If you are saying that an 8% price fall is alarming, then you might be a true Newbie or just helping spreading FUDs. 8% fall is not that of a big deal when it comes to Bitcoin. 20% is still considered normal so you should relax now and not be "alarmed" anymore. There is no reason to be alarmed in the first place, this is Bitcoin.
I remember someone having opened a thread saying that he's worried about his $100 worth of Bitcoin investment having gone down with $10 in a very short time.

It just shows that people invest and blatantly assume that the market will increase. If the market doesn't go up, but go down instead, they act like the end of the world is near. At the end of the day, we shouldn't really be surprised by people acting like that. The forum is infested with these panic noobs, even to the extent where they infect other noobs with their nonsensical posts and don't even realize that. It's almost a plague.
