it is because the definition of crash that newbies like OP have is very different from definition of a crash that normal people have. it comes from their false expectations out of bitcoin. they expect it to always rise and rise big. for example if today price were $7000 they expect it to be $8000 in a week then $9000 in 2 weeks and by the end of the month they expect $10k and $100k by the end of the year.
and when that doesn't happen they consider it a "crash" and sometimes they even call bitcoin "dead" because of it!

In my bad days I set on ignore such panicking newbies, expecting most of them being paid to post FUD. But maybe I am just too harsh sometimes Smiley but we can't just teach the obvious again and again for each and every newcomer which most of the time doesn't even care to read.

Wow, interesting coverage, thank you.
