Reject those thoughts. Dont pay attention with it. Carry on with your enthusiasm with bitcoin and wait for the next rise.
The list can go on and on, including Morgan Stanley in 2004, Lehman Brothers in 2001. The question is, why flash crashes happen and how to avoid them?
This stuff seems interesting to me but I lack background, background that is not so easy to find. Do you have good links for more basic questions: "What precisely is a flash crash?", "Why are they considered bad?", "Are they actually bad?".
Most reasons of flash crashes are bots and misclicks of whales
btce last flash crash was because of the bots

Seem that every time there is a flash crash on btce, everyone blame it on bot.
a-ah, flash crash
I am really curious what the price will be like that, I can't imagine the price will stay this low after this month, I know many people are trying to pool fiat to make purchases at monent price.
next week is payday for alot of people, maybe we see some sort of rebound

There are one week from the end of this month, many things may happen, we can't predict in advance
Bitcoin, as with many markets, is very unpredictable. Regardless the long term fundamentals of BTC remain strong.
The bitcoin markets have tended to be more unpredictable then most capital markets that people are used to being. MIT computer scientists can predict the price of Bitcoin https://newsoffice.mit.edu/2014/mit-computer-scientists-can-predict-price-bitcoin

The primary cause of a flash crash is lack of liquidity. None of the other causes listed above will result in a flash crash if the market is liquid enough to support the volume, though margin calls and stop loss orders can exacerbate the situation.
Stop loss orders are not new to the bitcoin world. I think the flash crashes are due to the advent of margin trading with bitcoin as many people do not fully understand the risks of doing so and will use "full margin" so the majority of sites that allow margin will have most of their users having very little "wiggle room" when prices decline only a little bit
tl;dr
life's too short to read every idiot's theory on something as unpredictable as BTC.

Excellent post. For those wondering, the exchanges mentioned by OP that experienced flash crashes were Bitfinex (August 14), Btc-e (August 18) and Huobi (March 21).
