I don't think the price goes down to $3k again if we look from bitcoin price yearly lows. To be honest I'd say $5-$7 will be the lowest price in 2021 since we're in Bullish moment, also the volume trading is quite high in this month (around $40,000,000,000 USD) it mean there's many demand on it.

I don't think there is a coincidence, the market is very on the overbought region for some time now, so all points to a solid bearish signal. And at $190k a pop, there is a lot of emotions in this zone, so obviously, a sell-off happen.

But it has slow down a bit for now, price is above $17k, and in 24 hours timeframe, it is now on the ~10% drop.

At $19000, there are a lot of people who are in profit like 1.5x, 2x or even more considering they have purchased at the dip last year (or this year, cannot remember when it happened around $4000). So, I think most of them have liquidated their money as BTC was stable for a few days and they had speculated no ATH this time too. This is what I think.
Great to see a mate from 2011.

I do not often like to play conspiracy theorist when it comes to Crypto otherwise we are asking for problems with "insider trading".

Pure coincidence is what I believe to be the reason for the $19k and then sudden drop.  But in a few hours or maybe days we could re reach that point of almost breaking the all time high.

I don't see any conspiracy theory here. In fact I think that correction was expected and the only question is how long will it last and how deep it will go.
Also, I think that too much importance is given to whales and their influence on price but I guess that people like conspiracy theories and every explanation for price drop that isn't rational.

The Bitcoin whales don't actually want a new ATH.They want to create panic selling,by selling a part of their coins,causing the prices to go down,so they could buy cheap Bitcoins in the future,while cashing in profits at the same time.
A stable upward price trend has to be supported by millions of newbies buying BTC.I don't see this happening,so it's normal for a price correction to occur,sooner or later.

They can do it, if you are underestimating the capabilities of your cy then you are dead wrong, they have the ability to ban websites and services that are connected or even acquainted to bitcoin if they want. There might be some that will slip through the cracks but the witch hunt will be unforgiving if they want to and financial institutions will be in support of the government effort to eradicate traces of cryptocurrency because it is a threat to them ever since.

Monero isn't private and is likely a government honeypot. I sold my XMR a long time ago for 0xMR.

Befor you can make a vaccine the virus must exist. To this day SARS-CoV-19 has not been isolated, aka does not exist from scientific standpoint.
If you have scientific proof (not idiot box propaganda), be so kind and forward it.

You want a simple advice? Avoid privacy coin because of their reputation. Unlike bitcoin that's pseudonymous, transactions can be trace but monero isn't something that can be crack down. It has given regulations bodies tough time especially cases that involves investigations. The $600k Bounty is still on, you don't want to jeopardise your funds except you don't need it or perhaps free money to spare my friend 
There are other importants altcoins to dive in and make out same profits on this privacy coins. It will be better if you look into DeFi instead of privacy coins, Ethereum network I believe will skyrocket DeFi with updates this coming 2021.

ahahahahahah dolls are pretty quite, don't worry about that 

I think coin privacy coins does have the potential to make a trend in 2021, but remember I think more about DEX,
because Uniswap have a good start in 2020, privacy coins is more prone towards criminals,  so don't join fomo privacy coins.

Not to worry peeps.Your mandatory "papers" are almost redesigned .....not long now
