Bitcoin plunges 18% to hit 14-month low amid bearish sentiment
Bitcoin prices plunged sharply to hit the lowest level in more than a year on Tuesday, as investors fled towards the exits amid bearish chart signals.
Bitcoin (BTC/USD) tumbled $46.93, or 17.33%, to trade at $223.90 on Slovenia-based BitStamp during U.S. morning hours, after hitting a session low of $216.00, a level not seen since November 2013.
Hackers stole nearly 19,000 bitcoins valued at approximately $5 million from BitStamp last week. The exchange reopened on Friday, January 9, after suspending services in wake of the theft on January 5.
The price of a bitcoin on Bulgaria-based BTC-e plunged $39.19, or 14.77%, to trade at $226.08, while prices on Singapore-based itBit dropped $38.34, or 14.34%, to trade at $228.99.
According to the CoinDesk Bitcoin Price Index, which averages prices from the major exchanges, prices of the crypto-currency lost $39.38, or 14.75%, to trade at $227.70.
Meanwhile, euro-denominated Bitcoin prices (BTC/EUR) sank €25.51, or 11.24%, to trade at €201.37 on U.S.-based Kraken Exchange.
Elsewhere, yuan-denominated Bitcoin prices on Shanghai-based BTC China slumped 229.99 yuan, or 13.9%, to trade at 1,425.00 yuan, while prices on Beijing-based OKCoin fell 247.64 yuan, or 14.8%, to trade at 1,426.00 yuan.
Bitcoin is digital cash and is not backed by a government or central bank to regulate or issue it. It can be used to purchase goods and services from stores and online retailers.
Bitcoin’s market cap has been on a steady decline in recent months, even as the virtual currency has been getting more popular with merchants and retailers, including PayPal, Expedia, Overstock.com and Dell.

One big reason Bitcoin is going nowhere
Fusion's Felix Salmon delves into the seedy underbelly of the Bitcoin world and comes up with the real problem with cryptocurrency: the community is 96% men.
Here's Salmon:
Bitcoin, at its core, is an attempt to solve big socioeconomic problems through technology. But so long as it remains an overwhelmingly male domain, it’s going to continue to concentrate on the economic problems, while missing the big social problems. Which means that it’s going to continue going nowhere.
It's hard to have a currency that leaves out 50% of the population.
