The minutes surrounding the crash
On February 10, 2014, the BTC-e bitcoin exchange rate dropped by over $500, crashing from $620 to $102 in seconds, and then rebounding within two minutes.[1][2][3] The crash is the result of what appears to be a single person selling 6,000 bitcoins significantly below the market price.[2]
