We are the cancer. People control the market, specifically our emotions. The price of bitcoin is in our hands and we are the reason for this drop. If we could all just hodl and not sell, with new money coming onto the market, bitcoin would be worth a lot lot more.
The funniest part is that no matter how hard they prove to want to be a good forked coin with their manipulation, there is just no way it would work and they will keep trying and failing anyway. When it comes to a highly manipulated market, BCH comes first and it is perturbing to see how people or would I rather say sane investors are still holding this market. Probably, they feel the manipulation may one day drive it nuts to the moon. Let's see how it goes. Nevertheless, I do not see this as the worst year for bitcoin.
