<p>The largest cryptocurrency was down over 12% in the past day according to Coinbase and is down 62% year-to-date.</p>
<p>Unlike the stock market which trades primarily during business hours Monday thru Friday, Bitcoin trades round the clock, 365 days per year and is especially prone to declines on the weekend.</p>
