Who is the Bitcoin BearWhale?

This really does not matter as the sell wall has been eaten up completly.

I suspect that the bear whale was some kind of attempt to market manipulation. The expected result of that kind of order would be for the price of bitcoin to drop dramatically both after the order is placed, while the order is being executed (while the wall is being "eaten") and after the wall is gone. Instead the price barely moved once the order was placed and mostly buy orders were placed against the wall. Also the price has moved up in excess of 10% since the bear whale has come and gone.

I think he was trading on both sides of the market. I suspect that he had money in another account and used a bot to buy up much of the order and was hoping to buy at lower prices

Good Q. Could be a few people pooling together. Or one badass. Would be cool to see a face behind the dough!

No one want to see the price keep dropping to zero then bitcoin is done and cryptocurrecy is in the brink of death.  The big whales holding large amount of bitcoins are pushing up the price in case the majority of bitcoin holders will lose the faith in it and dumping their holding.

I believe it's some price manipulation by the same person probably early adopter who still hold large stash of bitcoin so that can buy at cheap price. Even though price has recovered for now, long term is still towards the downside

BFL liquidating BTC. either covering tracks or the proprietors getting ready to flee MO (cash is more valuable on the lam than BTC)

Failed price manipulation...

If thoose BTC went to holders who don't sell or play around with them the BTC value will rise instead.

Who is hero he prevent Bitcoin fell in the picture?

All hail the BearWhale Slayer  

Though I suspect that lots of little people (the community), would be more aptly depicted instead of just one single hero person.

Media hype begins. Expect new ATH in 2-4 months.

The real whales are pushing billions of dollars in new bitcoin businesses through vc. The price is a poor indicator for what's going on right now.

I think the actual number is actually in the tens/hundreds of millions of dollars. The VC is also not specifically betting on bitcoin but rather crypto currency taking off in general. The VC money that is being put into bitcoin related businesses will likely see a ROI in the event that either bitcoin or any altcoin is successful, as the businesses could easily adapt to another altcoin
