Aye the price is detached from sanity and from everything earthly. I was doubtful that a coin could just go strict down, especially against bitcoin, and have not had even a light correction for months. And half a year is already a middle term, at least within crypto landscape. What we know for certain is that this mighty slump extends across the whole crypto shitcoinery, from huge coins like ripple to jest coins like POE and MFT.
