What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBitcoin, five twenty-five AM Eastern. Open eighty-six thousand twenty-seven, high eighty-six thousand one sixteen, low eighty-five thousand six ninety-eight, close eighty-five thousand seven sixty-seven.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDown point three percent, body five times average.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTheory one: a whale sneezed. Not a metaphor. A actual whale, in a Patagonia vest, with a hot wallet and a head cold.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorTheory two: my bunker generator backfired and the vibration tripped the whole blockchain. I'm sorry, and also thrilled.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDale, you're the only man who apologizes for a disaster like he's bragging on a dating profile.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorTheory three: a day trader sat on his keyboard after a burrito. Bitcoin dropped because someone's gut made a market call.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe boring answer: nobody knows. Nothing in the headlines in that window, from Benzinga, Seeking Alpha or Investing.com, mentions Bitcoin. Nobody touch the whale.
