Most of the people who joined the crypto community at the later part of 2017, especially December were not any real crypto investors. They just heard about the booming prices and decided to join and also make profit. They don't know the potentials of the blockchain technology and the future it holds and that is why now that prices are down, they have all left the market and its left the real crypto enthusiasts. They are those who are seriously doing panic selling over the markets
if that's the case, isn't it not that bad. the crypto community is very strong i doubt if only with panic sales, the market will be destroyed like this.
it seems your opinion is not right, this is not a new investor, but all the investors that exist today.
