    A Computer Glitch Let a Trader Claim $20 Trillion in Free Bitcoin

    http://fortune.com/2018/02/21/20…

    An error in the price calculation system at Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Zaif has allowed some customers to claim digital tokens for free—including one who “purchased” $20 trillion worth of Bitcoin.

    That’s problematic on a number of levels, but among those is the fact that the total Bitcoin market capitalization is around $183 billion, according to CoinMarketcap.

    I still think we will revisit 45k and maybe even 50k. This rally has been extreme in many ways. I think I was lucky to guess the direction a couple of times, but every time the magnitude of the moves has been x2-x3 of what I was expecting. So fuck it, to 50k!

  • yuekit0

    Just got access to some Bitcoin from an old account. Is this a good time to sell? It's on a surge at the moment but all the recent rallies have collapsed so I'm wondering if this one will too.

    • hmm, Might as well hold onto it. It's peaked at what, 20k last December. It will probably get close to that this year.dorkKn1ght
    • why would it go to $20K again?monospaced
    • I think the trend will continue upwards (zoom out on the charts)Calderone2000
    • just because?monospaced
    • Wait for the big SEC announcement? Could crash again after of course but who knows...fadein11
    • in the middle term, this is a pretty good time to sell. I think it will dip in a big way one more time before we see the bull rally for this year.sarahfailin
    • if you can stand to hold on til late this year, you might be glad you did. the price has grown and moved logarithmically. that's why 25k is possible.sarahfailin
    • I sold for now. Chances are it will be rejected a 3rd time https://i.imgur.com/…
