what makes me angry is that there is no real reason for this crash... the mainstream media is spreading FUD and idiots are selling in panic.
it might be a long time until we see 20$ again...
As we can see just over on the BTC chart : it's all about cycles.
I think we'll see a similar year in 2018 than for 2017 with an incoming alt coin season when the BTC really stabilizes and goes sideways to let the alts enjoy another cycle ride. That's why i'm very confident about Altcoins and especially Stratis for the Apris - June 2018 period

Then, BTC will rally again but with a start from 5/7k$ to 30k/50k area.
Let's hope so but the thing is if BTC takes off for some reason and goes for a long rally then most likely alt coins will gain only marginally at best. Hopefully there is a sideways trend in BTC as you say.
