Bitcoin etc values will decay back to their historical levels prior to pump & dump.
If this happens, what else do you expect the market to do. I was reading and waiting for you to send a link to indicate the short down of bitcoin and probably, the introduction of another.
When prices start to look down sharply, there will be panic selling action that trigger a deeper price correction again. Nevertheless, the digital money that survives will gain an unprecedented growth
We all want a better and high market value but do not act to contribute to the market in its rise which is our biggest failure and not of the Bitcoin. Now if big whales sold out the Bitcoin which is the reason for downfall and it is true that selling with a lot of coins decrease the value. Solution of the market to go in upward direction is to invest more and more in this market so as to stand in a high market.
