Bitcoin approaches 10k?
According to this image taken from a reddit post a trade was made on the exchange CampBX in the BTC/USD market, where someone bought Bitcoin(s) for the price of $9799, then dropping back to $800, and slowly regressing back to the normal price of around $660 currently at time of writing. No one knows why the trade went through in the first place, but many on reddit are speculating that it was most likely on accident.I don’t think that’s possible as if you check markets, 131.343 Bitcoin was transacted at this price, before the next trade. Maybe its an overzealous investor that heard about the recent Marshal Auction? Who knows?
