After several short-lived drops under $10,roblox sex videos000, it looks like the price of Bitcoin finally yielded under pressure. The largest cryptocurrency by market cap is currently trading at $8,947, down 11 percent in the last 24 hours according to CoinMarketCap.
The trigger for the price drop is likely the news from India, where finance minister Arun Jaitley expressed a largely negative view towards cryptocurrencies in his 2018 budget speech.
SEE ALSO: A little-known token may be fueling Bitcoin's rise. Critics say it's a scam.“The Government does not consider cryptocurrencies legal tender or coin and will take all measures to eliminate use of these crypto-assets in financing illegitimate activities or as part of the payment system,” Jaitley said according to Fortune.
Several outlets, including Fortune and Quartz, interpreted this as a country-wide ban on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. However, that's impossible to deduct from this single quote, which merely states that the government is against two things: crypto-assets financing illegal activities, and crypto assets being used as part of the payment system.
In other words, Bitcoin won't soon become legal tender in India, but there's nothing here about an outright ban.
In fact, according to several outlets, Jaitley actually uttered a couple of positive words about cryptocurrencies in that same speech. According to Hindustan Times, he said the government "will explore the use of blockchain," and Unocoin, a crypto exchange based in India, has an expanded version of that quote, in which Jaitley says the government will look into blockchain tech "proactively for ushering in digital economy."

The South Korean government recently introduced more stringent cryptocurrency trading rules, but stopped short of any sort of cryptocurrency ban. Like most governments, the Indian government does not appear to be happy with illegal use of cryptocurrencies, but we'll have to wait for an official policy to draw any finial conclusions.
Nevertheless, the markets reacted strongly. Top ten cryptocurrencies by market cap have all dropped double digits in the last 24 hours, with one notable exception: Ethereum. The cryptocurrency that's also a platform for decentralized apps is currently trading at $1,133 and is actually up by 1.78 percent in the last 24 hours.
