we seen a similar thing with MTGOX.. the issue is the other exchanges blind sheep followed mtgox prices down. instead of severing the connection and letting mtgox fall by itself
bitcoin price vs value still has not hit its calculated bottom level. but its getting close.
i think its time other exchanges set aside FTX based partner exchanges rates. and not be so sheep following an exchange in demise
.. but then again.. the lower the price the better the discount to buy cheap coins. even im tempted to buy a load more even though i have more hoard than i need already
Mt Gox, there is a name I have not heard in a long time. FTX most probably will not survive in the coming days.
For me, it's an wonderful (once in a lifetime) opportunity to score some more bitcoins at a cheaper price. People who have surplus money, can average out their buying price during this period. The market will be up pretty soon!
The price for BTC is currently under $16,000 but I would not call it an opportunity to buy at a cheaper rate. The market is too volatile, the price could drop much lower.
Imagine how happy all those people with $17,000 buy orders must be right now...
I suspect they wished they had purchased at the current price of less than $16,000
It may seem like a fire sale now, but if we continue to dip down to $13,000 it might look like the last bull trap... I'd be very careful rushing in to buy here. There are a lot of coins hanging over the market that need to be sold. Between FTX unwinding leverage, mtgox coins set to be distributed sometime next year, and now the US government sitting on a massive stack they will need to auction, it seems like there's good reason for the market to be on sale. Hopefully at some point there's a big buyer like Apple or Amazon, but with the recession coming and those companies already pausing hiring, it looks likely that any future investment is a ways off.
I agree, rushing in to purchase at this moment might not be very a good idea. That recession you mentioned has already started and it is hitting hard in many parts of the world, we have no idea when the price will hit $20,000 again.
Imagine those people who already bought at $17k and now they see how is at $16.5 and keeps going down.
Even if $17k looks low this is not the end of the run... And don't forget the panic sales, that will make the crash even harder. Is hard to know what to expect now, anything can happen.
Maybe a big whale see this as a nice opportunity and send the price back to $20k or even higher, just grab some popcorn and enjoy the madness.
My sentiments exactly.
