    Total market collapse in the last 24 hours.

    BTC being allowed to be shorted in our exchanges and the Vinklevoss twins provoking Dillon into shorting it are the reasons for the collapse.

    So when should we actually be worried? When it dips below the level of the previous "crash"? Like 9k?

    You should be worried when the price goes back up.

    This is the best time to buy. Don't be the guy who says "I really wish I bought in at 10k" three months from now.

    Price is being manipulated right now by a few select whales.

    Owner unloads for BTC Cash.

    Inside trading was obvious.

    Bitcoin is going to die a famous death.

    XRP for the win.

    I think it's very obvious to the average Joe how manipulated the market is at the moment.

    Some rumors are out there that Facebook will be accepting LC as a payment channel.

    Charlie Lee hinted at a “big announcement” via twitter on the 20th

    Of course it is - it always has been. But the average Joe never has a problem with that manipulation as long as it's being manipulated *upwards*.

    Seems highly unlikely. If you're Facebook, you're the big boy - you're not going to be the one propping up a currency that has very little infrastructure around it. Bitcoin would make sense in that it already has the infrastructure, but the transaction fees make that sort of pointless.

    And after their whole Russian ads fiasco and regulatory issues, I doubt they are going to do anything to make it easier to anonymously purchase ads.

    We rebounded greatly earlier today and then crashed hard again, so be careful.

    This, I'd think FB would try to make their own.

    Facebook Coin traded under FBC.

    Never know man, never know. When you buy, be okay with losing it all.
