That #bitcoin flash crash to $0 on MEXC is truly wild — and it's making serious waves across crypto Twitter.
#TrumpVsMusk # breakdown of what likely happened and what it means:
🚨 What Actually Happened?
Bitcoin briefly showed a price of $0 on MEXC — likely just for a few seconds, enough to spark mass confusion.
It was not a market-wide crash, just isolated to MEXC.
Probable causes:
System glitch (bad price feed, UI bug, or database error)
API mishap (bot-triggered or faulty trade input)
Fat-finger trade or intentional low-ball limit order matched in low-liquidity
Flash crash due to a cascade of liquidations or stop-losses triggered at once
💥 What This Means
If real orders executed at or near $0 — some bots or whales cleaned up big time
Retail users may have gotten liquidated or slipped badly
This highlights the risks of centralized exchanges during volatile moves
💸 Could You Have Profited?
Yes, if you had ultra-low limit buy orders set well below market in anticipation
But in reality, most retail orders wouldn't execute fast enough
Likely only bots, insiders, or hyper-optimized traders caught it — if at all
🧠 Takeaways (DYOR, Always)
Keep lowball orders on volatile pairs if you're a high-risk trader
Never trade without stop-losses and risk controls
Diversify your holdings across exchanges and wallets
MEXC might face reputational damage or regulatory heat depending on how this unfolded
🔥 Bonus: Binance Write-to-Earn
Smart move stacking rewards while the market loses its mind — BNB and other DeFi protocols may benefit from this chaos as people shift platforms.
