Assumptions:
- Acquiring party needed to amass >100k BTC from somewhere(s) to make the acquisition, i.e. they were not an early investor in BTC
Evidence:
- Timing of rally and then Satoshi Dice acquisition might match up
- Rally from those price points has been described as "unnatural" by some people
- MtGox order book has been borked ever since, ~50k BTC disappearing from the order book like magic, never to return
- www.oprah.com
Implications:
- The rally was indeed unnatural and we will be returning to $65/BTC once BTC supply has a chance to catch up.
Anyway I'm gonna go back to playing Civilization II now because this current market is boring as all hell.
