Does anyone have any reasonable speculation about how many bitcoins may have been secured by this 'whale' buyer(s) since the July turnaround? It must be an immense amount.
My estimation was 40k - 50k, but I suspect a good amount were already sold at the 120 - 125 price level.

Reasonably there wasn't a single whale buyer.
My thoughts as well. I was just curious if anyone had a handle on how much was purchased so far to get us here. The steam engine has to run out some time I would think.

yeah man I really failed hard today trading. shit feeling >.<
Maybe not, large buy at gox ($125) can fix this and drive us much up (but imho not very possible). Don't take my word if serious money is in the game.
Spit happens man, I didn't spend my whole quota so I am going to see where it goes.

That shitty feeling when you buy alot of coins, and the price drops 5 bucks on Bitstamp >.<
I don't want to play with your feelings but probably if 5 bucks drop will be max you can be very happy.
There was a lot of large buying today and yesterday at bitstamp.

The NASDAQ halt reminds me of when Gox halted trading for a "cool down" period after the April crash.
The Nasdaq was up almost 1% according to this list. And, no other stock markets are really down. What is up with the halt?

my suspicion is the powers that be detected mass algo sells (intending to flash crash like never b4) and stopped it. Doubtful the crash will be attempted again today. Look forward to some unprecedented action tomorrow.

this is just the beginning of major exchange issues
Once the deflation is in full force, we will see more outages. when selling starts in earnest, NASDAQ, NYSE, etc. servers wont be able to handle it.
it is like 100,000 people trying to escape out of a baseball or soccer stadium at once when only one gate is open...
I wonder, the FED can just buy stocks that are being sold. The engines the exchanges use can handle the volume. I mean the FED is injecting a fair amount of that 85 billion a month into the stock markets. AT ALL COSTS they will not let people think the shit has hit the fan. The revolution will not be on television.
That said, I think the FIAT bubble is going to burst, but when? BTC has a "market cap" of 1+ Billion. The FED prints that amount every day by noon. It won't matter, if they try to create volatility there will probably be less to buy back if the currencies of the world are not doing well. Interesting experiment we got here.
And when some, even a small amount of that money goes into BTC, we will be talking valuations that are decoupled from current understanding. That is the best way to NOT put a value on things.

Spoke to Tim. Planning dinner in September. Tim believes in buyback and is doing one.
