The past week has not been kind to blockchain entrepreneurs, whose holdings suffered the largest crypto liquidation in history last Friday, an event which wiped more than $380 billion off the market. During the short but heavy crash, the price of Bitcoin fell 15 percent, while the second-largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum, dropped some 21 percent. The alt-coin market all but collapsed, many of them falling as much as 80 percent, raising serious doubts about the future of the broader crypto ecosystem.
