There are some things I don't like about the stock markets right now.  I have said for a long time that things are at a tipping point, waiting for a catalyst to push it over.  I think Greece should be that thing, so I sold all of my stocks.  If I am wrong I can buy in, but if I am right?  Then we are looking at another asset bubble burts!

The Chinese market looks weird, I read that the government is buying stocks there to keep the prices from falling.  That is a very very bad sign.

Actually, Bitcoin had its own glitch with the recent fork, but I don't see where one has to do with the other.

 It's a new meme.  You'll have to catch up!

Bitcoin was not affected in any way by the NYSE getting knocked offline. There may be some marginal follow-on effect where some unwashed masses consider '...well, NYSE is not problem-free...'.

And I was utterly unaffected by the recent [sic] 'Bitcoin glitch'. Which was not a Bitcoin glitch in the least. Mine pool operators stuck their necks out too far -- farther than prudent -- and mined on chains that they didn't bother to verify. This is not an issue with Bitcoin. It is an issue with imprudent mining pool operators.

I know what happened, and it did affect some people. So even though it wasn't Bitcoin's fault, it was a Bitcoin issue.
