Current Bitcoin Price: $4510 (as of 9:00 AM PST)

The cryptocurrency market is continuing to bleed away value, but at a much slower pace than earlier this week. Bitcoin is down a further 0.8% while XRP and Ethereum are down 1.2% and 2.6% respectively. Among the top-10, Bitcoin Cash is suffering the worst damage — as it’s down almost 8% — perhaps in light of its current hashwar.

It’s only outside the top-10 that a few cryptocurrencies aren’t down by 2-4%. These include IOTA, NEM, Tezos, and Dogecoin, but of course none of these coins are making serious upside progress.
