people are only affected because the price tends to go down and eventually panic sell, and people tend to judge BTC because of the price, even though that is not the good side of BTC, BTC offers the convenience to transact with low fees, while other coins only follow the BTC movement.
Banyak investor memang yg cendurung ikut2an berinvestasi hanya krena melihat harganya yg makin naik, mereka cenderung tidak peduli terhadap kenapa mereka berinvestasi dilihat dr sisi kegunaan BTC tersebut, jadi ketika harga di buat turun oleh para cukong, mereka mulai panik dan malah loss.
