I think the anaysis and conclusion in the article of Cointelegraph are rather interesting, as it shows less of an impact of the Mt Gox selling
on the Bitcoin price then was first assumed by many. Basicly it turns out to form a lessor factor in the current longterm downtrend.
This longterm downtrend was anticipathed by many traders ahead of the actual start of the downtrend, only to those new

price corrections and would just go straight to the $50.000
With regards to the title of this thread, i think i would have named it : Winter has arrived
Interesting read indeed, and not a bad analysis of the analysis. Like you said, a lot of decently relevant people did say we should prepare for the winter.

He warned that anyone who had enough years should be happy that crypto was up, but should also be prepared for LTC to dash down to $20 again. Everything happens in cycles. And we should be well prepared for a long winter.
