this is good news, and hopefully the information you say is true. because we have had a long mental war in the face of market conditions.
Mental war for noobs perhaps, but for most people with a few working brain cells the bear market was a fantastic buy back opportunity. Buying back more coins for the same amount of money I got from selling is my main goal when it comes to accumulation, and I'm sure that applies to a lot more people.
At the deepest point of the bear market Bitcoin was quite clearly oversold, while some altcoins did well maintaining their value. XRP is a good example of that. People holding it wonder why it's not going up as much as the rest, but they don't understand that it had done well when other altcoins performed bad. Its USD price is exactly where it should be in relation to other altcoins.
