Who is dumping BTC? It sparked a very big panic.

A few things come to mind:

1) borrowers on btcjam and the like. The only "purpose" I can see for such sites is naked shorting. If price drops, hurrah, you win, rinse, repeat. If it goes up, just default on your loan, and you still win. This is why you should never lend out your coins; either you will lose because the value of btc goes down, or you will lose most of your deals because your borrowers will default.

2) bitstamp hacker. Havent checked yet, did the coins move?

3) All the ponzi and other scam operators. Most of them dont care about BTC, they just use it as a convenient way to conduct their scamming business. Since they obtained the BTC at virtually no cost, they will cash out regardless of price.

4) the sheep.

you see a long dump chain, it's hard to get out of this now, but it may find a bottom in the end, i think we are near the real bottom, but that's just me

He's the gentleman that bought like 30k+ coins from the US Marshall auctions. It was more a joke since we all know he bought in at obscene prices.

Maybe bistamp lost a lot of BTC and unable cover.
So they make fake buy/sell volume to push down price.
Then they buy at low price to cover the lost BTC.

This is all nothing more than 50% panic and 50% market manipulation. As I said before, no one complained when the price went UP. Now everyone cries foul and heads for the door. Not to repeat myself but if you want out, dump your coins. If you're doomsaying - I'll buy your coins.

There will be another upswing, then everyone will be sighing that they sold out too soon.

Just my two satoshis.

Exchanges of course, they could create millions of bitcoin in their database and crash the price to single digits if they want, that's the reason we should not use any price quote from exchanges as a valuation for bitcoin, a P2P exchange must be established in the coming years

Not Tim Draper. He invested most of his coins into several bitcoin startups and VCs.

And it is not in his interest to dump it this low.

I believe it is one EVIL exchange that uses dump and pump to get rich quick.

It does get kind of irritating all this talk of Bitcoin 2.0 when anyone that's been watching it a while is eager with anticipation for the great 1.0, the only good thing is its a bit like jurnos writing about "Bit Coin" with an air of professionalism Wink

On-topic, there's a lot of views on who's doing the dumping and they all hint at a blind spot in human nature, looking for a single answer when usually there's a multitude of them. If there was a single cause then here is probably the least likely place to find it, this place is full of agenda driven posters and anyone with the kind of funds move markets that much will also have plenty spare to pay astroturfers to muddy the waters.
Bitstamp's probably the most likely as its the most recent news but after seeing the silkroad "crash" that started before news was even released its obvious headlines are sometimes more an excuse than a reason. Who knows, maybe China banned Bitcoin yet again.

We are in the 1.0 phase no? 2.0 doesn't have to mean a new crypto. 2.0 could be a new path for bitcoin. Instead of the Mt.gox's and market hysteria of 1.0 we will have the hardware integration, widespread adoption and etfs of 2.0. Just my opinion.

Who is dumping BTC? It sparked a very big panic.

Everyone. Especially people who short on margin, people who firmly believe in TA (-> self-fulfilling prophecies, right there!) and many people who panic, panic, panic. But I don't think they'll account for that much, they mostly just get "slaughtered" in the process of the crash...

That's what its being touted as, funny in an inside joke kind of way is all Smiley Imho its not really accurate though, all that stuff will be innovations that use Bitcoin while Bitcoin its self will change little and put focus on being a solid foundation to build upon, security, capacity, that kind of thing. The alts will be where the 2.0 stuff gets integrated into the core functionality of cryptos first and those features will only make their way into Bitcoin when they're tried and proven.
Even the concept of "2.0" has a bit of humour in it as that's more the way things work with propitiatory software, open source tends to have forks and diversions that are in use beforehand with major versions wrapping them up and making things tidy.

I agree with this. Bitcoin's foundation will continue to be built upon and alts will serve as more of a testing ground for future bitcoin tech. Everyone does get caught in the idea of 2.0 like it will be another bitcoin but I feel as I think you do, 2.0 is bitcoin with a legitimate ecosystem, significant testing, and very user friendly for the masses.

It's just pure bottom-finding going on at the moment, and especially over the last two weeks. It's not a single entity dumping coins in my opinion. Sure, mining operations have to liquidate BTC constantly, but this has to be factored in at some point.

Well, who knows... Maybe sidechains are going to be exactly what Bitcoin needs to come out of the Beta and unfold its real potential. You're saying it yourself: Bitcoin is still in its development. Now is the time to introduce those new potentially crucial features!
