The market is really fascinating, right now. The Microsoft news broke the bear rally that was looking to get out of hand. However, the Microsoft counter-rally up to $360 was so weak tipping the bulls hand that they have run out of ammo. Yet, many are unwilling to sell en masse on this realization because the Microsoft news signals potential for greater adoption and, hence, is speculatively significant even if, in the short-term, the net effect is actually people using existing coins and unloading bags.
The new money just isn't there right now for it to rise and the bulls have shot their load or dropped out completely. But, people feel like BTC is on firmer speculative footing than it was a week ago. Something that might have more speculative value but has nobody crazy enough to speculate on it anymore. Now, one thought is... that's the perfect time to buy -- I understand that sentiment. But, on the other hand, the real value is the community/network effects and they've already been burnt too many times or had too much of their wealth cut from under them. It's weird. A reason for BTC to live while it is in the midst of taking its last breaths.
I think you have to short until the bulls show they have any fight left in them. Do so with a narrow stop, though, in case a big player enters the market and sees an opportunity.

Everything is hurting btc, but yes xrp is taking some liquidity out of btc. But ripple is creating more liquidity for btc as an exchange.

marketcap is actually more like 150mio because the creators hold most of the assets I'd speculate that it is more like 238mio.

It's quite embarrassing that we can't seem to get above (and stay above) 400 dollars.

AKA 90% of Bitpay merchants do convert to fiat. See how much worse it sounds when framed in that manner.

Anyone holding Ripple should be institutionalized. Yes, they distribute xrp all the time so the outstanding number changes all the time. However, its weird the price goes up with more and more being distributed. They must be doing something right? I'm currently waiting for their distributed number as of November 30th. https://www.ripplelabs.com/xrp-distribution/

Day traders. Dumpers. The fact that probably not even 1 out of 100 people in the general public use BTC.
