Did you see that guy selling 100k USD in bitcoins at 5$ less than the market price in Bitstamp (10$ less than mtgox) this morning??? (Around 10:20 GMT+1 time)
WTF!
Any idea of why would someone do that in a price growing situation like this?

panic exit nothing new

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.

Maybe he doesn't want to keep the coins overnight, volatility of Bitcoins is no news.

"Too much money to care" is the likely explanation.

Srsly, a guy walked in to my office today and wanted to sell BTC50. He had been out, partying with guys and his fiat position was depleted. I had €5,000 in 50 euro notes and ordered my assistant to count them in front of the guy. Meanwhile I asked if he is serious to sell for 5% less than the exchange. He said ok, I ordered a glass of Valpolicella brought to him, and bought it at EUR 104 per.

I'm building a bot for mtgox to run on your computer. It will check the price while you sleep and do actions (sell/buy) for you. Simple to use.

I'm now gathering volunteers for the beta test (only need 5 more) that will have lifetime free bot. If you want join the beta-testing, PM me!

Now be bold and tell us what do you think: will the suckers rally go up to $200 or it will burst now?
