15 years ago today: $BTC crashed from $17 to $0.01 in minutes.
A hacker breached Mt.Gox's database and dumped massive fake sell orders. Someone actually livestreamed the whole thing going down.
Wild to think how far we've come from exchange hacks tanking the entire market to single cents. Mt.Gox was the beginning of learning security the hard way.
If you weren't there, you don't know how fragile this all was.
