yeah, but just look at the trading volumes on Finex since the shenanigans and the 'bail ins' there.
Where has it gone?
You think I am alone in representing an example of a person who is 100% through with Bitcoin, for good? Must be tens of thousands of people who have moved their balls of capital out of the Bitcoin sphere once and for all, hence the anaemic cross exchange USD volume. This pump has more to do with China than ever before, and for all we know, 90% of it could just be a computer algorithm churning out numbers.
i'll bet that gox took out a vast number of the bitcoin old guard, but they were very, very stupid to remain in there until the end.
as for bitfinex, i see a lot of people rage quitting only to sneak on back a few days later. but i'm sure a lot of people have been burnt and walked away.
