What iv noticed is that bitcoin doesn't pick up anymore - its constantly losing value - and even dropped as low as low as 4xx $.
Is the difficulty together with the fbi, china etc news making people leave and give up the coin already? Everyone trying to cash out fast and try altcoins instead.
Check BTC prices at the beginning of Nov. BTC is not constantly losing value, in fact on the long run BTC value will keep increasing as more merchants accept the currency around the world.
