Would like to see some one take another look at those locations/addresses where satoshi is alleged to have stashed all his coins, to see if there are still there or have been moved to gox. IMO someone caused this crash by selling a huge amount of coins all the way down (maybe a million or so). Gox will know, but we should be able to work it out from the BC
At most 180k coins were sold as per the MtGox volume of that day, but realistically, much less than that because volume includes both buys and sells, and any day trades.
If someone indeed sells 1 million coins, the price would go down to
$0.1, not $50, not $30. There is not enough depth in the bid side to accommodate a 1 million selloff.
