Recently there have been several news about Etherum falling or bitcoin dumping or more still an altcoin dying
The truth is newbies are been deceived to sell cheap or buy expensive
Newbies need to work and trust their research power and not be intimidated by any news
I don't think there is an Altcoin that has died as long as it already exists on the exchange market, only now that bitcoin is declining so that the other Altcoins follow like Ethereum and others.
Just need patience and hope to recover soon with the right price and profit.
