Bitcoin is an asset unlike any other. Not only are prices impacted by normal market participants buying and selling, but miners powering the underlining network<\/a> with massive BTC reserves can also have an even greater effect.<\/p>\n

Several large miners were seen moving “unusually large” sums of BTC overnight, just ahead of the massive market collapse. Could they be responsible for the most recent plummet in Bitcoin price below $11,000? And why are these miners suddenly selling their cryptocurrency when the asset is supposed to be in a new bull market?<\/p>\n

When Bitcoin was created, it gave birth to new financial technology. There’s the cryptocurrency itself, and then there is the blockchain network these tokens underpin.<\/p>\n
The health and function of these networks, as well as how decentralized they are can have a dramatic impact on the value of an asset.<\/p>\n

The miners that help secure and operate the Bitcoin network, often need to sell the cryptocurrency in order to fund operations. Miners may wait until prices are higher to do so<\/a>. With Bitcoin trading over $10,000 over the last couple of months, miners may have decided it was the right time to offload some supply.<\/p>\n
According to fully transparent blockchain data<\/a>, miners began moving an “unusually large” sum of BTC to exchanges. Bitcoin had already fallen below $12,000 at that point.<\/p>\n

Miners are moving unusually large amounts of #BTC<\/a> since yesterday. #Poolin<\/a>, #Slush<\/a>, #HaoBTC<\/a> have taken the bitcoins out of the mining wallets and sent some to the exchange.https:\/\/t.co\/NcLmXvZmOD<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/N3E3mX4QKn<\/a><\/p>\n
