Title: Why all shit happens at once?
Post by: Amitabh S on April 12, 2013, 06:33:31 PM
There was MtGox DDoS, then the "crash", then BTC-e got hacked or something, then bitcoin-24 is down due to some stuff. Whats going on?

Someone really doesn't want Bitcoin to succeed.

Because it is a computer law.

Not to mention, on the very same night, my desktop gonked out on me (video card failure) and then my Internet went down!

It's a conspurrhurrdurr!!

Well, maybe that was unrelated, after all.  But it is kinda funny.  I know one couldn't make accusations without hard evidence, but the suspicion doesn't go away just like that.

It would seem to me that its just too many people chasing bitcoins from anywhere, where the market isn't ready for that sort of load.

We will learn and move on!

The tin hat brigade could make a story of the sun rising in the morning! ;)

Now that you mention it, I couldn't find my keys the night of the crash/attack for like 30 minutes.  It's all connected!

I got that feeling too. It was probably a set up.

Nice try, but Bitcoin rises again!

The recent dumbass panic selling crash happened shortly after I switched my client to mBTC display. (It's back to BTC now.) I jinx everything, I can assure you. ;D

I think it will take a few weeks for the market to recover.Someone obviously were attacking all the exchanges to somehow limit the viability of BTC.

And shortly after i finally downloaded a mobile ticker app so i know when its time to sell my first coins. (will sell a really small percentage at 250-300euro)

I guess it was both triggered by Bitcoin beeing worth too much too early ;)
