The previous 24 hours have been impressive for the cryptocurrency market, which is seeing a broad-based rebound on numerous fronts.

Despite this development, as evidenced by a combined crypto market valuation increase of 3.4% to $880 billion as of Thursday, Solana’s newly minted canine-centered memecoin BONK has experienced a huge price decline relative to its competitors.

As of writing, BONK is trading at $0.000000968754, and down a whopping 66% in the last seven days, data by Coingecko show. In the last 24 hours alone, BONK has lost 1.6% of its value.

BONK Succumbs To Bearish Pressure

Despite its initial success, the memecoin BONK has had a difficult go of it in the weeks following its launch. The token, which appeared out of nowhere and quickly rose to rank among the top 200 cryptocurrencies in terms of market value, was hit hard by a significant bearish trend around Thursday afternoon.

It has significantly outpaced the market since the beginning of the year, on the heels of a retail buy-up that pitted the dog-themed cryptocurrency against existing meme coin heavyweights Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB).

There have been claims of wealthy investors purchasing millions, if not billions, of the viral coin BONK during the past few of weeks. Consequently, Thursday’s drop is a shock to investors with high aspirations for the cryptocurrency.

This week, BONK became the latest meme token to attract the attention of traders with a huge 3,300% increase. Following that, the developers of the cryptocurrency burnt their remaining tokens, which represented 5% of the whole BONK cryptocurrency supply.

Dogecoin Rival Leans On Solana Community’s Support

BONK was introduced on December 25, 2022, and its price has since increased by a four-digit proportion. Additionally, the token dominated social trading platforms. Analysts attributed the new token’s success to the Solana community.

The token’s value has been struggling to bounce back from its 66% loss in the face of continued negative growth rate, which caused it to give up some of the gains it made over the previous weeks.

When we zoom in on BONK’s growth during the past two weeks, we see that it has increased by almost 1,000% throughout this period.

All of these occurrences have created a frenzy about the Solana-based token. They also increase the optimism of token holders that the crypto will gain credibility and cease to be a fad.

Nevertheless, as a result of the recent negative outburst, the fully diluted market capitalization has decreased by 32.61% to $102 million, while the 24-hour trading volume of the altcoin has grown by a staggering 200% to $36 million.

This is direct evidence that a substantial number of SOL whales are selling their BONK assets in order to generate large profits.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that's not just a metaphor, it's a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.

Read more

Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).

Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling - right up his alley!

So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).

Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.

Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.

Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.

Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects.

So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
