As a free market means there is freedom in the market and they are only depending on the demand of the people then yes it is just a normal phenomenon for bitcoin because there is a lot of people in the market like newbie or new users and the pro/veteran or the old users of bitcoin so if there is a down or dumping moment for bitcoin it makes a hype or fears for the new users to just sell their bitcoin to be safe and that makes the price goes down but to those old users they see this is as a normal phenomenon and they just think that this kind of scenario is just an opportunity for the people to get more bitcoin and not to sell it.
I had hopes transaction capacity increases would lead to more new users and a better coin distribution in the long term.

Just the usual double top and now we are going down again... yesterday this is how the coinmarketcap website looked like:
It's pretty obvious, we had a pump after the big dump, and now we are dipping again. Don't stress... I think uncertainty will keep making the price dippish until it's solved somewhere around august and november... until then it's a bumpy terrains of ups and downs.

Not only in Bitcoin and Ethereum, but at least 90% of the cryptos prices are going down at this moment. Many Youtubers said that this is normal in the cryptos space, are they correct? I am not in this market long enough to understand this. 
Well, it is expected because crypto is volatile. It has obviously overpumped, and thus the reason why an adjustment went under way. When there is a bubble, usually it gets fueled more until it comes all down, which is a usually 20-40% adjustment in price in btc's case.
Just like as you hear in the news about housing bubbles coming to and end, and the bubble pops, it's the same thing happened to the cryptocurrency ecosystem. I'm extremely surprised though how well bitcoin and altcoins are holding up, but bitcoin in particular. I would have expected BTC to get dumped to $2000, but it never got near that, and price seems extremely stable.
I think the reason for this is that btc recently got legalized in a bunch of big countries, and getting accepted by a bunch of merchants as well. So $2500 to me is a healthy price lvl.
Self-correction of bitcoin price is a normal phenomenon and the drops can be even larger than that, this isn't unique to bitcoin as Forex, Stocks and all investments can have drops like these, Over long term though, IMO bitcoin is a profitable investment.

When you look at blockchain.info's home page, there is a graph showing several months worth of BTC price (scroll down a little):
https://blockchain.info/
The drop we had from nearly $3000 to nearly $2600 (now, of course bounced off its recent lows) is not that steep compared with BTC price drops in the past (percentage basis). If we go below $2000 - $2100, then it may turn into one of BTC's classic crashes, which if THEY FIX the scaling problem (with Segwit2x is the latest idea I suppose), then BTC at those prices would probably be a BARGAIN.
The hype that revolves around Bitcoin is usually what drives the price of Bitcoin up since most people that have Bitcoin don't want to miss out on the price of Bitcoin getting too expensive to purchase.When you look at blockchain.info's home page, there is a graph showing several months worth of BTC price (scroll down a little):

I would state that it's a natural thing since it does happen often compared to a price increase.

Ethereum drop isn't a normal but a corrective one, considering how much HYIP people spread ETH that led many to invest in it and later walk away with the instability and issues that are even worse than bitcoin.
Bitcoin crash is regular and is of small value that will recover mostly, other crypto's follow bitcoin direction since mostly are priced in bitcoins.

I don't know what people really expect in a market where the value is determine by supply and demand having fluctuations is perfectly
actually the current market is very stable if you do a comparison with the past, I'm very pleased with it

Exactly! Since the price of bitcoins are determined by the market supply and demand, the fluctuations of its price is completely normal. I would say that this is the best time and opportunity for people to invest since the prices right now are low and there is always the possibility of it sky-rocketing again. Some people also might hoard bitcoin right now due to the supply increasing and sell it when the demand increases. Just give it some time and the prices will surely go back.

Its normal I don't see any need to worry, yes there have been videos and articles that say Bitcoin is coming to an end and coincidencely the prices of Bitcoins have and other coins have come partially down, but I don't see any need for panic, rather I see it as a panic opportunity, and that's what smart traders shall do. If you have coins at high price, buy at low price and average them out. Or if you don't feel comfortable hold them for the long run it shall be good.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies market value will just go up and down instantly and it is normal just like fiat in real life so it is normal, and traders will strike and play this.
Yes they are right fluctuation in the price of bitcoin and altcoin is normal, and no one really knows what will gonna happen with the prices in next hour or even in next second.
You have to decide if you want to trade or invest with Cryptocurrencies. If you are investing then this volatility should worry you whatsoever. If you want to trade then this volatility is amazing. It's good either way. There is no need to worry.
Bitcoin has already proved that it has solid foundations for long term investment.

It sure definitely is. Price drops and rises, big or small, has been happening since forever in the crypto world. You don't even need to be in the industry for long to see this whatever the altcoin. You can always look at the past charts. coinmarketcap.com
Yes its just normal like all other trading platform if huge investors comes then they start to decide price down and up . They create situation where all small holders will sale their holding then then this big investors hold them . Its common in all trading platform . Even crypto is a currency as if now its treated as trading asset . Its all about demand and supply. some naturally happens and some will be created .
This not only happens to BTC or any other Alts. If you engage yourself into trading and investment, You can see the trend of every players. It's normal if you can see their trend do have ups and downs. This kind of industry is very unpredictable better be ready if this thing going to happen again in the near future.
This happens in the real world too. One oil company goes down in the market place, suddenly all oil companies go down, pretty soon all commodities companies go down.
It's even worse because of all the computer trading going on, which is much more limited in crypto world (APIs being slow, markets fragmented, etc.).

Normal correction all the time in the market. After a pump always expect that a correction will follow. May I ask are you holding bitcoin already? Once bitcoin is on a red day other crypto's will follow too. Just a simply tip to you, exercise your heart and don't be too weak with what you see on the market.
Here you go, it's actually very easy to find in google trends. https://trends.google.co.uk/trends/explore?q=bitcoin
Notice that search spikes correspond with price pumps. Pumps trigger news outlets and people dive in blindly adding to the pump.
Enjoy

Welcome to the crypto world mate. 
Hang on because it's a turbulent ride. It goes up like crazy sometimes and at other times fall at full speed by gravity.
Just enjoy and have fun. Let's wish for a happy ending.
