the emperor wears no clothes.....now people are seeing that bitcoin is useless for anything except gambling. it is not dollar. it is not gold. it is not visa. it is not bank.

People liquidate assets during December Holidays for buying presents, vacationing, and so forth.

In other news, water is wet.

As expected from a technical point of view. Meanwhile I have transactions stuck with over 40 euro's of fees. Pretty crazy and annoying. It's not my money and I warned for this still, I wish there was an easy way to up the fees or cancel transactions in this moment of collective panic. Or hey, perhaps I'm lucky and it gets back up in the mean time ;) I think there is money to be made helping people speed up their transactions for a fee.

Sure, check the S&P 500 index price. It always dips come December.
