Just about every virtual currency out there is seeing red right now.
Here is a list of the top handful of cryptos by market cap:
As you can see they are all red.
It doesn't get any better when you scroll down either. When scrolling down the list of the top 100 cryptos by market cap, only 3 of them are currently in the green.
That means roughly 97% of the crypto space is seeing red right now.
What gives?
Well there are a couple possibilities in my opinion.
First you had the flash crash the other day where the price of Ether crashed from around $300 all the way down to $.10 within a matter of minutes. The price recovered quite rapidly but the damage psychologically was already done.
Then you have the uncertainly surrounding bitcoin and what is going to happen with Segwit and on August 1st. Some are claiming the chain could be split into 2 separate chains. However likely that may or may not be, the uncertainty around it is causing some people to likely take chips off the table.
Then last night there was the rumor that the co-founder of Ethereum had suddenly passed away. It was reported lats night that Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum had died in a car accident that injured 5 and claimed the lives of 2, including him.
Buterin quickly put those rumors to rest using blockchain (ironically), but again the fear and uncertainty has already crept in.
Basically in my opinion we are seeing the results of people's confidence in the space being shaken, and when many are sitting on large profits, these kinds of things happen.
What's next?
Well for one I want to see how long this all lasts.
If this is all mostly just fear and uncertainty around a flash crash and a (rumored) untimely death of a co-founder, then it could be over just as quickly as it all started once some confidence is restored.
If it is mostly over the fear of what is to come with Bitcoin, then it may last a while longer yet as we inch ever closer to those important dates and headlines whip the price around from day to day until a definitive outcome is known.
Either way, the fact that Coinbase has come out and said they will reimburse those that experienced losses from stop losses being hit during the flash crash of Ether, and also the co-founder of Ether verifying he is in fact alive and well should go a long ways in helping restore some confidence.
Confidence can be a tricky things in markets though, once it's shaken it is tough to restore in the very short term.
My thoughts
For me personally, I would not be surprised to see prices across the board come in a bit more.
Then as confidence is restored and a lot of these exchanges continue to make improvements both in their technology and in their customer service abilities, and as we get past some of the uncertainty surrounding bitcoin in the coming months, I fully expect to see the space rebound and continue upon it's upward trajectory.
Which means, I am using these drops as buying opportunities. :)
Stay informed my friends!

I came across this issue last minor dip. I use bitShares to do some of my trading for the coins that I can trade on it. It has a really nice USD derivative similar to USD Tether (USDT) called bitUSD. I realized next time my portfolio went up too fast too quick, and I put converted some of my crypto holdings into bitUSD which stays at 1 USD in value when converted to bitShares (BTS). Then when the markets dipped again, I could instantly convert my bitUSD to BTC or BTS and convert to other altcoins from there. Also, the bitShares exchange is really nice because it eliminates a lot of the trust issues users have with exchanges as it's a decentralized exchange and the fees per trade is a really cheap flat fee:
Check it out if you're looking for a stable store of value when the crypto markets are especially volatile. BitShares also offers other derivatives such as bitCNY, bitEUR, bitGOLD and bitSILVER which can be very helpful in diversifying and keeping value. Happy trading!

It's happening every week since Bitcoin had a rise. Imo is not nothing to worry about. Hodl your currencies and don't fall for this market prices manipulation by the exchange markets.
I've read somewhere thorough analysis of how exchange markets are manipulating the price.

As a collector and long term holder, I am not worried in the least. I know there is uncertainty out there with a variety of different things (Bitcoin update on August 1st, Etherium scalability, regulation, etc.), but I see some of these dips as a buying opportunity. As long as you have the mindset that dips will happen and this may be a chance to load up on deals, then we will all be fine. My plan is to remain calm and ride it out.

Just look at the history of Bitcoin - it's had many crashes of this magnitude. The last huge crash was back in 2013/2014 and led to a period of stability where the price settled at roughly $200-$300. Smart people acquired during this period.
I think essentially, the latest volatile speculation bubble has just popped, and we're going to see a slow descent until it evens out and remains stable at a lower price for a while. Before the next bubble ;) so buy up!

