Bitcoin, Ethereum and almost every other cryptocurrency is plunging

[dna_polymerase]

A 20% drop is reported immediately a 20% increase is not. The various Tokens see such increases and decreases all the time.

Maybe, maybe not.

When bitcoin is off by 38% in 30 days and 17% in 7 days its clearly a sustained trend worth talking about.

Also, have they not realised how volatile that price is right now? In the time it takes to put out such an article, a 20% increase could easily have occurred. Or the original 20% drop might now be a 40% one.

Reporting a continuation of a trend won’t get many page views. It’d be like a story about world population.

Typical. 1% drop, people go crazy. +90000% gains, nobody cares. It's just us humans like to see and talk about negative things rather than positive ones.

Also please upvote both discussions asap to prevent moderation hi-jacking. It smell like an organized group of interest keep dowvoting theses threads to bury it and prevent adversarial discussion.

Would be nice if someone that can analyse the log could do a study about that. Because this isn’t the first time I have this hunch about a crypto oriented thread.

PS: Sorry for non-sense about downvote. See below for more.

Time to buy.

I'm buying. Bitcoin might as well hit 20k soon after this.
