Title: 2013-04-11 CNBC: Bitcoin Crash Spurs Race to Create New Exchanges Post by: n8rwJeTt8TrrLKPa55eU on April 11, 2013, 04:13:57 PM Worth fully reading, despite CNBC source, informational without FUD.
http://www.cnbc.com/id/100633793 Quote American broadcaster Max Keiser, a former Wall Sreet stock broker and inventor of the technology behind web-based game Hollywood Stock Exchange told CNBC.com that he was providing consulting for a new exchange to be set up in London. "The 'market making' design for [Mt.Gox] is weak; as is the case across all the bitcoin exchanges. This is where we'll see some new initiatives - many are already in the pipeline," he said. "I'm consulting on a project now in London with some excellent people who are part of what I would call the core bitcoin community of developers and financiers and it looks to be very exciting." Hopefully not Intersango v2.0.

The fact than Mt.Gox has a large majority of the exchange market is a weak point in the economy.

I have never used mtgox, didnt like the look of it! |
