The BTC swaps went from 16k to 21k during that dump. USD swaps seem to be barely affected.

Predictions?

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

China still looks very bullish - so no not a wise move in my opinion

Ahh, I don't think it's a smart move. China still is in a full-bullish mode. Also, >3000 coins on finex and we are at $350. Thought that was worth mentioning. Wink

Old habits die hard. Perhaps it'll be the move of the century or the end of their dreams. I wouldn't be taking that type of risk right now myself.

not the worst move IMO i think they will see a chance to cover at a profit soon, but if they get greedy and wait for like <270 they could get burnt real hard. next week we may be at a point where we will never see sub 300 ever again

If they turn around China, then they made a good move. If not, someone will need some aspirin.

Bear will get slaughtered

Eventually this will happen.. when they have to start covering their shorts... you ain't seen nothing yet.

IMO this is one final pump and dump before the halving rise, I hope I am wrong.

Very brave move, but it may very well pay off big time. A correction is about to hit the price hard, it is just going to fast at the moment.

And if people start doing these kinds of stuff more, that also means those people are not putting any money on the other side anymore. Maybe they are even partially responsible for the price increase and are now fairly certain it will drop.

Volatility is higher now so it could easily go sub-$300 again.

sooner or later overconfident bears will go bust. The profit has to come from somewhere.

A lot of bulls will make money, that money will be partly because of new investors, but a large part will also come from broke bears.

Thanks for your donation infidels.

be short on Btc now has an high risk, the chines market is buying a lot, new users are coming to bitcoin, an old users are seeing this climbing movement as the prelude of the halving with big prices.

I am sure he had his reasons for the short. However one thing I don't understand is why do a market sell instead of using a hidden limit order.
