Zcash on 50 Percent Weekly Spike
Apparently, the entire cryptocurrency market is flashing red as this month’s third week comes to a close. The total market capitalization has significantly dropped to 14.48 percent, which is basically $366 billion in the last 7 days. This only means that the month-to–date losses are close to at least 30 percent.
Larger digital assets such as bitcoin cash and EOS, among others, are reportedly hitting 14 percent decline. Ether, on the other hand, has hugely remained flat-lined on a weekly basis. Still, there is a probability that the cryptocurrency market will regain glory in the next weeks to come.

Cryptocurrency as Political Campaign Resource Proposed in Colorado
It is very likely for political candidates to accept and utilize Bitcoin and other digital assets for their upcoming campaigns. It was after Secretary of State Wayne Williams created a proposal for allowing donations of cryptocurrencies in any political campaign. Interestingly, the US Federal Election Commission (FEC) has already green-lighted the acceptance of crypto in said donations.
Ultimately, this gives the campaign at least 10 days to transfer the donated digital asset into their respective campaign’s official depository. Donations in the digital asset will be treated as cash donations, with the value being determined at the moment of donation. Colorado, in particular, is poised to follow the FEC’s designation of crytocurrency, which it deems an “in-kind donation.”

It appears that a falling bitcoin only results in companies becoming warier in hiring new stuff until things showcase improvement.
It holds true, however, that job markets tend to respond to the current economic mood. Take for example the banking sector: It is becoming more prone to either layoffs and restructuring whenever quarterly and yearly profits become unhealthy. Although a few people really mind such thing, there is no doubt that there is a clear link between available jobs and current prices.
