1. Mentougou Incident in February 2014
In February 2014, the Mt. Gox incident shook the entire cryptocurrency market. At the time, MTGOX, the world's largest Bitcoin exchange, was attacked by hackers, resulting in the theft of nearly 850,000 Bitcoins (about 7% of the world's total). This major security incident directly caused the price of Bitcoin to plummet by 80% and triggered a widespread crisis of trust around the world. The Mt. Gox incident is therefore remembered as one of the most serious disasters in the history of cryptocurrency.
II. The September 4, 2017 Regulatory Storm
In 2017, the cryptocurrency market experienced unprecedented volatility. Under the influence of a series of strict regulatory policies introduced by the Chinese government, the market value shrank sharply by 80% in just a few days, and countless investors suffered heavy losses. Although this storm brought huge economic losses, it also prompted people to have a deeper understanding of the complexity and high risks of the cryptocurrency market.
3. The market crash on March 12, 2020
On March 12, 2020, the price of Ethereum plummeted to below $80, a sudden market crash that shocked the entire cryptocurrency community. This incident once again highlighted the volatility and uncertainty of the cryptocurrency market, but despite the huge challenges, investors' enthusiasm and belief in cryptocurrencies remain firm.
IV. The May 19, 2021 contract liquidation wave
On May 19, 2021, an unprecedented wave of contract liquidations swept the entire cryptocurrency market. According to statistics, more than 600,000 contract investors suffered heavy losses overnight, and countless families were in trouble. This incident not only exacerbated the panic in the market, but also once again reminded people of the high-risk nature of the cryptocurrency market.
5. The Luna Black Swan Incident in 2022
In 2022, the Luna Black Swan incident became a major turning point in the cryptocurrency market. The incident not only triggered a widespread crisis in the field of decentralized finance (DeFi), but also had a profound impact on the entire market. The collapse of Luna not only exposed the potential risks in the DeFi field, but also prompted investors and market regulators to reflect more deeply on the stability and security of the cryptocurrency market.
6. FTX explosion in 2022
In 2022, the collapse of FTX Exchange once again pushed the entire cryptocurrency market to the brink of a crisis of trust. This incident not only caused drastic market fluctuations, but also seriously damaged investors' confidence in the cryptocurrency market. Although the current market environment is relatively friendly, the FTX incident still sounded the alarm for us, reminding us to remain highly vigilant when investing in cryptocurrencies.
In this ever-changing industry, we look forward to new chapters. Every market turmoil and crisis breeds new opportunities and challenges. This year, Bitcoin has successfully broken through the $100,000 mark, which indicates that the cryptocurrency market is gradually getting back on track and showing a broader development prospect. However, we should also be aware that the impermanence and uncertainty of the market still exist. Recently, Musk's concept of puppies Ethereum chain has attracted much attention, but investors still need to be cautious to avoid unnecessary risks.
