.....

the problem? some coins are just way overvalued now. they have small teams, no earnings, often no real use or product, yet they are worth billions in market cap. many of the big players in crypto will go bankrupt if people keep pushing them......

the only way we can save crypto is if we evaluate companies realistically. if we buy into new, cheap, promising projects. not into the bubble coins that are extremely high.

I do not really understand about the news, they speculate very far. although everything is possible at the price of crypto currency like ethereum, but to fall to $ 1 I do not think it will happen in 2018

Ethereum is not going to decrease that much. One dollar is a little bit exaggeration of even Fuds. It is one of the toughest coin the world has ever known. Ethereum is also considered as the number one altcoin. Definitely it can survive through the present crisis without losing that much worth. But if that happens, there would occur the largest panic selling out of the decade and also largest buying too as ETH is not going to die even if it becomes worth only $1.
