Thank you for posting this.  The dumping, although terrifying, makes absolutely no sense with all the infrastructure being built around btc.  The market behavior was highly suspect the whole time starting with the initial dump from around 590  and now we're seeing people flashing 30,000 BTC asks on bitstamp.  I've been very tempted to get out but every time I've come close I remind myself that none of this makes any fucking sense.

Edit:  sometimes I wonder if there will be a time when hired manipulators disrupt the markets in a transparent and obvious way so violently and for so long that the majority of the BTC community begins screaming for regulation.
