Title: [2014-02-07] Bloomberg: Bitcoin Plunges as Gox Closes INDEFINITELY
Post by: eldentyrell on February 07, 2014, 04:45:23 PM
I suppose "until an undefined time" is technically what indefinitely means, although I doubt most of their readers will think that at first glance.  Lame journalism (but what do you expect from bloomberg anyways?)... on the other hand the shenanigans coming out of gox are lamer so I guess it all cancels out.

PS I think this (press) subforum should be given an exemption from the subject length limit so we don't have to delete words from the articles' titles to make them fit.  The full article title is "Bitcoin Price Plunges as Mt. Gox Exchange Closes Indefinitely".  Upon typing the last word of the subject line I was overwhelmed by the urge to use capslock.  Deal with it.

That's a very misleading title (although in keeping with the linked article), I'd be willing to bet somebody sold all their BTC.

The title of the thread is the title of the article.  Them's the rules for this subforum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=246823.0).

Completely sensationalist and misleading title.  I expect better from Businessweek.
