I think the recent dump is due to nxt multipool who mined a lot of btcd.
This will only be happen once if I am right.

sorry to cause anyone alarm
I had to liquidate nearly 5000 BTCD, which is now completed, to pay out some miners.

@jl777 I like your technical understanding and your postings! This thread is very interesting!!! (I am afraid of FUDs incoming since the value of BTCD is growing.)
