Bitcoin, the world's most popular virtual currency, has fallen significantly in price recently. Reports show that the price is hovering around $300, which is a 20 percent drop from just days ago, as it was getting close to $400 on Wednesday.
The New York Times reports that it is not surprising the currency is suddenly down, as its price has fluctuated a lot since it was created in 2009. The price for one Bitcoin at the end of last year reached well over $1,000 for periods of time.
