Wow, I just noticed the BTC-e dump. Wow, I'm really surprised that it didnt have a larger effect on the price (I have o idea how many Bitcoin were dumped). I really wish I could have gotten some BTC (or fraction of) for $150. Really, I'm optimistic. I hope we're not in for another week of boredom.
About 5000 coins I think.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1127306.msg11916788#msg11916788Wow, and BTC-e is already back up at $270. Someone might have tried to start a crash (can that been done with 5000 coins?), but we're soldering through!
i'm not sure if it was to start a crash; it may have been just to profit from margin calls on MT4. i don't think the market pays
that much attention to BTCE, although it did seem to react to the that crazy spike in April that preceded the rise past $300.
i'm a bit concerned at how few coins it took to get there, though. past cascades like this took a lot more. BTCE seems to be getting pretty illiquid, i guess.
