I've been living under a rock, I don't understand why since the 12th the price has started to just plummet. Any information?

A better question would be, why has the price been so high? I think that's the answer.

I think some bitcoiners are paranoid and this won't last long. It's because of a new article about the FBI considering selling their seized coins soon.
But just this week there's been so many positive story that are way more important than that, so I believe it will go back up quite soon.

The general picture is that many people believe that come 31 January maybe lots of Chinese people will sell their Bitcoins and withdraw their money, crashing the market. So some people would like to get out now. But it doesn't look like there is much panic or conviction in the current selling.

Some analysts would probably say that we need a correction regardless, but then most of them have been pretty stumped by the way Bitcoin has been behaving post the China bubble.

$5 wrench.

Apparently DPR didn't take the proper precautions needed to protect his stash.

because proudhon and his sources are in a full-on bear mode.
because people need cheap coins.
because 1000/coin is boring.
because bears believe in an alien invasion.
because some people honestly think FBI would transfer coins to a magic the gathering online exchange in japan for a sell. they also believe in an alien invasion Wink

many reasons.

No, it's a normal market movement at this stage. But with this low volume it takes too long for my taste.

Sometimes, if it looks too bullish, it's actually bearish

If they don't trust gox they could also use slovenian stamp, russian btc-e or chinese huobi. Still not convincing? Just ask Keiser to buy them....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1bDMfRfsrw 1:20 - 1:55 Cheesy

Ya but I think it will rally when they go for more than spot. 25M order elsewhere would incur incredible slippage so the price should reflect that.

Wouldn't they the FBI auction the Bitcoins off? Isn't auctioning how they liquidate most confiscated items that are not illegal? I doubt the FBI is going to register on Campbx and just say, "Fuck it lets market sell this shit.".
