Bitcoin Diamond.
At some point, people were giving an incredible $105 for 1 BCD coin, but today the price is $2.19. This is a 98% fall.
Bitcoin Gold.
Straight after the fork, the price of this crypto was $505. Later, the price fell to around $100, did a dead cat bounce and landed again at $44.
Einsteinium.
The price of this shitcoin went down from $2.83 to $0.11 in just 101 days. Experts claim the team are the ones to blame.
Siacoin.
The first Antminer A3s which worked with Siacoin were breaking even in 5 days. That's when Siacoin was bringing in $520 in a day. Today, the situation is bleak as the price of the coin fell 90% in the space of 83 days.
NEM.
NEM was a bit unlucky because of the hackers. After Coincheck exchange was hacked the price collapsed down to 22 cents. This is 89% down from the peaks of $2.09.
Cardano.
Cardano became a classic example of a pump. In January people were paying $1.28 for 1 coin, but now you can barely sell it for $0.15.
Verge.
Some people made quite a lot of money on Verge, but some lost quite a lot. $0.23 at the end of December vs. $0.03 in the last day of March.
Bytecoin.
If you've never heard of Bytecoin consider yourself lucky. It's 88% down.
Digibyte.
Same as Digibyte which is down 88% in the last 82 days.
Ripple.
Ripple was the reason for many tears. $3.68 at the start of January vs. the current price of $0.49. A lot of people are hoping for the upwards movement on this one.