Thanks for the post. I think the rumor of Vitalik's death only played a minor role.
I think it's the realization of the big players that ETH just like bitcoin is not scaling well. The sudden rise of ICOs and the Txs that come along with it has been clogging up on the blockchain. I'm not certain yet but there were rumors on reddit as well that there were people deliberately adding txs on the chain just to clog it more inducing more FUD. I'm not claiming all this blabbering I'm saying is for real. What the real reason for this bloodbath is my guess is as good as yours :)

Either you have confidence in the Blockchain technology or you don't.
But I suggest do not Q and A this every single day. I tend to, when I've decided once to stay on my track until someone has some profound arguments so I'm willing to change my mind, but never over night, driven by some stupid and greedy emotions... - I'm not swaying all the time... - cause I don't wanna get nuts!
Do you?
And I'm also convinced that Block-Tech is not a matter of one single man. It's a movement to change this rotten system by kicking the elites into the ass; BT is a flourishing mindset to form something new to put the people above the govs and banks. No 0.001% of thieves, murderers and pedos should own 60 percent of the world's wealth.

I am right with you on the opportunity to buy. Its going to take several years for the global economy to buy in - but I believe the technology will continue to evolve and the ease of using cryptocurrencies not just as an investment but as a daily currency for normal goods and services is on the horizon. Whenever that threshold is hit 1 year, 3 years 10 years - I guarantee the price of the leading alt coins (be it bitcoin or whatever) will be much higher then today.
Buy alt coin if you got excess cash laying around...you will only appreciate it in the coming years.

If you use Coinbase, you can keep a reasonable amount of USD in your wallet so that you can make quick purchases when opportunities like this one present themselves. That being said, I wouldn't keep a lot of liquid cash in your Coinbase wallet at any given time. Think of it as whatever amount you would normally hold in your physical wallet for impulse purchases. You wouldn't want to keep large sums of money in your wallet in case it got stolen or lost. The same principle should apply for your digital wallets.
I am planning to budget $50 every month to put into my USD wallet so that when the opportunity strikes, I can make a quick purchase without having to wait for the pending transactions to go through or pay crazy fees. I probably won't keep more than a couple hundred dollars in there at a time and I use multiple wallets and exchanges to minimize the impact of one being hacked or the service going down (e.g. the Ethereum freeze on Poloniex last week).

I only started buying crypto a few weeks ago but I have been watching the market very closely and soaking up as much information as I could for the better part of two years to make sure I had a good handle on how it worked before I invested. In hindsight, I was probably too cautious due to horror stories I had read of people investing their life savings into BTC and losing it with bad trading or security practices. Looking back, I wish I had taken the leap a lot sooner! I watched BTC explode over the past few months and I was kicking myself haha
In my opinion, it looks like crypto has a lot of growth ahead of it still so I am happy to be preparing for that now :)
Let me know if you need help! I am have learned a few things along the way and I am happy to try to answer any questions you might have. Best of luck!

I am usually transfering money from my Bank Account that takes a couple of days. Opportunities exist every day, so i never run to make deposits. Maybe someone else can give you a fastest way.

Don´t get why everyone is freaking out. Crypto-currencies and platforms like ethereum need to deliver now, there is so much money but no one is actually delivering...
If the growth would´ve continued the way it did, blockchain companies would at some point be more worth than their counterpart which would be crazy

Any thoughts on why Steem dollar is +33 relative to BTC ?

Nice post, I see bitcoin only fell with 8%, while a number of crypto's fell by more than 20%, looks as if the big daddy of crypto is still more stable than a number of the new coins. Nice info, thanks for sharing.

Just a hiccup, nothing to see here! It will all be back up in the next week or so, I think. Of course I'm the world's leading crypto-idiot, but I think a panic at this point is a bit premature.

