Bitcoin Forum

hi guys
i don't have so much clue about dark webs.
but i was wondering about the bitcoins crash the last days!
now a good friend told me one of the largest markets went down called Agora?
is that the answere to the crashing bitcoin last days?

Very unlikely, one does not steal a shitload of bitcoins from illegal business and go dump them in exchanges, well, you can but you'll probably get caught.

It seems the crash was caused by something called "margin call" in bitfinex...

The really interesting issue here isn't bitcoin’s software but how hard it can be for a group - especially a globally dispersed group known for its libertarian and in some cases anarchist leanings - to make decisions.

Most people see 'wait and see' as a bad decision for some reason.
But sometimes it's the best decision as long as while you wait, you are preparing for what you might see.

Agora has been offline for some time now according to various reddit threads. According to one of them the Bitcoins deposited to accounts there are entirely controlled by Agora until they are used to make purchases so an exit scam would be feasible. Only time will tell if it's really an exit scam but Agora must control a huge quantity of coins.

if they want, they can stole a lot of bitcoins and then becoming whales dumping their coins
