Agh! I've only just realised that I was there just after the raid! About 1015 I was walking past Offlands Court when a police car trundled down the track towards me, went towards one property, then reversed and went to another. I did wonder what it was doing.

It's a bit of a strange story that one to be honest?? Very confusing. (Mind you, it is the Telegraph! )
They claim it tanked on Tuesday night, when in fact it had gone down by 11% during the course of Tuesday?? The fact that it is now back on the way up and has made 25% of the losses back tells me that the slump was bugger all to do with Facebook but more to do with a normal day in the life of the most volatile substance known to man!

I Bought £100 of bitcoin at about £12/BTC in 2011, It promptly crashed to below £2/BTC and I chalked it up as a lesson learnt. Eventually it rallied and I sold out at approx £450/BTC for a few grand profit in 2013 as I thought it was overvalued. Retrospectively this was a good time to sell as it then slid back down to below £100/BTC. I didn't rebuy at below £100/BTC as I had put all my free cash into a deposit for a house. IMHO, the current bitcoin price is far above its value. If I had to make a guess, I'd say it will be trading at approx £3000 after the next crash. Heading towards that £3000 value fast. Glad I haven't got a position at the moment. (Although the FTSE100 has lost all of Decembers gains too and I have skin in that game.)

I really do hope that Bitcoin actually disappears up it's own a**e altogether to be honest! It keeps dragging down the value of my bloody Altcoins/tokens!
That isn't even because the value of my tokens is changing, it's due to the fact that they are tied to the value of Bitcoin because that is what you buy them with.
Anyway, it's on it's way back up again now, for how long, who knows? There are plenty of big hitters out there currently spoofing the hell out of it.
But, the way I see it, when they have enough of what they want, they will (Hopefully!) force it back up the other way to maximise their returns.
Bet I miss the peak though!
I can see a pattern emerging here just by looking at my emoji's!!

watching from the sidelines but have seen on MSE the same mention regarding the idea that big hitters having control of the market and can push the price up.But surely now they need the smaller punters coming in at the bottom a bit like pyramid scheme's(and i said like not is ) to push it up hence all the Youtube videos etc trying to get people in

There is a lot happening in the crypto world at the moment and it is all having an effect on what is happening.
One of the interesting things for me at the moment is Trading Technologies teaming up with GDAX (fortune.com/2018/01/25/coinbase-gdax-futures-cryptocurrency/). That will be interesting when trading becomes mainstream.
Another interesting issue was the South Korean move. Instead of banning crypto exchanges, they are making them pay tax (A bit like a legitimate company then? )
Finally, Ripple have teamed up with some of the biggest trading houses in the world (Goldman Sachs etc.) and they are looking to use the Ripple network. Before people jump on that and say they are talking about the network, that is true, but in the article that the founder of Ripple has posted he states that XRP will be used to conduct the transactions beginning end of Q1 2018.
Will be interesting times.
As I said before, I am not overly exposed to any token/coin but I just have enough of a couple of them to make a difference if one takes off.

its not being helped by all the IPO that are launching/exploiting in the market place daily or things like Arsenal being sponsored by a gambling chip/token but is being called a coin anyway

I totally agree.
To reinforce the fact that people do not pay a lot of attention to what they are investing in though, have a look at this: uetoken.com/
This proves that people really need to actually look at what the hell is going on out there.
What's even crazier though, 3 days ago this "Currency" hit $0.25 and the guy has issued 4 million of these tokens!
The guy who made this token believes in Crypto but wanted to make a point of how an ICO can be invested in blindly.

I PROMISE!!
