Cryptocurrency enthusiasts who sought the prediction of Bitcoin in August 2022 may have been disappointed after starting the eighth month at $23,336.72 and closing at $20,049.76.
But August isn’t the only disappointing month for BTC. Prices of other coins have not been impressive, anyways because Bitcoin has always set the pace in the crypto sector. A fall in the price of the BTC spells doom for other coins.
For instance, there was a never-before boom in the cryptocurrency market in November 2021 when Bitcoin reached its All-Time High of $68,990.90.
When the bubble busted, Ethereum (ETH), Cardano, Solana, and other coins crumbled leading to nearly trillions of dollars being wiped off of the crypto market.
