Big news. Definitely explains the drop.
No, it doesn't
Your right. It totally doesnt explain the lack of buyers AT ALL.
Because all of these guys with the money to move the market had no idea this was coming. 
Totally serious. Care to explain?
So you're quite serious to think that (insider) trading whales wouldn't possibly have (insider) advanced knowledge that the Silk Road coins were to hit an FBI auction the end of this month? That they might have been tipped off days ago that the news article was going to hit the web?
Ohh, haha, no, that bolded part WAS in fact sarcastic. I just thought it was so obvious that you were referring to something else. Sorry (And I'm serious)
