All the crypto currencies have a rather bad day today.
Mainly because of the ICO ban I suppose.
In fact bitcoin is doing much better than most altcoins.
Of course when a very important method on how altcoins get their funds is removed, that has to affect the whole market.
But for the bitcoin price, maybe less altcoins will be a benefit in the end.
NEO and ETH price have dumped hard because of panic from this news but I think both of them including bitcoin will recover really fast in next few weeks.
Just don't sell anything you have right now.
Lesson learn for me again today. Not to sell during panic times. Although I got nervous today seeing the price going down by the hour and touch below $4200 now going to $4xxx. I guess the negative news coming from Chinese regarding banning ICO are being felt today.
It not just China how is at the moment impacting for bitcoin price, article in guardian also going in this way. As mentioned in this article by JP Morgan boss Jamie Dimon, he is saying that bitcoin use is fit for drug dealers, murderers and people of North Korea. No good for the ones that are reading this, but he also mentioned that bitcoin is a fraud. Did he see how bitcoin evolved this year, i would say no.
Not to mentioned that many think that bitcoin will never be good or valued enough this year have proven to be other wise. We saw price go boom and this correction is something that will go for next few weeks maybe even this month. This is not the way for executives from one of the major if not the major bank in US put some lines like this. Cuz we are not drug dealers or murderers here, we are miners and workers who do some jobs or tasks for bircoin cuz we believe and love bitcoin.
Anyway here is the whole article and you all state your point of view.
