I feel like the skeleton waiting for the price to start uptrending again. With all the good news out there and price constantly selling off. Where is the legendary institutional traders to get us to over $1 trillion Crypto Market Cap?
What if they got in 5 years ago?
Let's hope not. In that case we must wait for retail to allocation 1%+ of invest-able assets.
Markets Legit got blasted and lost about 50 billion overnight again just crazy these wild swings freakin buy and HODL people :D
right, where is this 50 bln moving to? there must be so much market manipulation going on. Like even changing the price on BTC by $10 when you're investing several million can have a huge effect on profits
Thanks for sharing this news.
These swings are making me crazy @penguinpablo, we get good news which has zero effects, but a tiny bad news and everyone panics.
Damn market
Well it is a real massacre out there! Even when we take a look at the monthly chart!
Hope to see some green figures again!
Nice informations share .
