    Bitcoin Price Drop

    Any recent news as to why? Is it just normal market volatility? I'm new to bitcoin so I was wondering if you guys think I should just weather the storm or liquidate fast?

    Someone picked a time of day when liquidity looked low and tried to dump a lot to manipulate the price seems the most likely explanation.

    The drop halted pretty quickly once action heated up in the market.

    Thanks! I guess I need to get used to this volatility if I plan on using coins as an investment. Do you invest in them Optional?

    Holding some for the long term but not really looking at it day to day investment wise.

    I haven't sold in a while so I'm not sure about that. I just took a couple hundred bucks and put it over there for long term. I guess it'll pay off or disappear.
