The value of Bitcoin has seen a lot of variations throughout the year. One of the most notable changes is the 1500% increase in value. Another reason for the constant variation is accredited to the on and off unavailability of exchange mediums, including the crash of Coinbase and Gemini at the end of November.
On the other hand, however, it has been revealed by CoinMarketCap.com that Bitcoin held 90% of the market share at the start of the year, which has fallen down to a meager 42%.
Bitcoin’s competitor, Ethereum, is also facing a similar downfall. Relative to June wherein the crypto held a 32% share of the market, its share has fallen by 19% to the 13% mark.
