I have not found any real catalyst or news. Plenty of general bad press over the passed few days but nothing out of the ordinary.

Have I missed something?

Add some more tech, nothing beats averaging down!

Not out of the question

I’ve been watching Bitcoin course of trades
Sales are bits of coin
Buying full coins

Don’t think there is much of any understanding or reasoning
My view is that a lot of dabblers have dabbled and freaked at what
They made and lost in hours. So volatility of epic proportions.

But underneath there are long term holders who do take advantage of dips
They bought Back very strongly when bitcash dropped 79%
Only lasted minutes

The attack reportedly took place on 13 January after hackers managed to hijack its DNS server, change the settings and redirect it towards their own third-party server.

Many users have taken to social media, Reddit, Stellar and other cryptocurrency forums to warn others against logging into the compromised website and having their funds vanish from their wallets.

A lot of info here on cryptocoin news.

 

[DB008]

How, pray tell?

Streamlining
Cuts down on paperwork
Can't double spend/reverse transactions
Open ledgers (anyone can view/see)


Share trading. T2/T3 settlement for shares. Can be eliminated, settlement done instantly.
Can incorporate smart contracts into real-estate, buying/selling. 14 day building + pest/finance clause satisfied, can be set up to automatically trigger unconditional contracts.

Most of that doesnt require blockchain. In fact blockchain is a stupid way to do much of that.
