Vielleicht einfach wegen der Tatsache, dass ein Bitcoin selbst bei 70% Minus vom Top immer noch fünf Mal so teuer ist, wie vor einem Jahr.

Solche Kursrücksetzer gab es schon einige, auch in dieser prozentualen Größenordnung.

The April 2013 Meltdown

The first crash we’ll take a look at in this article is the meltdown of April 2013. In the early days of spring in 2013, Bitcoin experienced a massive drop from $237 USD down to just $67 overnight. After this massive fall, the currency took more than six months to recover.

The root cause of the April 2013 collapse was the impact of Bitcoin’s first major encounter with the mainstream media. Having never risen above $30 before, Bitcoin experienced a meteoric rise in value due to a flood of media coverage that caused it to reach over $237 USD per unit. The crash that followed reflected a correction to overly enthusiastic adopters. Some speculative investors also attribute this crash, at least in part, to a long outage at Mt. Gox, which was at the time the most heavily used Bitcoin trading platform.

The 2013 Bubble

For the majority of 2013, Bitcoin sat at around $120. In the fall of the same year, however, the currency experienced a 1000% price increase, reaching a then-astronomical price of $1,150 per coin in late November. By mid December, however, prices had plummeted to less than $500 USD. The resulting loss in value took more than four years to recuperate, only reaching over $1,000 again in 2017.

The 2013 bubble is attributed to a classic bubble model, caused by amatuer investors haphazardly rushing to board the crypto gravy train. The feeding frenzy was exacerbated by regulatory bodies around the world adopting a more positive view of Bitcoin as a whole, and the establishment of US-based exchanges such as Coinbase. Perhaps Bitcoin would have recovered faster if it were not for the next calamity to occur in our crash retrospective.

The 2014 Mt. Gox Disaster

The price of Bitcoin was slowly but surely recovering from the impact of the 2013 bubble burst, achieving stability at around $837 USD in early February 2014. In the same month the price of the currency suddenly fell to $439, representing a drop of 49%. This rapid loss in value began a long winter period for Bitcoin, which lasted until Q4 2016.

The sudden drop in price that occurred in early 2014 was caused directly by the announcement from Mt. Gox, one of the largest Bitcoin trading platforms, stating that a large-scale hack had occurred. On the 7th of February, the exchange halted all withdrawals, revealing that the hackers had absconded with more than 850,000 Bitcoins. Whether or not the loss was a result of the hack or due to poor bookkeeping on the exchange’s behalf is a matter of open debate, but there’s no doubt that the event negatively impacted the price of Bitcoin for several years.

The 2017 Summer Selloff

In the early days of 2017, Bitcoin was reaching the apex of a steady climb in value, reaching the $1,000 level for the first time in years. Investor confidence caused the price to surge, which caused the value of a single Bitcoin to approach $3,000 USD. By mid-July, however, the currency lurched back rapidly, dropping 36% to just $1,869.

The new Bitcoin boom was caused by an impending change, called the fork, to Bitcoin’s canonical blockchain, which degraded investor confidence. This lack of confidence manifested as jitters in the market, with many investors frantically selling, resulting in a significant price drop.

Tether was founded in November 2015.[11] The company is incorporated in Hong Kong with offices in the United States.[12][13] Tether is closely connected with Bitfinex, which is ranked around the third largest cryptocurrency exchange (by volume) in the world.[14]

The Tether model is to hold all United States Dollars in reserve[3] so that it can meet customer withdrawals upon demand.[9] Tether purports to make reserve account holdings transparent via external audit; however, currently no such audits exist.[5] In January 2018 Tether announced that they no longer had a relationship with their auditor.[21] In December 2017 announced that they were suspending the ability to redeem tokens for fiat pending 'migration to a new platform'.[22]

Tether is not a legal tender currency or a financial instrument.[26] The ownership of Tether has no contractual rights, other legal claims, or guarantees against losses.[6]
