The value of cryptocurrencies fluctuates wildly. Even the most widely used cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin and Ether, are subject to highly unpredictable price swings. This is due to the lack of intrinsic value in these assets. Instead, how much consumers are willing to pay for them determines their price action. Therefore, a cryptocurrency’s price might alter depending on the level of buzz, excitement, or fear around it. Tweets with only 280 characters can significantly impact prices, making or breaking investors in a matter of seconds. Although it may be difficult to believe, this has happened more than once in recent years.
