And the video clearly shows that was the Mt Gox exchange at the time. Gox was indeed a heavily manipulated market. That's well documented. All this illustrates is that when too much centralisation occurs, things are easily corrupted. The ecosystem has matured since then. People don't just rely on a single large exchange anymore. Also, this video speaks nothing of the true value of Bitcoin, which isn't purely about the price, as most people tend to mistakenly assume.
Yeah, as I noted, these were early years, for several reasons:
a) many people argue, that BTC is not a scheme, bc its 9 years old. This video shows very well, what those years are worth.
b) look closely at price changes / trade volume now. You see many similarities.
c) it also helps to understand, how BTC may have grown to currect price levels.
Anyway I wont stop here, I investigate this lead more.
About true value: ofc it is just price for now. Why else people pay hard money for buying digital zero? To sell it a greater fool...
