? Have we dipped low enough where there's "blood in the streets?" According to crowd sentiment, there's quite a bit of #FUD & #bearishness for $BTC, $ETH, $BNB, $SOL, & $ADA.

However, many consider this to be a good opportunity to buy the dip.
U.Today reminds the crypto community that they should do their own research in the crypto space. Crypto prices can show extreme volatility, so one must not spend on them more than one can afford to lose.
