Do not care these flash crash, hold your bitcoin in the storm comes, tomorrow the price would to the mars.

The more experienced flash crashes, the price will be more stable. This is one reason for long-term holding Bitcoin

wish you are right, but the key is how to avoid flash crashes

the price is going to fall $350. when does it flash jump?

At least you can say the price is stable now. Try to comfort yourself under any circumstances

what you mean? the price is below $330, and broken $300 soon

huh, it should broken $400 soon Roll Eyes

Flash Crash.... Interesting theory.... Is there any way to manipulate this crashes... In that case it would be pretty obvious.

Crashes are the effect of manipulation (some times at least). I guess you mean to take some advantage of a crash by selling high and rebuying at a lower price which is how everyone in the speculation sub forum loses money Grin

Do you want to be a prophet?

The list can go on and on, including Morgan Stanley in 2004, Lehman Brothers in 2001. The question is, why flash crashes happen and how to avoid them?

This stuff seems interesting to me but I lack background, background that is not so easy to find. Do you have good links for more basic questions: "What precisely is a flash crash?", "Why are they considered bad?", "Are they actually bad?".

The US government seems to believe that 'flash crashes' are 'bad' as after the dow dropped ~1,000 points in only a few minutes the SEC instituted new trading rules that were designed to prevent future flash crashes.

I am not entirely sure why many people consider them to be bad, as I would argue that they are simply the market allowing to "discover" the price of a security on it's own

Market pricing is illusory

Whether Marx or Adam Smith, the market needs to be forced managed by government in the back

Contrary to many people's intuition, full transparency sometimes implies unfairness and hurt average users in one way or another.

Dark pools give an unfair advantage to hf/algorithmic traders... Transparency never hurt anyone. I wonder how you come to that conclusion Roll Eyes

maybe the answer is "Things are always two sides...", lol

a-ah, flash crash

I am really curious what the price will be like that, I can't imagine the price will stay this low after this month, I know many people are trying to pool fiat to make purchases at monent price.

next week is payday for alot of people, maybe we see some sort of rebound Tongue

Do you think what happens if the ETF launches and isn't the savior what next?

If you have an outstanding buy order at ridiculously low levels and it gets filled in a flash crash, you wouldn't think that these crashes are bad, right?
