We all know that crypto currency is volatile. Price drop happens every year. Without drop in price new investors may not get opportunity to invest in crypto. And we can't predict crypto market. Panic sellers always sell with loss and new investors comes.. but wr have to realise that every year is not same. In 2017 BTC and almost all alts reached ATH but we can't expect same for 2018. It's may or may not happen.
We all know that, but still majority of people is crying when ever some price drop occur. You are right what you say about people expectation, we saw all times high in 2017 and people thought that prices will continue to rise and that we will see new all times high this year too, too big expectations if you ask me. You are right about one more thing, not every year is the same, we don`t have same conditions every year, with that every year is unique. Price dropped, but everything is still working with full power, people are coming, governments and big companies are talking about it more than before, that is a good foundation for the years that will come.
