Title: What a great lesson for the FREE MARKET.
Post by: someotherguy on August 07, 2011, 03:40:34 AM
I am sorry to be so harsh, but why would anybody put their commodities/money in a new "bank" with no assets and, no real liability? Furthermore, the "bank" was registered in a "country" notorious for fraud and exclusion from certain aspects of the U.C.C.

So after a bit of deliberation, my brain deciphers the fact you are talking about mybitcoin.com.

With time, even those most resistant to changing how they think about digital money and online transactions will either adapt or move on.
