Not saying XMR can't or won't go further down, but that article appears to have been part of some market manipulation. Somebody likely loaded up on a huge short before publishing that. Very shady.
Good luck with that hurricane, hope nothing bad happens!
I now agree with you, I just saw the article and quickly read it when it was published, but the guy is a firm DASH supporter and seems to have falsified some things a bit.
They all seem to play favoritism similar to regular mainstream new stations as far as affiliations and special interest go. I think Coindesk is supporting Zcash because they are vested in ownership of it somehow. Zcash unfortunately already looks like a pre-launch failure.
