The answer simply is to minimise loss.
Agree, or maybe Panic. These are the only two reasons that came into my mind.
People are in haste to sell off their holdings just to cut their loss influenced by bad news surrounding cryptocurrency.
Bad news is always bad news, but it depends on how we interpret it, sometimes this news could be fake news or we are only exaggerating it
and that will cause us to react in a bad way, like panic.
But I think it is stupidity to panic-sell just seeing the market melting down. In some cases, the market is made to go down strategically by some for their personal gains. So wait, the market will go up the way it goes down.
The market will go down,, it's happening, but I believe it's only for awhile.
The whales is here to save us, since we do not have the government to do that for us, whales will do their power to bring the market up
because afterwards they will just dump it anyway. They have so many weapon to manipulate the price and it's always in their favor.
