It certainly has been another disappointing 24 hours of trade for the crypto traders.
On Thursday morning the cryptocurrency market is a sea of red with all the top 50 coins in negative territory.
This has led to the value of the entire market falling 5.5% since this time yesterday to US$194.2 billion according to Coin Market Cap.
While crypto giant Bitcoin (BTC) has plunged lower and at one stage dropped below the symbolic US$6,000 mark, the declines have been much more severe among the alt coins.
This decline could have been triggered by comments from the president of Hong Kong-based Bitcoin wallet company Xapo.
Its president, Ted Rogers, tweeted that "We could be in the midst of the extinction-level event for "cryptoassets" that many maximalists have predicted. 90%+ of CoinMarketCap list will disappear eventually – might as well happen now."
Rogers remains positive on Bitcoin's prospects, though, and has suggested traders buy the dip.
Here is the state of play on Wednesday morning:
The Bitcoin price has recovered slightly and is down just 2.6% over the last 24 hours to US$6,130.67, leaving it with a market capitalisation of US$105.5 billion.
The Ethereum (ETH) price is down 9.1% since this time yesterday to US$263.13 per token. This reduces Ethereum's market capitalisation to US$26.7 billion.
The Ripple (XRP) price is 5.6% lower during the period to 26.55 U.S. cents, leaving the alt coin with a market capitalisation of just under US$10.5 billion.
The Bitcoin Cash (BCH) price has tumbled 8.4% since this time yesterday to US$490.55. The Bitcoin spin off now has a market capitalisation of US$8.5 billion.
The Stellar (XLM) price is off 5.5% over the last 24 hours to 21.41 U.S. cents. This reduces Stellar's market capitalisation to just over US$4 billion.
Outside the top five things were equally bleak. The EOS (EOS) price is down 5.7%, Litecoin (LTC) has fallen 7.2%, Tether (USDT) has edged almost 0.1% lower, Cardano (ADA) has plunged 12%, and Monero (XMR) has lost 11.2% of its value.
