ETH is probably down due to the whalepanda post

Thanks for posting that link. I think a must read for anyone invested in ETH.

It's too bad that the Ethereum Platform is going to get a bad reputation because of the con job ETH the token has become. On the other hand since members of the Ethereum Foundation have been involved maybe good riddance. Besides lots of good competitors have released smart contract platforms without participating in a scam.

Whalepanda is the "conjob" not eth, and WP is totally loaded in favor of bitcoin (and the core dev dictatorship for that matter)
Whalepanda attacks Eth because Whalepanda fears Eth.

at the very least see the bias in this matter. WP did not move the price

more likely is; it touched $3K and triggered sells from people at that price. it is common to see selling in trading at key price points. and as we see today it has bounced down the last few days and now on strength is returning to have another go probably bounce again off the 3K point a few times before breaking it, or maybe it will move down and set a new trend south. this is the world of trading.

either way, WP has nothing to do with it other than being a voice for bitcoin and terrified of eth taking its leadership on the Marketcap stage. which really means nothing.

If you replace most of the negative/fear driven "advice" in WPs post with BTC instead of ETH he would also have a valid point. but he only ever focuses his attacks on Eth and only ever lordes his ''precious" bitcoin. there are a lot of the old school bitcoin users who are like this. its a common theme.

face it, ALL crypto is in a bubble and built on uncertain business and technology not just Eth, it is the nature of the process because it is still growing and evolving. in this respect, no one in crypto can really be trusted, it is all a gamble. come back in 10 years and it may be finally showing some stability, or be completely gone. sunk without trace, or controlled by regulators and lawmen.

neutrally speaking, for real world uses eth surpasses bitcoin at the moment simply for usability. everything else is loaded emotion. WPs comments and yours included. (scam? really? back that up with something or move along.)
