People are coming to their senses?
Short-sellers lost a small fortune on Ethereum and TheDAO mega-dump
The issue for the short-sell disappeared within 36 hours and price rebounded!
Then no-one was willing to buy BTC for dollars or pounds at $600 plus, which meant there had to be a dump on BTC Fiat Currency Prices.
Anyway, all of that represented significant losses.
Easy way to recover the losses, cut the price of LTC on the exchanges by 25%, which is still produced significant amounts (5 million LTC per year).
Spend the next 2 years, buying LTC at 25% suppressed prices, and correct the price around 5 months before the next Block Halving in 2019.
Only losers in this are LTC mining businesses, but they have no choices, because they have to sell their daily LTC production.
Everyone wins, excepts of the ASIC mining businesses.
