buyers will eventually capitulate. Speculators can only take so much pain.︋ So much for Bitcoin being the new inflation hedge -- or "the only asset that︌ will preserve its value over time."
And the damage is not limited to Bitcoin. Huge︍ losses have occureed in other popular crypto currencies such as Ethereum (down 57% over the︎ same period), Ripple, Solana, and others.
Still, none of those crypto collapses was the most️ spectacular. Luna fell from $116.84 on April 5th to $0.0062 on May 16th, an astounding 99.9% crash in less than six weeks. That’s not just a crash, it is a complete wipe-out. It just shows you how crazy speculative manias can become, completely unhinged from all reality.
