It appears that with the amount of volume that came along with the $6k low it is definitely a solid floor. A floor that will rise over time, as bitcoin tends to do.
If that's the lowest it goes from here on out I'd be quite pleased even if we're far down from the ATH.

I can now say that I am not sure about this issue as the rise can continue after that. But for me, a decline will continue and I think Bitcoin will continue to rise later.

...
Yet the price of Tether haven't really crashed. BUT... what has crashed is all the crypto market which I think could be related. What if it was Tether/Bitfinex that had USDT somewhat backed.... NOT by USD but by a mix of USD, BTC and many other crypto?
If that were the case they would have been forced to liquidate those crypto assets to maintain the USDT peg stable. And, having to back more than 2 billion dollars overnight requires a lot of dumping, which causes panic and many other people dump too. Also as the price of the crypto assets go lower, more (coin units) dumping is required to extract the same value.... and there you have your doom circle.
Is that what has happened? Maybe, or at least it has been one in many factors behind the "crash".
Good post. What if I told you that actually a Bitfinex employee (bfx_drew) (accidentally?) blurted out exactly this a few weeks ago?  Most of us know that it is highly unlikely that institutional investors have wired 2.2 billion $ and 85 M € to a sketchy entity like Tether. However, it is entirely possible that Tethers are actually backed by cryptocurrencies. E.g. exchanges like Binance make a ton of income in trading fees, but they collect it in various altcoins and not in fiat and they surely would prefer to hold it in a stable coin like USDT instead of random altcoins. That this could be a problem in the event of falling prices is obvious as @bitserve correctly pointed out in his post. That would also make some sense as to the timing of the Friedman LLP audit being terminated. |

Was out of the office a couple of days. Today I heard a couple of collegues actually sold at the bottom! Shaking out the weak hands really works..... =(
Never owned more bitcoin than I do today. I am a lousy trader, which fortunately I know, so I haven’t had so little fiat for quite a while. Many are in for gaining dollars, euros or whatever fiat currency (not judging, perfectly normal). Few want to take the risk of accumulating a fixed stake in a truly decentralized ledger with mostly still unknown potential. I feel fortunate being able to spend most of my pay so frivolously. Minor quibble: The potential is known. The degree to which that potential will end up being realized, and the timetable, is the unknown. |

I'm still kind of coming to grips with the fact that a man just put his version of a lambo IN ORBIT...with a final destination of MARS...
I Like what Mr. Musk did with that car  (This pic is real)  I somehow missed the car in that. Had to go back to double check, damn that guy is all the good kinds of crazy. And the stereo is playing "Space Oddity". I wonder if you can here music from a car stereo in mars thin atmosphere? |

At least the crash made the fees go lower.
I was able to send bitcoin to a brand new wallet, to claim my BTG using the old one.
However, I just discovered today, after synching the entire BTG blockchain, that this altcoin have no replay protection.
All the operations were replayed in the BTG chain. Im very sad, cant reclaim it.
I will be more careful with those forks now.

I guess next time we will have to use rockets we will have to remember of this spacex day. It's no coincidence we had a leg up during these days.

What are you talking about? It does have replay protection. In fact BTG have different addressing than BTC. What did you use to claim it? |
