If there aren't enough buyers that simply means that the world doesn't want bitcoin (or is unaware of it...)

I don't care, once it's up i'm withdrawing all funds left and moving on.
No, not because of the hack or flashcrash whatever, but because he refuses to take responsibility like a professional business and keeps telling my my pc was hacked and not his site. I think last week should have showed him there was really something wrong on his end, but noooo... -.-

I've always discarded the wealthy early adopter issue as irrelevant as they would have used most of the bitcoins to trade around already and would have spread out to some extend for a cheap price back  in the days.
However, as it seems now, there are a few hands holding incredible amounts of bitcoins.

Satoshi is believed to have 1~2mln
knight has a small 0.4mln
2 other users here have round 0.5mln

Thats almost half of all the wealth in this market in the hands of 4 people...

Now, i don't mind early adopters of a revolutionary currency getting rich over it, after all, they brought us this revolution. But this seems a bit overkill to me and money=power, too much money=too much power.

Do you guys still think this is a non-issue?

Duh... If those men would be with pretty girls they wouldn't be rich for long.
Ugly girls don't care about their looks, clothes, jewelry, cars , so the men stay rich.

Yep, he's probably taking a nap right now, on some sweet beach with hot chicks and all the luxury he could wish for, with our funds.

mtgox is down right now, my conspiracy theory; the domain was still compromised by the hackers, acting like Mark, phising passwords for more win.

I sent an email months ago, never got a reply.

I guess many people will chicken out of bitcoin and sell cheap for the first hours, then i'll be buying.
After those few hours price will go up again and stabilize, then the sellers cry and i smile.

You convinced us all. (All the caps in your first post helped!)

I doubt the price will drop much, this isnt a bitcoin issue, it's an mtgox issue.
One issue with an exchange shouldnt make people lose trust in bitcoin as a system, but maybe some will lose trust anyway.

im guessing 17.50 USD

@Ploum,
 I guess he wants to crash bitcoin...
And he's succeeding, other markets are crashing too now
Lets hope btc can recover from this...

I sent a reply to my original ticket, requesting them to take responsibility for recent incidents. This was their response:


Judge for yourself, i'm done using MtGox...

Damn it...! I knew it wasn't any of my systems that got compromised..!

I was about to yell "TRROOLL ALERTT!"
But i think OP seriously doesn't get it...

There indeed  has been a lot of bad attention to bitcoin, drugs, money laundering, the recent thefts. and a lot more FUD and lies too being spread.
People, specially those with large stashes and thieves will cash out, it was never their goal to establish a stable future currency, all they want is quick money.

Still waiting for the 1BTC from previous signup on bitcoin7....

i also get much less stale/reject then in previous pool

I never delete any wallet, not even empty/test wallets.

looks very good, i'll be joining soon
