1) someone discovered 20k BTC in a basement computer and yelled "I'm rich"!

2) someone's really, really invested in keeping the price down and has the coins to back it up (and has no problem losing a lot of money in the process)

3) someone thinks they can destroy Bitcoin by causing a flash crash... Adorable, really.

Choose one.

a bunch of us just realized that we missed the crash because the price advertised on the top of the site isn't the actual price at all.

Option 4 is someone saw the price rise by 10%, day in day out and thought this is as good as it gets, at least in the short term.  They cashed out their profits before anyone else.  Others saw the price drop and followed, sending it plunging.

And I was waiting till 98 to dump everything and buy back in at least $20 cheaper. We still might see another bounce off the $100 resistance wall.

Relatively poor liquidity, that's how.

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

There has to be an option 4.

1) no one found 20k of Bitcoins in their basement.
2) no one likes losing money like that
3) Flash crash won't destroy it, that already happened in 2011, but watch we're going to make headlines in the media tommrow.
4) this is what happened... _____ fill in blank ___   because I have no freaking idea what happened,.

I'm telling you guys,  Mt.Gox's thing isn't the only reliable ticker...   I put alot of effeort into http://www.ounce.me .. though it takes a weighted average of all the bigger exchanges (campbx, mtgox, etc)  I believe it's the most reliable...  everyone that was staring at the ticker there saw the flash crash.

4) Someone bought 300K+ BTC at $2 and is liquidating some fiat so they can pump it up again.

Nothing new here its been going on since we hit $10 (nothing but a hunch to back it up)

I guess that theory would also apply to the fact that the price went from $13 to $95 in less than 3 months too?

some details for you

to bad bad for the attackers by the time mtgox lag was fully cleared the price already went up and there was only few long squeeze

Los desesperados publican que lo inventó el rey que rabió, porque todo son en el rabias y mas rabias, disgustos y mas disgustos, pezares y mas pezares; si el que compra algunas partidas vé que baxan, rabia de haver comprado; si suben, rabia de que no compró mas; si compra, suben, vende, gana y buelan aun á mas alto precio del que ha vendido; rabia de que vendió por menor precio: si no compra ni vende y ván subiendo, rabia de que haviendo tenido impulsos de comprar, no llegó á lograr los impulsos; si van baxando, rabia de que, haviendo tenido amagos de vender, no se resolvió á gozar los amagos; si le dan algun consejo y acierta, rabia de que no se lo dieron antes; si yerra, rabia de que se lo dieron; con que todo son inquietudes, todo arrepentimientos, tododelirios, luchando siempre lo insufrible con lo feliz, lo indomito con lo tranquilo y lo rabioso con lo deleytable.

Which would qualify it as one hell of a dumb move. Had they divested themselves of the same amount over several days they would've ended up with about 15% more fiat. Doesn't really compute.

WTF JUST HAPPENED?

Wasn't me.  I was broken last week.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

- Carroll Quigley, CFR member, mentor to Bill Clinton, from 'Tragedy And Hope'
