News: Bitcoin experienced a significant downturn today, falling below $9,000 to a 3.5-week low, driven by concerns over global regulatory crackdowns and reports of cryptocurrency thefts. The ongoing sell-off by the Mt. Gox trustee is also exerting considerable downward pressure on liquidity and price. Statements from China's PBOC governor reinforcing the non-legitimate status of Bitcoin as a payment method further contributed to the bearish sentiment. While some positive developments like Square Cash adding ACH deposits are noted, they are overshadowed by the prevailing negative market conditions.
