After the criticism of the US President Donald Trump, Bitcoin fell rapidly at the start of the week. According to the statistics of CoinDesk, the most valuable digital currency of the world dropped almost 10% to $10,175. It momentarily dived less than $10,000, dropping as low as about $9,872.
The downward move’s reason was not apparent at this time. However, it down slightly when Trump said previous week that he was not a follower of Bitcoin and other digital currencies which are not money because their worth is highly unstable and built on thin air.

The US president was also not in favor of the plans of Facebook to launch a cryptocurrency, named Libra. Libra will attach to government-backed currencies’ basket and assets to keep a stable value. Furthermore, Trump said that if Facebook wants to become a bank, then it should apply for the license of banking.

He expressed positive because digital currencies, including bitcoin, are present now in the main stage.
