Contest Theme: The Instability of the Crypto Market.

--- It seems that a temporary calm prevails in trading today, Sunday, for the cryptocurrency market, which incurred violent losses throughout the sessions of the week, as the market fell to the level of a year ago. Traders have recalled the crashes of July 2021, during which the crypto market lost hundreds of billions after a violent escalation by the Chinese authorities.. However, the past few hours witnessed a temporary consolidation of cryptocurrencies. Our Crypto Academy invites you to write about what happened, the link that can be made between the stablecoins and cryptocurrency market and what to expect by following the following questions. ---

What is Expected in the Contest?

--- * Most of the cryptocurrency market is currently experiencing a sharp decline, especially in recent days. What do you think of this drop? State its causes and how long do you think it will continue in this downtrend? * Why doesn't this drop in the price of a few coins decrease their trading volume (eg: Bitcoin)? How will they deal with this market instability? * What is the relationship between the current instability and the downfall of the Terra ecosystem and its Luna currency? Do you think its price will bounce back? If so, tell us how and when? * Our Steem ecosystem, like most currencies, has been affected by this market downturn, has this caused you as a user some stress? Or are you still confident in this project? Give your opinion, specifying the arguments that support your review ---
