Best performing cryptocurrencies of week 6

If you’ve owned Bitcoin since 2014, then your net worth hasn’t been hard hit by the recent drop in crypto prices. On the other hand, if you invested in the coin in December or early January, then you must have taken a real hit. Bitcoin price is back down to where it was in November 2017. Still, $200 billion of evaporated wealth for Bitcoin and $67 billion for Ethereum cryptocurrencies must have hurt some people.
