And as of right now, Bitcoin is climbing well above $8700. That's a 17.5% gain in the last 24 hours, and I'm not sure it's going to stop. What's all this about now? Flash crash of 5% and 10%? And then serious cray crazy gains to make up for it all in just 2 hours?

Did we say October was going to be dull? I know I was thinking it would be bloody, even this took me by surprise. Anyone got a genius explanation?
