Not only this, same is the case we observed for alt's, plummeted 10-15% in a matter of minutes. This is as it seems is outright manipulation + to spice up thing we don't have the shortage of FUD, but also at the same time it's a good opportunity to get in alts at lower prices and go long for at least 10% or with offcourse stop loss properly setup. Right now I am not worried about the dollar value of my portfolio, but concentrating on increasing the number of coins by taking advantages of all the fluctuations. Most people think these fluctuations are bad, but without these fluctuations how would people profit.😉
Eg. selling at say 100 satoshi and buying back at 90 satoshi and repeating this cycle, without concentrating on what price I purchased, as I am in for long term.
