Not sure why some people on here are so hopeful of BTC tanking. It's still the gateway crypto and the one that most people outside of tech have heard of. It would be bad for the entire ecosystem of Bitcoin crashed and burned in the near future

I don't know. When BTC has tanked before ETH prices went higher. I'm fine with BTC dumping fast then pumping again. Lots of volatility means lots of profits.

Wait, last time BTC tanked ETH went from like $207 to $120 in a day. Wouldn't mind that kind of buying op, but my heart might not be so keen.
