To sell or to buy? that indeed is the question, with the most recent decline in prices, several things enter the mind of a player. Often these would range from thoughts such as, -the prices are way down, and would have the probability of rising up again, thus buying now would be a good time-, another thought would be, -the prices are crashing, just a few more drops and the price would be, below the price when i purchased, it would be a good time to sell, as i will still make profit-. The rationale move would be, for these different types of personalities, a person who would want to buy must only buy a few coins, it is a risk, but that is the game of investment, and it is true it is a good time to buy. On the other hand we have the type of personality who plays safe and would like to sell, maybe a few coins, but I prefer on holding on them a few more days, and just observe the charts as prices might suddenly soar high. The most recent crash is because of this thought, of whether to sell or buy, it is part of the cyclical process to maintain value on the merchandise or the BTC, the thing that keeps something's value in the market is that, transactions need to happen, a buy and a sell needs to happen, because if it doesn't with an item such as the BTC, it will have a decline in value overtime. It needs to pass through different hands, and money needs to flow around the circuit, the latter process itself makes sure that the value is always there and makes sure that it can fall and rise (which is the good thing). Imagine if there are no transactions, no coins being sold or no coins being bought, is it not true? the value will decrease, and there would be no life behind the item and the market it is in. So how would the cryptocurrency, maintain value? By making sure that they make the person think of whether to buy or to sell.
