Yes the Mt Gox Trustee has sold off 40K of BTC in 5 stages from Dec to Feb 6, starting with 2K mid-Dec when BTC was $19K - and then with 3 tranches of 6K in Dec and twice Jan when the BTC price was about $17.5K and $13.5K and $11k, before the final sale of 18K BTC 6 Feb when the BTC price was about $9K and we had that one day crash to $6K. Interestingly the fall in BTC price on the day of each of those 5 sales by the Mt Gox Trustee was about $2-3K before recovering, and the market seemed to handle the increased volume of BTC for sale pretty well. Worryingly however the Mt Gox Trustee still has 162K of BTC in Mt Gox wallets overhanging the market, and how the market would handle a fire sale of significant amounts of this BTC is unclear. And it’s unclear if the Trustee is going to sell more BTC after going quiet for a month, but it’s the nature of bankruptcy receivers to realise all assets at whatever price unfortunately.
Yeah I think all this Mt Gox stuff is bearish for BTC, while that 162K of BTC is overhanging the market - and there will be a lot of shorting of BTC and selling it on whatever rumours start up. I think before this crash is over we will see a $5K BTC price, and we may see a $3K BTC price as a lot of good technical analysts have been predicting as the low point. But who knows - there’s likely many a twist and turn left in this tale yet!
Does that mean we'll have a few months of suffocation? I think that after reading this post I will seriously consider selling my altcoins and staying in the usdt for a long time while I wait for this crisis to pass, it would be wiser because a $3000 drop is something very bad for me that after having bought a lot for price of $900 I was buying for the price of $3000, $5000 and in much higher values and if it drops to $3000 I will be with huge losses and as I do not know if these powerful guys can dump their bitcoins even more, then usdt becomes the best alternative temporarily... I'll think about it
500$ ?
Why the hell did you have to post this option?
First of all, if i were you i would just hold for various reasons:
1- USDT is a scam, they don't even give you the guarantee you can cash out (it's written on their site). This implies that if everybody one day wants to cash out USDT, chances are they don't have all those dollars. So USDT it's not exactly "safe" like FIAT
2- In any case, you should have invested the money you can afford to lose, so even if you lose the money invested in Bitcoin, you should be able to keep living. So i don't see why you panic for so little. You already know that if you HODL 1+ years you will profit heavily, so why don't you just wait one year and avoid wasting time looking at the graphs? You save a lot of time and you profit. Win-win for you
3- $500 is very unlikely, yes, but the Elites want to cause panic to make people sell and give them crypto at a cheap price. BTC will become crazily costly in the years to come, likely around $100000 in the 2020 and they want to profit from this. They are late, as crypto is already expensive now, but they still want to solve this problem by making the coins cheap temporarily, so that they buy low.
It is possible that they will be spreading panic news and temporarily make the price drop heavily, i cannot exclude that, but keep in mind: it would be
just temporary, a matter of weeks or months if you are unlucky. Crypto is the future and will be a boom in the
decades to come. If it were a bubble, they would not make efforts against it
This strategy explained in point 3) is similar to what they do with poor countries like Ukraine. They caused the big crisis in Ukraine , and now guess what are they doing? American bigs are investing heavily in real estate in Ukraine at a very cheap price now, they are like colonizing it,
so that they will profit one day when Ukraine will improve naturally and the value of the houses and terrains there will skyrocket.p.s. yeah ok, when i indicated the $500 price i was exaggerating a bit. But honestly i would not be scared if it happens, i would be happy and take advantage of it by buying low! Because i know it's just temporary and artificially made by the Elites, and in any case the Bitcoin will be in the hundreds of dollars in less than 5 years
