One theory is that it crashed because bitcoins were used as massively-leveraged (100x) collateral on certain exchanges (Bitmex mainly). There were margin calls and BTC positions were liquidated as a result. It crashed horribly but then soared a few hours ago on USA "infinite QE" news. I think it'll come out of all this looking good and more valuable than ever.

That - a rise - would have been my prediction from the start. I haven't been following it properly but for some reason I got a text from Revolut or something a few days ago and another today both informing me that Bitcoin was falling drastically, I haven't actually looked at how it's moving in real time so I could be way behind the curve. I mean I do have some Bitcoin - almost seventeen dollars worth - but I'm not really invested in its price.
