So... who's falling for that stupid game?
This really is stupid. We do not need games just now when there are no fees at gox.
The fact that there are no fees is precisely why games are being played. Unless Gox is specifically trying to stress test their system upgrades, I can't imagine why they thought this would be a good idea.
Someone may have just thrown a match over at BTCChina.
edit: lol, OldGeek beat me to it :-)
ref: rpietila / others who 'knew'
Did they just have 'better' information than us in terms of an early 'nod' on the news?
Maybe this has been raised in the last few pages - I confess I haven't got time to look back - but is it not possible someone knew someone, who knew what was about to happen?
To accurately say 'it will go down to 500' is pretty good.
Was it a timed assault of a wave of selling and the timing was lucky - or was it timed FOR the news once it was obvious it was coming (if you had the right information).
Questions, questions.....
