After the latest market corrections (aka Crypto on Sale Prices!) down around $40B over 3 days, which took us into the ATH range of $180B Market Cap..... we dumped again after a recovery was started and ~2 days now of SOME stability.

That DUMPENING and stability has continued based on original FUD news out of China -- and the FUD, news and related market response in the markets continue.

---

My last updates on my blog (focused today on STEEM price and placement numbers and news) had the market cap holding at around ~$138B

~6 days ago, ( 9/13/2017) on my last update in THIS particular series - that market cap number was down to $119B - something most of us never thought we would see.

Today is Sept. 19th, 2017 and the Markets are stable for about 2 days now after that BLEEDING out.

---

That means in ~12 to 16 days recently, we had lost ~$60B in market cap. (Sept. 2nd ATH of $180B market cap)

---

--

You can see this month in brief, and the high point Sept. 2nd just before 10 pm EST / 2 am UTC: (1 mth. chart)

--

--

In the recent past - and hopefully again -- we HAVE BEEN continually seeing records and ATH's (all time highs) being broken every single day, sometimes, within minutes or hours of something being broken!

---

~17 Days Ago on Sept. 2nd - we saw ATH's in Market Cap and BTC/Crypto's:

---

~17 days ago, on Sept. 2nd -- we were all MOONING with BTC right on the razor's edge of breaking $5k USD (in some markets it did) - and the huge ATH of (nearly!!) breaking the $180B market cap here:

---

Sometimes, this involves pullbacks or corrections. I rarely use the word "crash" as many of you know.

We are doing OK. This is what I have always said in all my posts / updates.

---

-- I think like others we have been overdue for corrections in the markets. But I do not think any of us forsaw the epic FUD news out of China coming - since they have banned crypto and unbanned it SO MANY TIMES.

Bitcoin and Crypto in general - has rebounded quicker each time with that news over time... it has been amazingly resilient!

---

We need to remember we are all still early adopters here and the markets and new people/money are finding their way here with us.

Good Times! Right??

---

PERSPECTIVE & RECENT HISTORY:

---

$150B Crypto Market Cap crossed 1st time ever: 8/23/2017!

--

Remember we then JUST crossed the $160B Market Cap 8/28/2017 for the 1st time!

--

I wrote about it right here

--

We THEN crossed the $170B mark just days later after that on 8/31/2017 around noon UTC time / 8 am EST.

--

And remember what I just wrote above near the start of this post ----the ATH range of NEARLY breaking thru the $180B Market Cap.....

-- Sept. 2nd here where you can see this month in brief, and the high point Sept. 2nd just before 10 pm EST / 2 am UTC:

---

We will be back there soon enough and upwards folks, it takes time to ride out some of the FUD and bad news (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) etc.

---

Corrections started BEFORE Sept 8th, 2017 - but the markets consistently dumped down to (now) Sept. 14th at the huge new low of ~$119B.

---

Remain Calm. History is on our side here.

Balance and Perspective is key here.
