I wonder if you're right. This video about f2pool and reasons brought by it's author are very convincing.
Not to mention the fact, that this is second time large part of BTC has been moved from this mining pool lately. And both times almost instantly markets turned red.
What I found interesting is info (which I've read somewhere) that most of those large quantities of BTC were moved from f2pool directly to exchanges. And most miners do not do that. Selling so many BTCs this way would be very inefficient for them, however it would cause instant flash-crash.
The reason of the "dump" is the growth of BTC price.
I'm not talking about reason of the dump, but about even that triggered it. And I strongly believe that f2pool was such a reason, and it may be simply worth to pay more attention to this mining pool in the future.
Thanks for dropping by :)

I saw several versions of this "trigger" like fud from US officials, issues on Kraken and etc. Some of them look convincing, some don't. I don't think we will ever know what was the actual trigger.

Perhaps you're right @cryptohumster
The thing is, that FUD cannot be measured. There is no data to do that. At the same time blockchain allows us to monitor and analyze tons of data that is available and make some decisions based on it.
Right now I consider F2pool a main reason behind the current dump and I would connect it with futures on bitcoin, which is closing today.
It does look like some market makers really badly needed to dump price as much as they could. Probably because they were shorting BTC and today those future contracts will be closing.
The fact that those mined BTC has been transferred to exchanges is another indication. From what I've learned - miners and serious whales do not dump their BTC on exchanges. It's not financially efficient. So this move has been most likely done because of an attempt to bring the price down. And it's a costly process, which can be explained with those mentioned futures contracts.
That's how I see it anyway. Thanks for dropping by :)

Yes, this makes sense. Especially if you check net stats for Miners (i've mentioned today it in my post). In general, miners are not selling BTC right know, or at least sell less BTC then they did during January market dump. In other words, the behavior of this pool doesn't align with others.

true more and more miners are not selling btc. In a day though they liquefied around 5billion btc from pools, in one day i repeat. That was the reason of the dump. After 1-3 days (i don't recall) microstrategy bought more btc, i think 1 billion! :P

I must confess that I know practically nothing about BTC Futures, it is not something I would go into, I have not studied it, but I do see that it has a great importance in the price variations of bitcoin, and of course, of the other cryptos.

Dear friend @crypto.piotr I saw, the lack of understanding goes a long way. Even so, owning one is still beyond the reach of the average person. Feeling good about getting accepted. Intention not to back down.Thanks you and your community,s members.

George's analysis in the video focuses on that direction, which I agree with.Have a great day!

Problem is that @ such heavy moves everything comes together: big seller (mining pool), automatic stop loss orders following, over leveraged gamblers loosing their temper, robots seeing the building momentum... its just crazy times...
