interest rates are nothing compared to staking returns on pos tokens, what were witnessing is the end of POW coins like bitcoin

This is more of the same. When bitcoin price is rising we see all types of predictions trying to guess it's new ath. When bitcoin price is declining, we see all kinds of predictions trying to guess it's new bottom. It's easy to make predictions in the direction of the market, because it's already heading in a certain way, so maybe they will be right.

You are quite bold though, because you say a couple of months, and you go as far as $100, and that is just crazy. Set up a real date and a trusted escrow in this forum and I'm sure a lot of users would gladly take your bet.

It's nothing to do with interest rates - they would need to be in the 1000s of percent or more so that inflation becomes 1000s of percent as well, thereby significantly decreasing the value of fiat/ USD. Interest rates of 1% have very little impact other than a tiny cost to borrowing and very long term impact on GDP. They have no effect on the price of bitcoin and other coins.

I don't think so at all.

The USD is in a longterm downtrend and has most recently devalued against the EUR and other currencies despite the prospect of rising interest rates. Calling the USD a safe haven is totally misguided. the most important traditional safe haven is gold - which during the last few months has increased in value against the USD as well.

The influence of interest rates on crypto valuation is close to zero. The most probable real reasons behind the current correction are:

1. Normalization of an overheated market (more than 10x increase in USD valuation during 2017)

2. US banks restricting credit card purchases of cryptos

Maybe your statement above was maybe true but you don't have enough evidence as a source of why these are the real reason why bitcoin massive declines in the markets. We don't even know what is the main reason behind these facing issues of bitcoin, why the price is not raising up besides of steady movements of bitcoin at a range of 10k USD to 9KUSD. We can make a lot of prediction or something FUD on bitcoin.


That's really the real reason of massive declines price of bitcoin, if you try to look back the chart price of bitcoin compared last few years.
January and February month is a bloody month of all crypto currencies.

Honestly this has absolutely nothing to do with interest rates. It is a simple ploy of major governments, their respective financial institutions and their media puppets first of all discrediting bitcoin, then now using the opportunity to either ban and restrict the purchase of bitcoin, or limit  how and where bitcoin transactions can occur. Let us not forget that there was already limited places where bitcoin could be used. Now if you an investor, and these major regulators of the worlds economy have come out to limit how your asset can be used, thinking from an investors point of view you would cash in and save what you can, because you will feel “trapped” be an asset you can’t really use, or has been said bad things about. Fear creeps in, and it is only human for you as an investor to react in such a manner. Unfortunately the the fall of bitcoin is also affect the other altcoins.

I believe this big move down was caused by the systematic plan of big players and panic around all hacked trade markets.

yeah go visit a doc first.... 

According to my observations of the butcoin community as well as other communities that support other tupes of cryptocurrencies, the most prominent reason of the decline in the value of the respective cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc., is the amount of people that practice panic selling which really hurts the value, aside from that the common fluctuations itself has been a great contributor for cryptocurrency loss.
