So I have seen a time when the ETH was disconnected from the XBTs issues and ETH would rise when XBT fell.

This whole XBT fork thing is going to be one such issue. Eventually, hardcore XBT crypto-traders are going to find other coins to put their market cap into – ETH, LTC, ZEC – to ride out this mess & keep playing the crypto game.

Others will completely pull their crypto investments until this XBT fork mess is cleaned up – so look at the market cap continuing to shrink. I wish us all great fortitude in riding out The Great Crypto Recession of 2017

There will be a massive rebound, but things will get darker until 8/1. Hang in there, and don’t let the big stock firms come in and own crypto. It is a matter of great principle for us all to ride this out. Stay Strong! Stay Free!
