It was a healthy fall as long as it was for the right reasons.( over heated market, projects not operating correctly ect .. ) But was it the big boys fudding to get in on the game cheaply. That would piss me off. There was an awful lot of out right wrong stories in the media last month that led to the fall and what coin market cap did with the S Korea money. And this all began to happen right after the futures market kicked off. All these big banks and media outlets/newspapers ect are friends. If they are the ones guiding the price jumps and dips then we are in trouble. They are ruthless and they dont care for the underlying core beliefs of the crypto coins.
Basically dips are healthy - corporate manipulation is not .

It was a combination of factors, the price could not go any further, the number of investors who got into bitcoin was great but at the end it was not unlimited in quantity so when we reached the limit the price went down then the whales and those that wanted to get into bitcoin by cheap took advantage of the opportunity and crashed the price this was helped by all the bad news that surrounded bitcoin at a time, but as we know very well the price will eventually recover even if we do not know exactly when that will happen.
