Ouch That Hurts!
Well every market has taken a turn for the worst!
But when you look at it just a month ago bitcoin is only down 40% which is pretty much in correction zone. Plus some scary news and we go into a bit of a sell off we might be at the end of such a sell off right now.
One Month Correction time
One Day Correction time
Might be time to load up on some coins.
the rate at which the price is getting down is overwhelming but one thing i know is that when it will pick up again, it will also be drastic like this
As fast as they are coming down there have been days where its gone up just as much that is one thing to consider
It's already correcting. It went down to about 9,000$ and then back up to 10,000$ within like 20 minutes. Like I keep saying, it's nothing to worry about (just the market being volatile like always).
Bitcoin is dying and its dragging the entire market down with it. The markets are literally joined at the hip with BTC, and when BTC falls because people have realized how slow and unreliable it is, the larger market ( the new money, people who have been in the game for less than 5 months) panics as they believe that bitcoin IS the market, and if bitcoin fails, then everything else does. This is part of the issue when people like Warren Buffett go on record saying that "Bitcoin is a bubble and will burst" That part is true, for the most part, not many people are willing to pay $36 for a transaction, especially one that takes an hour or more to confirm, and even more so when the developers make little attempt to fix the BTC network -
But when everyday people hear things like this is causes a massive amount of irrational fear...coupled with news from South Korea which was false, as well as news from traditional outlets that claim the market and Bitcoin are constantly dying. We risk going into a free fall in prices within the next few weeks if people don't stop spreading false information. The market dropped by 30% just on false news and an assumption that Korea MIGHT POSSIBLY COULD BE MAYBE be banned from the markets. What would happen if over a 3 day period Fox News and CNN falsely reported that "Bitcoin" was going to be banned in the US, without any proper sources to back it up? The market would implode all based on a rumour. This is why its VERY important to not follow false channels, or people looking to hype coins, its causing the market to expand in a direction that it shouldnt be going, which is the hype, pump, dump and the market is burning scenarios. This has a lasting effect on the human mind, and we'll pay for it eventually.
Agreed and the fact this market is unregulated, until it becomes regulated market manipulators/ whales will ALWAYS manipulate it heavily. Wealthy people do not pass up opportunities to manipulate financial markets, especially not ones with no regulations. I actually want regulations because although I can buy cheap solid cryptos now, it does get boring seeing the market lose 50% after it went upwards massively.
It hurt real bad. Really hurting.
Great post
