that be $10.000 for one coin.

maybe a trade from the future?

if most BTC are mined in 2025 orso who knows what the price will be.. could be 10k, lol Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Considering that the entire 21 000 000 coins that arent even totally in existence yet isnt even worth $1 000 000 000 then its obviously an error of sorts.

I might ask someone from mtgox to have this removed as a bugged trade should not show up on their trade history...

I've been querying the MtGox trade data recently and came across an entry on 09/08/2012:

TradeID: 1344515801056587
Amount: 0.00000102
Price: 1000000000.00000
TimeStamp: 2012-08-09 12:36:41

Thats right, a $1 billion trade. This is messing up my number crunching.

Questions:

... I'm assuming this is anomalous and can be deleted, why is it in MtGox's trade history if it isn't a valid trade?

If its correct, how was it a valid trade?

Why does this trade not show up on any of the charting sites?

What happened that day?
