Not really because when price goes back up beyond $31 they'll be OK.

I love how people confuse "if" and "when". Or past with future performance.

that person decided he wanted some inflation funny money

I also love how people call the thing that you can still exchange almost anywhere in the world for food, travel, goods and services "funny money"(as opposed to BTC which can literally buy almost nothing BUT the funny money, funnily enough).

where I'm from, lottery winnings are taxed 50-65%

this is why we really need to be able to sell specific coins in the client.

given that i pay my taxes, and given that capital gains tax will treat these two cases quite differently:

1.) i mined a block in march, when Bitcoin was at 86 cents/BTC, and sold that block when Bitcoin was at $31; and

1.) i mined a block yesterday, when Bitcoin was at $20, and sold it today at $20.

i would really REALLY like the option to provably sell under the second scenario - saving my older (and subject to higher tax) Bitcoin for another time.

17k blocks... somebody got married and bought a house, or divorced and bought a Ferrari

over a third of a million USD...

maybe both! Shocked

Well, probably more like $200k. I'm sure he reported it as a gain and paid the taxes on it.

if you successfully mine a block could that be considered like a lottery win? not sure in the US, but where I'm from lottery wins are tax free

An early adopter cashed out 17K+ BTC all at once, driving price down from 20 to 13. It's back up to 18+ now.

May I ask how you know this? Were you watching the price feed when this happened? I wish I could've seen that in action if what you say is true.

However, I'm surprised this supposed early adopter dumped so many all at once. Wouldn't it have been much smarter if he sold in small amounts over a period of time.

large transfer here

lot of the inputs look like block rewards, some from early blocks

That's a nice chunk of fiat.

no kidding.

check out the original blocks. looks like they're all mined blocks - many going back to 2009.

Bought some today at 20, 21 and 22 USD/BTC and I think I have made pretty good deal. Cheesy

Damn, I wish I had a video or some screenshots of that happening!

It went down something like this:

Big buys supporting price

Remove said buys and add a sell (soon after the buy @ 16 also disappeared)

Currently peeps should pay more attention to diversifying between different exchanges right at this moment I can see price differences of over 3USD/BTC just waiting to be snapped up. This panic is just opening up the market for more opportunities.

A Mt Gox semi monopoly is going to cause these wild fluctuations no matter what, so diversify in terms of trading options and you'll make cash even in a temporary down spiral just like this one and come out with the additional cash to push values back up again.

I was watching and It looked like several big buy orders were cancelled and then someone dumped a large sell at the same time. Clear and successful attempt to cause a selloff.

Damn, I wish I had a video or some screenshots of that happening!
