I got a loan from my 401k that I repaid a while back and I don't remember anything about a $50k limit. Now I am buying a new house before I sell mine and the $50k limit seems to be ridiculous since it is my money and I just need it for 1-2 months. (50k is a very small % of my total)
So when did this limit get pu... |

Why do people who sell Bitcoin (for example) on marketplaces ever allow the price to go down? |
This question really goes for any kind of "financial instrument" or whatever the generic term is, but I'm going to mention Bitcoin as an example.

Why do people who sell something on a marketplace ever allow the price to go down? |
Because what if nobody wants to buy at that price any more?
When the buy price and the sale price meet, a transaction happens, and those prices are removed from the market. That means there's always a gap between the highest buy price and the lowest sell price. No more trading happens until someone decides to increa... |
