Reasons for Bearish Price
The losses have been attributed to social media bans on crypto, and assorted USA and other international regulatory gymnastics by organizations anxious to have a slice of the pie.

bitcoin and Capital Gains
The US IRS unbelievably mandates that traders who realize a capital gains with crypto will report such capital gains on their income tax. For example if you made money on BCH this may be a reportable capital gain.

However there is no corresponding investigative ability for capital gains on crypto addresses. bitcoin addresses are anonymous with no personal information associated with any bitcoin address. Personal information may be associated with exchange accounts. Offshore or international exchanges are outside of direct USA intercession, although reciprocal tax treaties may make personal information more accessible.

American Based Exchange Reports Traders to IRS
In mid March 2018 thirteen thousand crypto traders learned by email that their @Coinbase account records were to be placed in the hands of the USA Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Coinbase is an American based exchange. Learn more about crypto exchange jurisdiction.

In the government scramble to grab power and money, bitcoin has alternately been labelled a commodity, a property, a security, and indeed whatever appears to suit the fancy of the regulating agency. A cohesive crypto strategy is perhaps beyond the vision and capability of the USA national government.

Tracking Coins Difficult
Recently the NEM Foundation gave up the chase for $533 million in stolen $XEM. Tracking movements of the coins over time and addresses became increasingly difficult for even half a billion dollars.

Privacy coins such as DASH and Zcash further distance address holders.
