Bitcoin went on a caffeine crash worse than your Monday morning, tumbling from a record $126,000 in early October to a bruised $81,919 by the Friday after Halloween. This isn’t your regular crypto cough, it’s a full-on bloodbath wiping nearly $400 billion from the global crypto market, shriveling the party-sized $3 trillion valuation. Bob Elliott, clubhouse CEO of Unlimited Funds, did the math and noted stocks are whining, but bitcoin’s meltdown is like stocks on steroids—except steroids that make you cry. The worst monthly wipeout since the infamous June 2022 'catastrophic period' is here, and everyone’s watching where the panic button stops.
