Bitcoin drops below $4000 as Chinese regulatory measures depress the price. Bitcoin is down -2.28% in 24 hours, down -15.16% on the week and down -2.32% on the month on a last price of $3967.36.
On September 01 on OKCoin bitcoin reached an all time high (ATH) of $5149.96. It’s been all downtrend since. The ATH resulted in profit taking which sent the price sharply lower.
Compounding the price descent was ambiguous reporting of the Chinese announcement to introduce regulatory controls for bitcoin and in particular ICO’s. In social media this was quickly misconstrued and erroneously reported as a ban on bitcoin exchanges. This led Chinese officials to make a second statement saying the action was to “pause” ICO’s, not to ban them.
While misreporting accounts for much of the price depression other factors also impacted the price of bitcoin.
In mainstream US finance a well known American banker was reported to have said bitcoin was “fraud”:

While markets lost value as investor confidence was eroded, bitcoin users pushed back:
jamie dimon just called Bitcoin a fraud, hmm…its almost as if Bitcoin made predatory home loans then got a bailout and never went to jail
