*The markets have been bleeding RED for a lot of the last 40+ days!* 

* We have gone back over the $100B market cap just in the last 2 days or so and  stayed there just above -- buoyed by the Hard Fork / The Forkening of the Bitcoin 3 days ago on Aug. 1st...... into the Bitcoin Cash.  Symbol -- $BCH

### Please share what you are BUYING or SELLING -- and why???

It's definitely been a rough ride again lately- but recovering well the last few days!!! Then down again.  Then u....wait.....nope -  then down again then back up..... LOL!

----

12 Days ago when I did my update here on this we were recovering big time....... still depressed but slow recovery at $74B market cap and as high in recovery as $96B.  

6 days ago on my last update here - we were at $89B.

- meaning we had gained ~$22 / $23B market cap in 6 days.  That is very nearly $4B/day gained.   The fact is we had gained a lot of that in a couple days alone.  Then we lost that again as you can see by those numbers.  

 and we had lost  ~ $55B of the total market cap --- it was up to ~$117B about ~50 D ago and it dumped way down below $70B for weeks now around the dumpening of the Ethereum "flash crash" that one day. 


### It has been a fight!!  But we love our Crypto!!!

We have been been hovering around a depressed $90-94B Market Cap MOST of the last ~55 days or so. 

The last 4 weeks +  huge lows =  the lowest since the first week of June - 6 weeks ago after months of sustained upward growth and news.  We have had 3 dumpenings down to this range:

#### ..... has now just come and gone (August 1st 2017 Fork date) 

--

That was playing havoc with the markets, we know this.   There is a lot of jostling going on still now, 3 days post Forkening for this one reason alone, adding the extra volatility to the markets.  


----


Like the last few weeks when I updated this series..... the markets gained some similar recovery for a day and then crashed again.... what are we going to see the next 24 hours - 72 hours?????? 

 We have been in steady uptrend the last few days, as I mentioned above.  Then another 2-3 days of red and back down.....

-- Never a dull day in Crypto LOL.

There are a lot of good people on here who know what they are doing and we can build a solid resource here a couple times a week with all the community and you can check in here on my page a couple times a week and see the latest.

People can ask questions, share their wisdom and failures, and my hope is simple really :
