Its great to get this type of perspective about what i'm calling a crypto bear market. In normal forex and equity trading this happens all the time. In my view bitcoin is acting as a major drag to crypto currencies and has spread massive uncertainty hence the price. The good thing is that I see upside on either outcome of the bit fork, so if you have the spare cash now is a perfect time to buy, Not through some over zealous love and devotion to steem. But because it actually makes logical and financial sense to do it.
