Bitcoin is depressing the market of Altcoin and as January remain sluggish, any attempt at price rise will be confronted by bear market. Ethereum excitement is been dampen by the negative news of ethereum classic and the bearish position of bitcoin!
Recently, in general, the information space was filled with negative information regarding ethereum. Nevertheless, this should not affect the development of the project. But Bitcoin still goes into the background and if there is no real investment, Bitcoin may fall.
Project development will continue and when that happens there will be corrections so far that have been noticed. So buying it can still be done, but if it's just to try it, I don't think it's right, because real investment must happen if we don't want to see a market that continues to fall deeper because a lot of negative information is circulating.
