Fake news about Vitalik Buterin's death, sends ETH crashing!!

Tensions are high.

Successful ICO startups and speculative punters are sitting on mountains of ETH. ETH's meteoric rise has pushed resistance levels to the max!

Between talks of bubble mechanics, network issues and ICO startups surely about to not meet expectations, nobody expected the final nail in the coffin that sent ETH six feet under the ground...

The founder and king of Ethereum was reported to have died!

The speculative crypto-masses were sent running upon hearing the news that their golden child had met his maker. Of course, coinbase went down as usual and panic spread across the entire crypto sphere!

As you'll probably cringe to see, all of the top ten cryptocurrencies took an absolute battering!

But then Buterin came back with the perfect blockchain charged repost. Proof-of-Life...

A quirky response.

But it doesn't quell the doubts that Ethereum might just be a little too Vitalik-centric... A clear Achilles heal in a work of decentralised systems.

As far as the markets are concerned, the cascades are certainly still in motion and where the bottom of this pit is... We'll have to wait and see.