One thing not mentioned is the fact that the summer is closing for a big portion of investers. It's bear time almost every year in summer. Lot of people are taking a break and if they can't watch the market closely to react, they rather take the money out and convert it to fiat and enjoy their time off. That's just my thought i could be wrong :) but take a look at the june/july on bitcoins history chart. The msin question now is where is the bottom?

ICOs liquidating their coins has to have a lot to do with it really, we've had a string of record breaking fundraisers in the last week and that ETH and BTC has gotta leak out somewhere.

I wonder if this pull back has anything to do with the technology sector of the market. a few weeks ago the Tech sector sold off and cryptos followed. Maybe theres some sort of correlation? I think bitcoin will $1400-$1500 level before going back up.

Great post and insight!! I think of the markets being in the red as a BIG Cyber Monday sale. Buy and Hold and buy some more. The markets go up and down everyday and people just need to put fear aside and focus on the long term.

I am expecting bit more fall. I don't know why for for the next 1-2 days only, I am suspecting the same condition, Little more downfall in all the currencies . P.S. I might be wrong also. Legalisation of Bitcoin and travellers have to declare their deposits before entering USA are the reasons i hope.

I'm guessing it means that cryptocurrency, despite BitCoins recent surge, is still a volatile currency.

Volatility in crypto is like the blood in your body, it can never stop. But oftentimes, you get a signal or two right before price plunges. That was how I predicted Bitcoin would go down hard a few days ago. I share my trades for free here on Steemit and I do it to help non-traders or those who are new to trading.

I wasn't 100% confident in my decisions but after buying 4 ether in the last 3 weeks(2@ $350 and 2@298) i pulled the trigger again yesterday evening and 3 more times today.
Got in a couple at 225 and 1 earlier in the day at 240.
I'm new to this. From what i heard, the whole purpose of EOS is effectively to kill off ethereum. Though i'm sure they could coexist and this is still at LEAST 1 year away, it does give one a moment of pause while buying this "cheap" ether.
Who thinks ether will be up 25% or more by december? From now, that is.
I am a beginner and have always thought: Never gamble more than you're willing to lose. I consider deregulated day trading of this stuff to be inherently a gamble. So, all totalled, i'm in about 9,000 right now. Most in BTC, rest in ether, and picked up 2 veri tokens as a what-if thing. Bought in at $88/token
Of course i'm not alone. Most anyone who jumped in and didn't flip things when they should have (ME!!!) are in the red very deep at this point.
I still have hope that even if there's a hard fork and it's ugly, BTC will bounce back in the 5+yr outlook.
Sorry, a bit of a rant from a guy who is new to this! haha.
Upvoted your post and thank you for it.
have a great day, y'all

Being a holder, I just hold. Nice and simple. I shed my ethereum just before the price dropped last week. I cashed out, and sunk it all into Bitcoin, buying the dip as it were. I'm not a trader, I just can't get excited about it. But my Bitcoin stack is growing, especially from a big profit in Ethereum. I was just lucky, just got a feeling and jumped out. I have a tiny bit more of Bitcoin to buy to round it up, then that's it for me. I have some physical Silver and Gold, and now some Bitcoin. Job done for the moment.

Good chance to buy - i'm in the market for more coin - just don't now what yet!
I like Syscoin & Bitshares, & Ether looks good value at this price , if it can recover to previous heights.

I agree with a lot of people on here--just hold on!
I think that in times like this you can drive yourself crazy looking at the price all the time, therefore you need to incorporate things in your life to distract you from it.
If you believe in the technology and have invested in it for the long-term, don't even sweat it! If you're in large profits and feel like, "oh, maybe I SHOULD have cashed out already" don't feel that way! If you hold on, you'll have even larger profits.
When we look back at the crypto world 5 years from now, we'll feel silly to have worried so much about it dipping $50-100. The smart money has already cashed out everything they wanted to, and won't do more IN MY OPINION.
Obviously, as with everything, do your own research. Personally, I'm going to go play basketball and spend time with my family while my currencies sit in my ledger nano.
