what the market did here was max pain to the majority of participants: Alts bleed to new lows against btc -> majors bleed -> eth etf approved -> everything still bleeds -> we find out about gox coins -> btc bleeds more -> eth and alts finally get a bid
Alts are fine tbh. BTC is just extremely undesirable. - ETH ETF to poach flows from BTC. - Mt Gox distribution. Neither really intrinsic to alts. https://t.co/UQs86IXB00
Today marks the largest drawdown on BTC in more than a year. We've felt the knock-on effects of a slow bleed down from $70k but really hard to put to words how strong today's selling was relative to the last few months. https://t.co/WSIb08M3Ni
