It was already in the crosshairs; the government had its eye on it (just one example: [1]), the press has been making bold claims about the naked money printing, its reputation along with Bitfinex soured, and yet here we are again.
I have no strong opinion either way (although call me skeptical). I am baffled, however.

- snayan 6y agoOh got it. I guess the bull run is even more aggressive since the 15th, but it's been on a run for a lot longer than that imo. Thanks for the references, I get what you're saying now!
