Title: the government did it
Post by: btcforall777 on April 16, 2013, 07:55:43 AM
either the management at gox is brain dead or the powers that are inflicting the never ending ddos attacs are supremely strong ie the Government.

i think it is more government manipulation.

who else has the capability to attack lie that?

Who knows. It doesn't take all that much money to buy up a lot of Bitcoins at very high prices, then dumping them at all once for very low prices to create massive volatility, which destroys public confidence.

We haven't had a significant amount of lag lately. Still the price is going down.

As are all markets in light of the insanity that happened in Boston.

Anyone noticed the gold markets are also crashing - although nothing like bitcoin?

It would seem to me that a few big spenders decided to sell their bitcoins and buy some gold - that would probably be enough to cause yesterday's drop!

i think the attacks/price drops had the intenede affect which was to undermine confidence. now the negativity is feeding itself
