One thing I find interesting is people pretending the implosion of Bitmain is a non-factor in Bitcoin.  As I've said a billion times before, a single entity operating on Bitfinex controls the entire bitcoin market.  There are very few possibilities for this entity:

1)  Chinese mining cartel (Bitmain)

2)  Some TBTF Jew bank like Goldman Sachs

3)  The ESF

4)  The Bitfinex owners themselves operating in MtGox fashion (already know they're involved for sure as co-conspirators, but it might not be their money/trades and they might just take a cut as hush money)

In other words, if this single entity operating on Bitfinex that controls the entire bitcoin price turns out to be Bitmain and Bitmain leaves the market, this market is fucked.
