A flash crash is a temporary drop in price. What flash crash are you referring to?

If you are referring to the price decline that caused the price to decline to the low 300's that ended with the bear whale, then it was likely caused by traders with leveraged positions being forced to liquidate their positions because of margin calls.

Exactly. I don't follow the price falls anymore really, but when I get whiff of the rises it always makes me excited. I'm in it for the long haul so the price today isn't really relevant for me.
