tl;dr for new fish: oct 6 2014 someone put 30,000 BTC up for sale at $300 on bitstamp. one order. r/bitcoin couldn't explain it, so they drew a face on it in ms paint and called it the bearwhale. then they ate it, 10 BTC a minute.

This whale is being eaten alive, at a rate of like 10BTC/minute or more over the last hour, it's just incredible.
