It seemed like a lot of bitcoin were bought in one big gulp but I can't find a definitive answer.

My guess is about a billion dollars were just spent in a little over 30 minutes. Please correct me or let me know what happened.

The best way to say thank you:

I think you are talking about this:

I believe 7k btc really got sold so indeed $4M. But I am too lazy to look it up again :p

I see, so it was just a MtGox glitch, I feel better now thanks, I thought the central banks were taking control of bitcoin  Grin

I actually recorded BWisdom and wow it looked so real.
