The bubble may have burst, maybe some of the whales will pack up and go home.

They may have yall in a back room soldering the display outputs back on.

i do not think this is a a crash, simply a market reaction to yet another insecure exchange getting hacked causing a correction to the over inflated markets. this may last for a few days but overall i do not see total market cap dropping below 70-75 Billion, it peaked at 116 Billion back last month. https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/
 
in all honesty the next few days may be a good time to grab some cheaper coins.

Don't flip it on ebay as the 30 day return policy will bite you in the bum.  Do it on kijiji or craigslist.  You might not get as much money, but then you won't have to worry about ebay fees as well.  And for your own safety, maybe do the transaction in a police parking lot :)

I read that fidelity had looked hard into cryptocurrencies BTC and ETH. Are there any of the more established banking partners that are investing or offering investments in the markets yet?

Goldman Sachs has apparently started looking into ETH.  Visa is hiring blockchain engineers.  It's the future, but that future is far away.  We are in the begining, and our holdings now will be worth maybe millions in 20 years, maybe nothing.  

can not read articles from that site as it requires me forfeit my rights to not see possible malicious advertisements. but i can guess the content based on the title.

Finally Gpus will be in stock

Bitcoin has already recovered almost all of it's drop from the ATH - altcoins have recovered some but a lot more variation there.
ETH went almost a week with flat total network hashrate but it's started climbing again - slowly.
 
 I suspect that demand pressure on GPUs has eased some but we're still months or more away from any long-term crash in the demand.
 

honestly i would not go an simply buy BTC and think of it as a long term investment. it is very erratic and you need to keep an eye on the markets and news sites regularly to know if you need to move off BTC before a potential crash. right now BTC is at record highs and everyone can speculate that BTC will go to the moon and crash to nothing. its up to you to decide if you want to take the risk.

Mining is different. Mining has a guarantee of daily income of some amount regardless of markets. you can hold on to that income and even sell later when markets are more favorable. INVESTING is completely different. here you only have a fixed amount of funds which you buy/sell coins with. and if a coin falls suddenly, which it always does, and you are on the wrong side you can loose quite a bit. for example if someone were to have invested into FLDC just last month they would have lost 65% of their investment today.

That would be me.. I sold some CURE and bough FLDC at .xxx1200 thinking it would go back up to 1500, however if it goes back up to 0600 I could still break even given the price of BTC.
 
Welcome to day trading with fake money

CURE has been doing well, actually holding it's own against Bitcoin the last few weeks during Bitcoin's runup after the "August 1st fork" FUD was overcome.
 FLDC on the other hand has been LOSING even on a $ basis, though not by a lot - we're close to the point of CURE earnings being higher than FLDC earnings (and on spikes it HAS been worth more at times the last couple days).
 
 Up side - I finally got enough of a spike on FLDC to sell off my "last month" earnings, currently being a bit slow about shopping for parts for a new rig as I want to get the current hardware "aligned" better to fit my power infrastructrure.
