Epic drug deal is about to go down.

Followed by an even epic-er drug bust.

Let the trolling begin.

Not meaning to question your inference but from the chart alone is it conclusive that the buy was a single order or from a single person?

Al Gore.

If someone could find an image of Al Gore making a face/gesture similiar to the "Aliens" guy meme, that'd be so wonderful.

Bwa-hahha. If we could find source, and then add "Al Gore" at the bottom I think we can run with it. 

Why yes. Yes I am to lazy to actually go do it myself.

It appears that one of the orders was from a single person. When it was finished executing the cumulative total was exactly 20,000BTC.

The other 2k, it's hard to say.

The other 2k, it's hard to say.

If it would have been 21,000 BTC then chances would be very high it was an investor wanting to buy 1% of all available coins that will ever exist.

It's 20,000 BTC though, maybe he said to himself 'well, let's not exaggerate' ;)

Actually, this is 0.1%... :)

U.S. Government should buy Bitcoins. The USA could get a rid of all their debt within some years! (If bitcoin does not ! crash) But buying bitcoins by the USA would get the price up to 200-500$ Imagine what happens if they buy for a billion
