[2015-07-19]Bitcoin Flash-Crashes on BTC-E, Other Exchanges Stable

[kori]

Bitcoin flashed crashed on the BTC-E platform, falling close to 30 percent before recovering completely. The crash happened on a large sell order for several thousand coins. It’s unclear why the owner decided to dump the entire lot on the open market. The usual rumors are abound, ranging from a bug to a hacked account or a fat finger mistake. The exchange hasn’t published any news about the event so I assume they’re treating it as legitimate trading. - See more at: http://www.forexnews.com/blog/2015/07/19/bitcoin-flash-crashes-on-btc-e-other-exchanges-stable/#sthash.OqedsWQV.dpuf

I wonder who were the lucky ones to be able to get their orders filled at such a low rate at this point. Someone woke up as a happy camper.
