Before you panic & sell everything, just because there's no bids for 5 minutes doesn't mean the market will stay broken. Unless there's a surplus of fools willing to part with their bitcoins for <$10.
Does anyone know what volume of BTC was actually sold for <$10 or <$5?

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

I remember seeing an order for ~261000 bitcoins at 0.01$ that got fulfilled. |

Volume has increase about 10x from yesterday when it was at around 50k volume. I think the above is right, 261k, what about the other 200k increase? Why would that many people join the bail train with recent market trends looking like a mountain range?

My guess is someone messed up writing their little trading bot.
Tomorrow we'll hear of some suicide somewhere of some programmer who lived in his mom's basement.

This is some early guy (Satoshi or his accomplishes) who knows something about Bitcoin we don't (perhaps that it's the biggest scam of 2011). And so he's cashing out  |

Why would anyone deliberately cash out at $0.01? Someone's stub quote just made them a BTC fortune. This is the Bitcoin Flash Crash.

Perhaps the MtGox bitcoin wallet is stolen and people are now trading with Bitcoins that don't exist (MtGox doesnt have them).
Lmao

But what volume in $ traded below $10? Someone hitting a stupidly low bid is just stupidity. They lost 200k BTC, and gained $2k USD.

Is anyone who was lucky enough to login to MtGox and buy a lot of bitcons at this absurd price also generous enough to donate any to those of us who weren't?  |

then again if you are a 'founding father', and not blinded by greed, you might have every incentive to dump some of your BTC for nothing. liquidating some of that stuff means the price goes down (as it did) and more people can buy == more long-term viability. |
