You should have waited until today when everything dropped 13%Originally Posted by PorkChopSandwiches
They were saying on the news yesterday that the golden age of alt-coins is now over. I think everything started falling when Buffett came out and said they were worthless investments. That was like 2 or 3 weeks ago.

Doubtful
Everytime there is a dip then its the end of crypto...everytime
If the Oracle of Omaha comes out and says something's shit, people run away from it.

Nobody gave a shit about his statement, the dip is due to a rumor South Korea was going to crackdown, that country is a major player in crypto

So when you go to buy some shares or stakes or whatevers...who do you send your money to?
For instance I want to invest 1000 bucks in bitcoin01. Who actually collects that money?
Or do you just set up a PC to 'mine it' and call the hardware investment the cost?
So confused..

This is I believe the 4th year in a row with a major dip around this exact time in January... it's really weird, probably some form of market manipulation, but it always recovers in two weeks
Also we needed a cull. Bitconnect was a fucking scam and finally died today. Dentacoin was a scam and got punished today. We're back 30 days in terms of market cap. It might go down another 40% tomorrow, who knows, but I still believe crypto is here to stay

Bitcoin drops below $10,000 with $30 billion of value wiped off in a day as cryptocurrency sell-off deepens
Ryan Browne - CNBC
Bitcoin fell below $10,000 for the first time since November, as a sell-off in cryptocurrencies continued for a second day Wednesday.
The world's largest cryptocurrency was trading at $9,615.94 at about 9:38 a.m. ET on Wednesday, and was down 15 percent in the last 24 hours, according to CoinDesk data. CoinDesk tracks prices from cryptocurrency exchanges Bitstamp, Coinbase, itBit and Bitfinex.
The last time bitcoin fell below the $10,000 mark was November 30. The red-hot digital asset soared to a record high of $19,343 last month, but has since been on a gradual decline. At its current price, it is now down 49 percent from that all-time high.
More than $30 billion was shaved off the cryptocurrency's market value in the last 24 hours.
Meanwhile, ethereum and ripple — the second and third-biggest digital assets respectively — continued to move lower. According to CoinMarketCap data, ethereum was trading more than 23 percent lower at $824.10 a coin after sinking beneath $1,000 Tuesday. Ripple on the other hand fell 31 percent to about 95 cents.
Cryptocurrencies appeared to sell off shortly after South Korea's Finance Minister, Kim Dong-yeon, said the country was still mulling a shutdown of crypto exchanges. Initial reports of South Korea — one of the biggest cryptocurrency markets in the world — moving to clamp down on virtual currency trading last week sent the price of bitcoin and a number of other major digital assets down sharply.
"The action we're seeing may seem dramatic but is really quite normal for this market," Mati Greenspan, senior market analyst at eToro, told CNBC via email. "All in all, this drop has brought us back to the prices that were traded about a month ago for most coins."
Greenspan said Tuesday that South Korean and Japanese investors often pay a premium of "20 percent or more per coin," but on Wednesday said they appeared to be falling.
"The premiums that were being paid by Japanese and South Korean crypto traders is also coming down, so that's a good sign as well," he said.
'No other justification than fear'
China was also reportedly looking to deepen its crackdown on the cryptocurrency market this week. On Monday, Bloomberg reported that authorities in China were planning to block domestic access to Chinese and offshore cryptocurrency platforms that allow centralized trading. Regulators will also target people and companies that provide market-making, settlement and clearing services for centralized trading, the publication said, citing unnamed sources.
And on Tuesday, a Chinese central bank official reportedly said that authorities should ban the centralized trading of digital currencies, adding weight to concerns of further suppression of the country's cryptocurrency market.
Charles Hayter, chief executive of CryptoCompare, said that many expected the cryptocurrency market to decline.
"The market was very overheated and had significantly dislocated from trend. A large percentage of investors were expecting this correction and reversion to mean."
Hayter said that panic was "leading the herd to sell with no other justification than fear," but added that it was "difficult to say" where the market would be headed next.
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile assets. Many experts believe that the introduction of futures contracts for bitcoin from the likes of CME and Cboe would tame the digital currency somewhat and bring in more institutional money.
They have large swings, I'm still up overall. Im sure it will recover.
