did I miss something?
Wondering the same thing as my price alerts kept going off. Only took 5000 coins to drop it from 10k to 5k and I don't think I've ever seen an order book with buys so thin except for coins that were basically dead.
Yes very strange. Looking around it seems this is another case where btc got pulled out. Other markets seem bare too, albeit not the big ones ala doge.
Too many ICOs, and after all the scams, quite a few people seem to be out of spare BTC - so much of it has been redistributed from the many to a few, select scammers (devs who disappeared post-ICO), idiots (SYS) and rock starts (like jl777).
Unless the altcoin market cleans up its act so we can get more investment into the system, it's going to be coins competing ever-more-viciously with one another for a shrinking pie of BTC.
