I just bought at 9000. But I plan to hold about a month. Too bad I didn't wait longer. Didn't think it would hit 8500. I didn't spend a lot so I'm not putting a stop limit I'll just see what happens.

It's not a crash its a correction...
That means value has to move around....
Bitcoin is overvalues vs. the rest of the market...
So when the value goes down vs. some coins, because its a defacto fiat.

With approximately 1/3rd the market capitalization.
It looks like a crash ...It isn't...

what is the problem? less than 2 years ago Bitcoin was at $100....Does anyone honestly think it is EVER going to be anywhere near that price again?......Cryptos are vastly more volatile than SEC stocks....But they are also vastly more PROFITABLE than stocks...In the sense of Time that it takes to turn a profit....I've been in the stock Mkt for over 20 years....Trust me...I know

Part of the problem is that bitcoin was such a one sided market for so long people sort of presumed up, up, and away. So when a decent correction came panic struck snowballing the selling. Many big players entered the market last fall/winter during the height of the inrush of capital. Big money in means big money out during corrections and much more volatility. Great if you can ride the surf but not so much when the wave crushes you. Cryptos gaining popularity is a double edged sword sometimes.
