It's the definition of a flash crash. Happens all the time, just that the magnitudes a far bigger in crypto.
The liquidity on poloniex is poor daily volume is in the hundreds of thousands, rather than millions. I make the assumption an idiot set off a market sell order for a huge amount then the few noobs that keep tokens on exchange with limit order got wiped out.
Nature of the beast. 24hour markets with low liquidity carry this risk.
At least my crtypo exposure is just my men's toys money and my pension is in stocks , wait ......
Amazing how bitcoin holds up here. Monster selling, but tons of new tethers created to absorb. This could bounce heavily if it succeeds. But obviously, all these new positions will need to be sold back into the market, so it's only borrowed time eventually.
There are a couple of twitter accounts that are following it, every time there are new coins created and transferred.

Also, 95% of all tethers in circulation have been created since the 2020 selloff.

No doubt, we are living in a simulation.

Probably nothing.
The Biden administration is preparing to release an executive action that will task federal agencies with regulating digital assets such as Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a matter of national security, a person familiar with the White House’s plan tells Barron’s. The national security memorandum, expected to come in the next few weeks, would task parts of the government with analyzing digital assets and assembling a regulatory framework that covers cryptos, stablecoins, and NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, this person said. “This is designed to look holistically at digital assets and develop a set of policies that give coherency to what the government is trying to do in this space,” the person said. The State Department, Treasury Department, National Economic Council, and Council of Economic Advisers would be involved in the initiative. The White House National Security Council would also be involved, the person said, since crypto has economic implications for national security. Along those lines, the administration would instruct agencies to work on harmonizing regulations of digital assets between countries.
Barron's
Welcome news and long overdue
Agreed.

Well yes apart from the fact the US gov might be able to confiscate crypto without due process the rest is good
Someone thought I might be interested in this Board position and referred me - what an opportunity to change the world and make $$ billions at the same time!
This role is for a passionate GLOBAL INVESTOR (M/W) that aims to leave a legacy for society and have a stake in the next TRILLION DOLLAR GLOBAL UNICORN.
Our genuine global business culture is 100% fully decentralized with 60 team members, growing every month and spread out over more than 20 countries.
We are looking for a Global Investor with access to the Global Investment Community and Board position experience.
I think I'll have to pass though, wouldn't have enough time left to police Sales Corner and really cannot give up on that.
Anyone else interested and I can put you in touch? :encouragement:
A full 60? To big for me, needs someone like Bezos to manage that size of op

Everytime I read one of these stories, I am asking myself whether they are agreeing a fixed BTC amount and are taking the risk or if it is a pure gimmick of buying bitcoin with the Dollar/Euro salary and then changing it back. As I cannot see any commune taking the risk of bitcoin going through the roof, and salaries need to be fixed in terms of local currency, I bet you all of them are of the latter variety - meaning its a pointless stunt for the headlines only.
Reading the article, I don’t think he’s being paid in Bitcoin, it says he’s converting his salary to Bitcoin, which makes it even more of a non story.
I fell for it
Maybe more relevant this address has remarkable success buying high selling low,
Sold 1500 BTC and 67k and now buying again

Intel backing BTC
Intel will produce a Bitcoin Miner called Bonanza mine, to compete directly with all the Chinese companies (Bitmain, Antminer etc.). Already sold some to a partner, so it's not a rumor.
There's what appears to be a halfway decent analysis of Intel's recent teasers for their yet to be publicly announced/acknowledged SHA256 chips here.
I’m not so sure you can say Intel are backing BTC on the back of this story
In the California gold rush, the people selling the shovels made more money then most of the prospectors
I see it as more mainstream adoption / acceptance which is worth more in the long run
Just my view of course
Back over 38k, that GMT is getting more expensive by the day
I feel my offer is looking more and more reasonable … 😉
Anyway omincon beat me I'll take that to my grave
When in trouble, double!

Michael, why are the transactions getting smaller and smaller? Why not go in with a whole billion like you did when bitcoin was trading at $58,000?
What, you got no money left to buy? How unfortunate!

They are also due to release the Q4 financial results which will doubtless be read with interest in some quarters, as much for the presentation as the contents.

Can you explain why it’s called an impairment “charge”? It sounds like it’s some sort of fine that they have to pay to the SEC or Fed, but surely not.
Is it just a charge that has to be shown on paper due to the archaic SEC accounting rules?
If they were allowed to show the BTC gains and not ONLY the losses, their accounts would look rather healthier.
Sure. Let's change the internationally agreed accounting rules until they fit the special needs of your hero. I suppose we could also change the way that capital increases are accounted for so that they create less dilution? How about generally making sure numbers can only go up?
I am ignoring the first part of your question, I am sure your Google will be able to solve that for you.
This article written a couple of days ago discusses the point you make, or at any rate attempts to show how difficult it can be to incorporate 'digital assets' into current financial reporting practices.
Very helpful and interesting article, thanks Pete.
It certainly seems very odd, unfair even, that public companies with crypto on their balance sheets have to account for (paper) losses, but can never include subsequent gains if the value of their assets goes back up again.
What a nonsense.
The rules have been the same since forever, why would an exception be created for MicroStrategy? There have always been assets on balance sheets that have to be marked to lowest, and many technology companies have had problems with this. Another example is accounting for goodwill, which has led to similar SEC actions in the past.
And let's not forget that Saylor has previous, been charged for accounting fraud back in 2000 when Microstrategy materially overstated their revenues and the stock price fell 99% over the next two years.
Nice pay day for someone
