Except several people got trampled on our way out of the building. |
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.

Just business as usual! (except what's said above ^)
I always expect something like this to happen. I've seen it many times before. Perhaps not of this magnitude though.

It almost brought the whole house down.  Another big sell in those conditions can be catastrophic. |

Maybe we should the take some personal time off for a reflection.
And then return to the trade floor refreshed.

Do you expect this crash to have quite a lingering effect on trading? |

I don't think there's anything rational going on in the market right now.  |

you guys haven't been trading this?

This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable.
Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be… entertaining.

Haven't landed an adequate price point yet. My spreads are very wide.

I'm running
sell @ $5.78
buy @ $5.27
sell @ $6.80
buy @ $6.30
took a little haircut to get short again at 6.15, then the GF wouldn't clear the terminal and missed that last downspike...I need to be more assertive about my needs

Had multiple buy/sell positions and still do in order to accommodate large swings. There were about 10 sells and buys for me leading to a 12% increase in my Bitcoin/USD portfolio.

dumb luck, I assure you the lag was so bad it was a total crap shoot, my best move, the buy at 5.27, was 20 minutes old and I had long "cancelled" it in disgust when it posted I rather suspect this is what the operators around the turn of the 19th to the 20th century felt like waiting for the telegraph |

Nice getting the $6.8 sell in there! I tried, but that was when I had my 20 min lag and said F-it. I ended up just getting rid of them at $6.25 since the depth was so shallow, I was kind of nervous about being all in when any moment could be the aftershock. |
