Whether it be Bitcoin or Ethereum, every cryptocurrency has suffered massive losses over the past several days. Prices have dropped to as low as 64 percent, bringing the entire cryptocurrency market cap down to $70 billion from $110 billion.

Ethereum’s price has gone from $400 right down to $151 in about a month, leading investors to panic sell.

The market is normal for this kind of uncertainty. I am surprised btc is still around $2k. I think people are not as scared. It will show reality as the time ticking closer to the last minutes. After that Aug1 will be D day. Guaranteed, at the time all crypto manias will watch the show live. lol

i'll be buying more bitcoins just after the 1st of august. the market will rise, oh my god will it rise.

I feel like they will continue to tumble until BIP 148! But the weekends leading up to then will be the worst. I can see Bitcoin falling below 1600 USD at its worst

Um.....they are recovering today.

  1. ICOs hit ETH pricing hard
  2. People who are clueless about the technology sold their holdings for fiat "scared money"
  3. after a 3000% rise, correction is okay in that it shows an actual market
  4. we are in the beginnings of cryptos general acceptance.

Should i go on?
