Another reason for the price slum is simply no ones transactions are confirming. Plain and simple.
Feel free to leave the thread open - I'm curious to hear of anyone else who can say "I told you so"
Funny that any of you would want to 'lock' this thread so early, I concur this question has been asked 100's of times a day on this site, and the answered as well, but this is the first time I have seen somebody ask for a lock on this topic, obviously this OP hit a nerve.
The MUSK purchases were insane,
The China deal is super funny "Who could have known that China owns all the mining on earth?" Sheesh, you people crack me up
Want to make money going forward on Bitcoin, have a fly on the wall in CHINA and know the next region where the shut the power down on miners, and invest right before on Canadian BITCOIN-ETF funds, I think this is why we don't see these funds in USA, but CANADA is super close to China easy money.
Of course like they say "buy on rumor, sell on news", nobody knows when CCP will shutdown a mining region in advance other than insiders, and whose is to care about 'insider trading' in Canada, I suspect a good thing is to have a VIX for bitcoin-canadian etf's and watch it close
...
IMHO the BTC power problem in CHINA is why fee's sky-rocketed, but the real problem with price collapse is that we entered a bear-market on high-tech almost two months with the collapse of many large hedge-funds, lots of people bought into BTC the last six months, and everybody needs cash to cover their margin-calls ( 100's of billions ), which is why GOLD is down, and now BTC is down
Once BTC is down 20% like now, then all of MUSKS gains and other CEO idiots gains are at risk, so "SELL"
You haven't seen anything yet, in the coming days & weeks it will be a bloodbath
Will it return like it always does before, it all depends if truth be told that BITCOIN is a criminal worldwide operation, or if the LIARS will continue to dominate the media?
In China, people are fed up with MUSK. In the USA much of the elite are almost fed up with "WOKE", once CNN is pulled down, and the liars at MSNBC are culled, and the news media starts telling the truth about BITCOIN, and how its just one big China collusion with miners, exchanges, ... the ski will fall.
On the other hand, if pumpers&dumpers are convinced there are more suckers to rob, then the PONZI will continue.
It's clear that the robinhood skimmy-check folks have moved on, which is why now DOGECOIN has made people rich, and BITCOIN is a loser game.
