As usual when an exchange has been hacked. The story repeats again and again, with a drop in the BTC price. Hopefully, it won't get an impact for more than 1-2 weeks. A good thing is this exchange is not popular, the sad thing is the news is published in Forbes, Bloomberg and other major media.

NO!!! this is ot about that!!!! bitcoin is down now because whales are getting f=ready for the rocket!
they are bagging more that what we expect ....
if you will see verythin you will understand more.

This is quite unfortunate to the bitcoin community. But the exchanges should know better that hackers are not sleeping and should have up their security game. The chain effect of that singular action is massively affecting the market price almost 11%. This is unbelievable, though the next support level is close to the price.

[cryptohunter]

this is just a small exchange and nothing much to worry about i really would not have thought 40M could reduce btc that much but still may contribute to this fall back

dont worry decentralised exchanges like blocknet and komodo are almost done

[mahibul49]

i dont think this is the reason behind this crash .btc will bounce back soon.just wait and see.
market is preparing for bullish run
just keep calm

[khufuking]

Hack after another this shit need to be stopped, yes I am angry but those morons who can not run an exchange should not run one, they need to know they are dealing with millions and probably billions of dollars, with this rate of fails crypto currency will go no where and no one to blame but cryptocurrency community .    . Every day I get confused more and more that decentralized exchanges is the answer to all this miss .

I agree that the main reason that constantly causes bitcoin to fall is the negative news background. Constant news about sanctions, criticism from bitcoin-haters, hacker attacks on popular crypto-exchanges and crypto platforms - all this negatively affects the growth of tokens and bitcoin. But an important reason for sharp fluctuations in a certain price range is also the fact that market participants are trying to find a "fair" price for bitcoin.

Yes decentralized exchangers like BarterDEX of Komodo will prevent and minimize this kind of news.

I agree with your view ! to launch an exchange plateform security is first before anything else. And it's the same thing for any other project.

[gentlemand]

You're welcome to use this as an excuse. I don't believe it's the reason. Korea is an irrelevant market in the first place. A Korean alt exchange is even less relevant. It was going to do this anyway.

[rudox]

Speculative market is always like that always reacting to market sentiments. This negative report has actually affected the price of Bitcoin. The exchange should work on their security and starts acting like an exchange of international repute. This is very bad news and my heart goes for those that loss their fund.

I totally disagree that bitcoin hacked in a single exchange can cause the price to dwindle to this level. Bitcoin reduction has not be and cant be attributed to a single cause. I think there is more to the cause bitcoin is under 7000 than an exchange hacked.

I doubt that is the reason for bitcoin's price decrease. Especially when the hackers didn't steal any bitcoins from the exchange. They have managed to rob few tokens from the exchange, most notably the Punxi X tokens in significant volumes. However, it is most unlikely that bitcoin's price has been affected by this reason as they don't have any co-relation. But I am also not able to find any other probable reason for bitcoin to go down either. The situation is confusing.

could it be that the stolen altcoin and btc are being sold off or people are just getting afraid and selling off to avoid stories?
