Alot of whales were pumping ETH as a hedge against Bitcoin but I think in reality Bitshares is much more a threat to BTC than Ethereum is as they share more in common.
Looks like lot of ETH are sold for BtS on polo...
Yes, there were. Interestingly, Factoids sunk as BTS went up - suggesting that it was the punters that shoved Bitshares up to > 2000.
