How many times have we seen people say that Bitcoin won't go below this or that level, while it happened every time? I say a plenty of dozen times. Current situation is definitely not an exception. Great example is the all time high of around $1200 back in 2013, where after that the price tanked to prices far below the $200 level. It's a decrease of more than $1000!! It was a combination of a massively overbought-manipulated price, and the MtGox debacle. But remember, there were far less coins in circulation than is the case right now. I can't say when since it's something we can't predict, but it will go below $700 again, it will go below $600 again, and at some point it will go below $500 again. It's just a matter of time, but the price always recovered so far, so that's something you guys can hold on to.
This.
The problem with bitcoin is that it is such a small market in the grand scheme of things, and small markets are easy to manipulate. Then add in that the Chinese speculators like to gamble, so they pile in when the price is rising and dump in a panic when it is falling. They don't seem to practice contrarian investing, and they don't do risk management either. The idea of only investing 1/10th of your assets at a time is foreign. They like to go all in, which can pay off occasionally, but most of the time wipes you out.
