I see that since December 2017, when this post was published, the question: "Why the crypto bloodbath?" still relevant and I believe that it will be relevant for a long time. The answer to this question has not changed, because the cryptocurrency market is still being manipulated through the media, the prices are played by large players with large capital. I think, while the capitalization of cryptocurrencies below $3-4 trillion, their prices will still be as easy to manipulate as they are now.
