For all those thinking of selling, it's important to clarify what's really going on behind the scenes when it comes to price and why you shouldn't panic sell and just continue to hold.
There has been a strong algorithmic price lock put in place between Dash (as well as all other major alts such as ETH, Monero,) and BTC for many months now. This "lock" is driving the price of Dash in the exact same direction as BTC in addition to forcing it into a continuously worsening Dash/BTC ratio. The lock was put in place by most likely the major exchanges such as Bitfinex and Binance or possibly some other big BTC whales with the intention of not destroying the alts, but to protect BTC dominance (all major alts have fallen almost exactly around 80% against BTC) AND to also prevent the alts from rallying while BTC is falling. This is irrespective to any fundamental achievements the alts make, no matter how great they are. They are all moving in exact lock step with BTC price, no matter what. This consistency of downward movement among all major alts in almost the exact same percentage is unnatural and not reflective of a real free market.
Unfortunately, this downward price action is creating a negative feedback loop which is causing more and more people to panic sell (erroneously thinking that the price decline has something to do with Dash when in reality it's being orchestrated on purpose) which leads to more Dash in the hands of exchanges which further strengthens their capability of reinforcing this lock and creating a stronger tie with BTC's price action. As evidence of this, you can see the "bart" patterns which are being done on BTC as shadow effects on the Dash's price charts. The way we can fight this is by stopping the sells and keeping less Dash in the hands of the exchanges. Right now, we still stand 5k + MN strong and we don't have a large circulating supply. All it takes is for one catalyst and the lock will begin to weaken.
I'm also a firm believer in fundamentals and right now, Dash and our community only continues to grow stronger than ever. We are technologically moving in the right direction and adoption continues to spread world wide. There is also a lot of pioneering and industry leading developments in the pipeline (i.e. Chainlocks) and many of us are volunteering our time to help spread Dash adoption in the real world. In my opinion, this lock to BTC can only hold us down for so long until Dash breaks free and can move in it's own path.
