This uncertainty has a reason that is different from what we're used to. The price drop is not caused by regular pump and dump, what can be overcome. This is really serious. Investors are afraid that cryptocurrencies will no longer be decentralized, because of the worldwide regulations that governments will come with very soon. Cryptocurrencies will be taxed and centralized and that is scary to most investors who prefer decentralized currencies.
Of course bitcoin will be fine. There are a lot of fake news today that will ruin the reputation of bitcoin this tends to scare people who wants to be involved in botcoin. For me as long as people are making profit out of it bitcoin will be fine.
