Crypto’s are down: Now could be the time to get in!

If you’re currently invested in the cryptocurrency market, you are either feeling a little bruised at the fact that the market has experienced a downturn or you’re seeing an opportunity to enter the market at a significantly reduced price point.

To put things into perspective, major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Litecoin experienced a sharp year-to-date drawdown of 37% and 58% respectively. In monetary terms, Bitcoin went from its all-time high of R1 020 000 in November last year to a low of R420 000 this May.
