As for the topic, the US court approved the sale of over 69,000 bitcoins. Some say this is the main reason for the recent dump, although it would be a bit strange as I hear the approval took place on 30th Dec, and we've seen the price going up to above $100k since then before dipping again.
Could it be that releasing the news now is just an attempt of market manipulation?
