I voted yes, with the minority and as usual, it was the minority that was right, which means the majority here are chumps.
Lol no one could have predicted Cryptsy shutting down. No one could've predicted that Mike Hearn would quit either.
It's important to understand that these are the reasons why bitcoin went down $400. It was not something easily seen like how the bitcoin halving is going to be easily seen as a price booster.
Blah blah fucking blah.
These aren't the 'reasons' Bitcoin has went down. These are the 'reasons' that the Market Makers have taken advantage off to knock the market down where they were gonna knock it down to anyway, after all 'they' brought it up way higher than it ought to have ever gotten in the first place. With the added fear in the market, they could knock her down much quicker than may otherwise be prudent, cos you know, 'they' don't lose when 'they' knock BTC down. Joe Public does.
Had the Market Makers wanted this market to go up. Then the Mike Hearn news would be shown to have a 'postive' effect as follows: "
Finally, Bitcoin is free of it's awkward brother who was holding it back. Now it is unhindered to grow to its full potential" Had 'they' chose to support and then ramp the market, this would be precisely the sort of bullshit story that people on this forum would be subscribing to and propagating.
Anyone who tries to make sense of this market via the medium of 'news' events or Fundamental Analysis 101, is welcome to do so........it's just that they are going to go arond with their heads full of shit regarding Bitcoin.
