Alpari filed for bankruptcy. The move was caused by central banker and im sure his family and friends made out like bandits... A surprise move from central authority should never happen unless ur dead in the water anyway.
so banks force tier 2 liuquidity providers to fully cover each trade thus if client margins out broker covers... alpari was worth half a billion.
Fxcm which i hate is publicly traded lost 90% value as clients lost over $250 million...
All in all retail forex market lost about a billion. Thats prob a big chunk of all of it so big win for the blockchain.. especially bts.. would be harder to lose money on our platform
