I'd rather have a bit more substantial correction now than continued growth to the point that when the real correction finally hits it sets us back weeks. With a long term coin like this, it strengthens the base of holders every time - gradually funneling more coins away from weak hands and into long term holders. I say bring on the bear for a bit. I'll happily keep staking.
Agreed, and the market cap has a ways to go. So bear country is good... If the intentions of the "f'n manipulators" is to create more buy-in, then I'm ok with them.
