With the blocksize drama escalating we clearly see people flee to alternatives that offer a solution.
The current dip has nothing to do with the blocksize drama.
It has to do with impatient people who bought at 360 a few weeks ago hoping to sell at 420 but it didn't hit 420 and it is the end of the month and they have to pay bills so they have to sell now.
Exactly not so much a bad deal, there's not enough reason for the price to continue to climb with more altcoins out there with more features and can easily double the price but can also lose half of it. Altcoins can double its price in a day while bitcoin can't for now.
altcoins can halve their price in an hour too. It's happened to me, I no longer want anything to do with them until I find one that is really compelling. And to be really compelling, it can't just appeal to geeks, it has to have appeal for the masses that aren't geeks. None of them do, so all of them currently are really just an alternate form of gambling.
