The collapse is the latest in a year of falling prices for the world's most valuable cryptocurrency, having traded close to $20,000 in December 2017.
Ethereum, ripple and bitcoin cash have all been hit by the latest price falls, as the notoriously volatile cryptocurrency market continues to fall to new 2018 lows.
