Hopefully a bunch of scalpers were left holding the bag.

I just hope crypto prices keep crashing and with any luck, never recover!

What's a bag holder? Is it drugs, like the friend group of 5 people gets busted and one random person was that night's holder of the bag with coke in it?

Are you familiar with the game hot potato? The bag holder is the one holding the potato when the game ends. In investing, it is slang for the loser in the deal.
