Bitcoin's price is Behind Bedroom Doors (2003) Watch onlinetaking a dive again after news broke that South Korea plans to make it harder to trade cryptocurrencies anonymously.
The price of Bitcoin dropped to $14,081 Thursday morning, down roughly 16 percent from its $16,895 high on Wednesday. The most popular cryptocurrency has since recovered a bit and is currently trading at $14,686 with a $246 billion market cap.

Currently, many cryptocurrency exchanges (including South Korean ones like Kucoin) allow trading with little more than your name and an email. KYC (know your customer) info is typically only required for trading larger amounts of money.
South Korea also said it would pass new laws which would allow the country's regulators to shut down cryptocurrency exchanges altogether, if necessary.
“The government had warned several times that virtual coins cannot play a role as actual currency and could result in high losses due to excessive volatility,” the country's government said in a statement.
Cryptocurrency trading is very popular in Korea, and prices are often significantly higher there than in other markets -- an issue that the government also noted in its statement.
The news echoes China's move to shut down cryptocurrency exchanges in September. The price of Bitcoin retreated sharply following the news, but it later recovered and actually grew sixfold over the next couple of months.
