RE: 8 years ago, Wired destroyed 13 Bitcoins "to make a point"
I could remember during Bitcoin’s early days, liquidity was thin, and there were very few investors in cryptocurrency markets. This state of affairs translated to wide price swings when investors booked profits or when an adverse industry development, such as a ban on cryptocurrency exchanges, was reported. The rise and fall of cryptocurrency exchanges, which controlled considerable stashes of Bitcoin, also influenced Bitcoin's price trajectory in which was now in control.
Indeed, but even as more investors and market makers poored in., volatility is still very high for an "established" market. Maybe leverage and lack of centralized controlplay a huge part in it.
Decentralization baby !
