Margin Trading and Flash Crashes

[zachcope]

I'm generally a buy and holder rather than a trader but would love to increase my BTC holdings towards my own BTC long term target.

Consequently I used a little BTC on a margin trading platform to leverage my position long.

I survived the flash crash today but do wonder if there are some large players creating these crashes just to wipe out people's margin positions.

It would make sense as the seller could buy back up without much net loss but with the benefit of taking down various leveraged positions if they were running a trading site.

Seems more profitable than trying to increase one's BTC or US$ holdings that way as the market in general is recovering very quickly after each whale dump.

Thoughts?
Who are the biggest BTC margin trading players?

not sure who the biggest players are or if they are engaging in these practises but it's quite possible that they are. I have just started doing some margin calls also - which platform are you using?
