I believe in bitcoin and I am sure that current slide in price is just a phase and it will be over soon. Bitcoin price was down due to the normal market practice. It is just building up its ground and soon will break the previous pricing record. So I am not worrying and I take this opportunity to buy more bitcoins for my savings.
If you look at the price now,it is recovering and it has crossed $2600,it was just a correction and i think the main reason was that bitmain came out with a scaling solution which created much uncertainty and people started selling off without thinking twice and that is how the market works,people used to react pretty fast and then it used to recover after a couple of days and that is what happened here,@OP Brett Arends is the garbage here as he thinks bitcoin is used solely for gambling and money laundering.
