Matching our analysis, Bitcoin price plunged to near $500 BTC/USD today. That is if you were looking at the Bitstamp exchange price. BitFinex, on the other hand, saw $460 followed by a return to $500 only to slam down to $451 a few seconds later. Is this the result of some systemic error or perhaps manipulation being exercised via the BitFinex exchange? Could it be that some early adopters are cashing out, or perhaps the news? Far from it, as the following explanation will clarify.
