Current price is reflection of current state of whole crypto market. Crypto currencies (BTC mostly) became more and more mainstream(ish). As such, governments, institutions... started paying more attention to it. Everyone's trying to diminish influence of crypto's now. Because of that, for a couple last months, we have everyday news from different countries like closed/banned/restricted exchanges and/or crypto trading, as such. Luckily for us, the market is too big and technology is too advanced to be ignored or stopped. That been said, the market will recover and rebound. And it'll rebound heavily.
As per Einsteinium, everything is the same. Work continues as scheduled, as EEM wrote above. I believe crypto's will bounce back soon, with perfect timing for EMC2's news.
Suck my rooster.
