Many traders took longs in anticipation of a big reveal - a new tech, a partnership, or... something... anything really.

One giant troll.
The event started 1 hour late, and the sound was barely audible through their live stream.
Here's a followup from their team on twitter:

Glad I didn't take any longs, but this will probably correct! No need to sell at a loss as there's a market for Monero, even though their team has no clue how to communicate with humans.
Quite possibly one of the stupidest things I've seen done in the crypto world so far. I didn't have much invested so it's not a big deal, but XMR is permanently off my list.
I think a lot of people feel the same way @rt395 they acted like internet punks and certainly don't present well.
He was trying to prove a point, but in a very un ethical way imho. People lost a lot of money..
