Hey I'm all about playing this game, don't get me wrong. It just amazes me why everyone keeps scorning the noobs while they so dearly need them for mass adoption.

Also, zeroday, while the flash-crash may be over, this one was unusual - earlier, flash-crashes only followed parabolic unsustainable rises. Now it followed a slow topping-out and start of a slow descent.

We'll see how bullish you're staying the next few weeks.

Just because people differ on view doesn't constitute it as "scorning".

EXAMPLE:

Noob thinks it is time to sell.


I think it isn't.


Noob sells.


I LOL.

(that isn't scorning).

there was a pop probably because everyone was sitting around expecting one. is it a case of self-fulfilling prophecy? it didn't move THAT much anyways.

It wasn't a pop. It was a bleed. A long overdue correction due to a lightning fast unhealthy rise.

I LOLed at the bolded part.  Cheesy

I agree the U.S. dollar and other fiat currencies are unhealthily dropping in value in relation to Bitcoin.

What's wrong with being a weak hand? They will either learn the lesson, or go with their money in fiat.

Don't we need mass adoption? That being, not scaring away the 'weak hands'? Everybody here wants the 1 million USD bitcoin, yet everyone gloats when the noobs get hurt in crashes like these. It's a bit dual, isn't it?

Noobs are playing a game they chose to play. Most of them aren't even aware they are playing a game. All market based trading is a zero-sum game. Someone has to lose when someone else wins. Either accept it or go play some Co-Ed Volleyball where they don't keep score.

Every time it happens, more and more people become immune to these flash-crash manipulations.

I suspect that even some "manipulators" have losses when they dump huge amounts to initiate panic, but then cannot re-buy at reasonable price because other traders just rush buying "cheap coins".

It wasn't anything but weak hands being flushed out. Expect another large jump ATH this week.

Those "weak hands" that are "shaken out" are the ones you so dearly need for mass adoption, remember that.

Today the price had a significant dip.

I've already heard many speculations about the reasons for it. Some say it's because of Black Friday, others because of this fake disclosed private addresses list.

What's your opinion? What caused it?
