I think this freefall was caused by the news yesterday that the pipeline hackers supposedly received 90 million in bitcoin ransoms.

Think of it what you will, but the inability to control the currency and identify it's owner is the excuse needed to put bitcoin in government crosshairs, which I would say is bitcoin's biggest existential threat, being bureaucrated to death.

I'll look for it. Always interested in these things.
EDIT: Seen preview, looks more like a crime thriller than how to make a business work. Stars Hobbit guy, looks like fun.
