It's time for Bitcoin to be swept aside in favor of a newer, better solution.....Bitcoin Cash!

I just posted a rant about Bitpay not working with Exodus wallets. Basically, I have to transfer my BTC from Exodus to Electrum ($50 cost) before I can send it out over the BitPay network (yet another transaction fee).

I hope BCH stomps the SH#*# out of BTC for that reason alone!

This is more a correction than a crash in my opinion, since the price movement was not triggered by bad news or any kind of fundemental change

Bitcoin bubble !!! I’m tired of those 2 words . If everyone only invested what they are willing to lose . Things would be very different. But Greed and fear are what cause this spikes and drops. This is new and till the world learns that greed is not healthy it won’t reach its full potential.

Thank you O Bitcoin Lord. You have blessed me again today. I bow down in reverence to you. Please give me the strength to buy all future price dips when you wash out the weaklings, non-believers and pussies. Your blessings continue to overflow. Please guide my lost goldbugz friends out of the darkness and into the light that is Bitcoin. I realize they have thick skulls and small dicks, but alas, you have blessed me in both my pocketbook and my nether regions.

I didn't expect the nice gift of buying the bottom of today's dip in price, but your strength and guidance have never failed me. I know you may cast the goldbugz and non-believers upon the rocks and crush them into oblivoin while they cling to the false prophet of shiny metal coins. If that is to be, then so be it. I am honored to be one of your true believers.

retracements are healthy for the market...
I was curious however how was it that all the markets dropped around 30% in less than 12h ..

looks to me like there is still a strong correlation to the btc price , throughout the market , would you agree wiht me on that Michael ?

There is obvious relation of every altcoin to bitcoin because everything is being traded against bitcoin. All of us want to increase our bitcoins so this dump has pushed panic button to sell all we got.

On Binance, you are also able to trade against LTC, ETH, and BNB, which makes it a little more convenient. I beginning to see altcoins as an investment opportunity like the stock market, where you buy low and sell high. So the concept of holding the coins and hoping to make money by just waiting for low periods could prove to be a waste of time. If played well, $500+ could be made easily in about 30 minutes, especially with BTC's fluctuating price right now. What's awesome about this is you can buy and sell altcoins 24/7.

Hi Michael. I agree with your point that fundamentals don't alter during price gains and loses. Pick the coins you believe will still be around after a crash and that you think have a bright future. Happy holidays. Buy Steem :P

Something which should be stressed upon and noted: this sharp pullback in Bitcoin and most other coins/tokens isn't a surprise or shock to many people. Especially to those who had been in the market for at least a few months, before the recent bull run.

We had mostly expected this to happen. Especially after how Bitcoin had shot up from $6,000; broke past the psychologically critical barrier of $10,000 AND went up further to almost touching $20,000. It was well due for a price correction.

And how about the alts, when major coins with very big capitalisations like ETH, Litecoin, Ripple, QTUM etc. had added at least 100% (which is `modest' as compared to several hundred percent).

The market was bound to correct... and that's what it is doing right now.

My point is this: since most people had expected this, they aren't shell-shocked and in a daze. Yes, some are - the newcomers who had only just entered the market when it was near the recent peak. However, by and large, many were fairly well-prepared in the sense that they had no illusions as to the market defying gravity by not stopping.

It's in how they respond after this that will be more interesting. My bet is that they will jump back in once they reasonably believe strong support has been established for Bitcoin. With this new support base, it is likely the $20,000 will be challenged early next year.

This is assuming the support of around $12,000 holds, of course. If it doesn't, then right now will be remembered as the moment when the bubble finally burst.

The recovery will show that whats happening is mini bubbles due to the fact that its so relatively young and also so many joyriders trying to get in and out for a quick buck.
It will eventually calm down, the bubbles will stop because the technology is here to stay

Bitcoin had lost nearly 25% of its value over the last 24 hours. And the price of most major "altcoins" fell even further, with losses ranging from 19 to 35%.

We remember that Bitcoin could not hold long the threshold of $ 20,000 - a threshold it could have exceeded last Sunday, the space of a few hours.
Futures contracts offered by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, which allow institutional investors to speculate on Bitcoin, also recorded a sharp decline. They traded between $ 13,520 and $ 13,570, while their courses had exceeded $ 20,000 when they arrived on the night of Sunday to Monday.

I personally think it will pick up again. The bubble was bound to happen and people will buy still buy because price is low.

Price wont shoot up overnight but people now know about alt coins as well as BTC. Which will eventually cause the market to be more spread.

Stick, Buy and Keep Going.

Perhaps the term 'bubble' only exists in the current fiat system. BTC hits all economic goals regarding supply and demand and can only appreciate in value due to the limited market cap. I hope this statement is correct, but who knows.

I would definitely agree and I see so much potential in crypto and blockchain technology. Just look at what Steemit.com has been doing with the blockcahin. STORJShare is another example as well with it's online cloud storage using blockchain technology.

I do not think there is a bubble burst but a serious of crazy volatility that market makers will love to ride. The placing of bitcoin on the CBOE has made it available to the very people that do not understand the back story sentiment of discontent among the masses that see cryptocurrency as an answer to strong arm ruling class tactics. Nice work, best of luck to you in the coming 2018!
