I'm guessing the dude that sold 25000 btc hit a snag when withdrawing $1000 per day. Now he has to rebuy bitcoins and transfer them to tradehill to cash his money out.



Nevermind.
It's "The Bot" Guy.

The $1000 is just a security short-circuit. Legitimate users can have bigger withdrawals arranged. And there's hardly any depth at Trade Hill to absorb a sell-off of that magnitude.

Nope, he knew about the 1000 USD limit all along. He never wanted USD, he wanted to buy back more BTC than he started out with.

Why do you assume everyone has your exact strategy and position?  It's just as valid to dump, cause a panic, and re-accumulate later.  Not everyone is long bitcoin at the same price as you.  That's why it's called "trading."

Errrm I don't really see how I'm making any assumptions even remotely like that.

It's interesting to see how people insist on pissing their own pants in dumb attempts at trying to keep warm.



If you want a certain price for a certain volume then let it build so you can get it. Otherwise you're basically shooting yourself in the foot.

Was made as a comment on ticker behavior at the time of the post. I'm cool with dumping but back then there was a string of attempts to move fairish volumes 3-600 that failed miserably but at the same time knocked a fair bit off the price without moving more than 80-100BTC. Yes I know that may have been the motive but it sure didn't look like it (at least not to me) usually stuff like that is a bit more structured  Grin

Early adopters sure they can crash the system but if you're trading in BTC with more than you can afford to loose then well..... The risk is one of the really attractive things for a lot of people.

Some of the bitcoin early adopters are perfectly cavalier about losing hundreds of thousands of dollars they could have otherwise had and diversified with.  It's nice to be a multi-millionaire before getting lucky in bitcoin.  Others may not have that luxury -- we're in the middle of a rough economic time, and an extra half million dollars may be the difference between having a bad time and clear sailing for many people.

Satoshi is worth over 10 million dollars at the current "buy buy buy it'll go to the moon" sale price.

All it takes is one early adopter to figure out that taking a huge dump on the market means they can wind up with MORE dollars and MORE coins than when they started.  And a lower difficulty to mine more.  And a purge of speculators.

Agreed,

However dumping for a quick profit before there's enough depth to soak it up is kinda well....

Wasn't expecting to wake up and see this, to be honest.  I thought we'd be in the 5s, at least.  Hmmm.

I think chodpaba predicted a fast drop to 5's then spike to 9-10 then the real drop to low single figures in the time series analysis thread.

Couple of days ago I thought that we would be seeing wild swings between 9.2 and 7.7. It is still in volatile territory as single transactions are moving the price by an entire dollar. it seems like the swing territory is between 6 and 9. It's going down again as traders are cashing out while high.

Let's see I think it'll get going again once the US wakes up.
