- Who would be crazy enough to send 30K coins to an exchange? After all the countless hacks and losses? No one.
Conclusion: the coins belonged to Bitstamp or some close to Bitstamp.
- Why would anyone sell now, at the low? Bears had all year to sell. They had plenty of opportunity to sell at higher prices. HODLers don't sell -- they just buy "cheap" coins.
There is no reason to sell now, unless you have to. No one "has to" sell 30K coins.
Conclusion: The coins were not sold. The seller bought all or most of the coins.
- If both of the above are true, then why?
Generate excitement / more trading volume / more commissions? Create a bullish setup -- "we just defeated the bearwhale, go bulls!"? Why else?

Do they have any more? Or Ethereum. They have enough to spend a life of luxury on some beach and make anybody remotely known to them filthy rich. Maybe they panicked when they saw the dream yacht slipping away.

Plenty of explanations. One of them: A large off-exchange buyer has a contract with a large mining operation to buy their coins. The contract is so big that it makes sense for the buyer to manipulate price with 30k coins. Maybe they lose X,000 coins worth of value by dumping in that fashion, but gain Y,000 by being able to make their large off market purchase at a lower price. No, they didn't buy all of their own coins. They had to eat through the order book to move price.

After declining prices for a year who would risk it and hold such a bunch of coins? I mean: I mean with that kind of money one could make 50-100 grands just out of interest. The Bitcoin price might be at $1 in a year. Maybe at 10 000$. Noone knows.

The selling now is mostly coming from whale. Hard to see how a few small time holders can cause price to fall back this much.
