It went down to about $12k in some exchanges, so far...

While what you say has been true in the past, one thing has changed since the last ATH of Bitcoin... Wallstreet is now involved.

Also, it looks like some exchanges are temporarily locking the value of Bitcoin and other currencies at certain steps to control the drop?

$14k now. Told ya. This is easy free money.

Too bad I can't really take advantage of it. But if anything, that just makes me a disinterested player. Rather more persuasive than someone with a vested interest.
