On days like today, don't even check the prices
The crypto markets are seeing red yet again, in a major way.
(Source: https://coinmarketcap.com/)
Bitcoin is down to around $7,200 with very few bounces in sight, which likely means that there is still lower prices yet to come.
This represents a drop of about 1.5%.
The altcoin market is taking things much harder.
With most coins down somewhere in the 5%-10% range.

Unfortunately for steem holders, it is near the top of that list down 11% currently.
The entire crypto market cap now sits just above $300 billion, the lowest it has been in some time.

The real kicker in all of this is that there really hasn't been one news event that is driving the weakness.
On the whole I would say the news has been a net positive over the past week or so, which makes the current decline all the more painful.
We have had several potential custody solutions come out, which should be one of the major hurdles into getting institional investors in the space.
Prices aren't really going up on positive news, but are going down significantly on negative news. Which leads me to believe that kind of price action likely indicates prices have not bottomed yet.
On days like today is a good idea not to check the prices, it will only get you down.
Go out and spend some time with family and friends and enjoy the holiday if you are here in the US.
There will be better days ahead.
The infrastructure continues to get better and strengthen while price continues to slide, that setup is a good one to be initiating a long position in.
Prices may not be ready to bounce back just yet in the next few days/weeks, but by the end of this year I would expect prices to be significantly higher.
Stay informed my friends.

Even Crypto needs a day off; resting up for a big rally this week 👍🤑👍
I expect the price of STEEM to be equal to the price of SBD. so easy to convert SBD to STEEM
Lol spent the day at the park fishing and then hit the grill.
Perfect way to spend the day. I am a big jealous about the fishing part... Catch anything?

It's for your informational post sir....
This post was very accurate because I've been depressed since yesterday constantly checking the market. I'll let it flow trusting there will be better days soon.
In days like today just buy....
That may turn out to be a wise move... I bought a good amount of BTC right under $8k, holding off on buying anything else for now.
An ideal day of relaxation in a natural environment, fishing is a good hobby.
I am hoping that the holiday weekend was the only reason for the drop in price. But this is rather disconcerting.
