Quick question about MtGox data, since the relevant crowd may be here. Do the activities of User 15 in these charts appear to have anything to do with options trading? http://bitcoin.stamen.com/

The difference is that this would be industry-led and new bitcoin can't simply be printed. There's actually some precedent for this in the March 2013 blockchain fork, when miners on the abandoned fork were reimbursed for lost bloc

For those just tuning in: at about 6pm PST Gox shut down their trading engine, but the site was still up. There's a supposedly internal document floating around that describes Gox's insolvency plan (which many consider a hoax). Th
