Gox will fix all of it's problems and magically return to being the market leader handling 80% of all volume because everyone is addicted to the dopamine effect of ClarkMoody. Everyone will forget anything even happened, like 2011.
BTC will only ever reach a level like 5000 if the exchange system is seriously improved. There needs to be a reputable exchange in the United States, that everyday people can use that has the backing of regulation and insurance so that nobody has any fears about using it. Maybe integration with bank accounts like that bank in Africa. Also we'd probably need to see the U.S. federal government come out and officially recognize BTC as legal tender.
How to lose half a million dollars IOUs instantly.
FTFY.
It's a huge loss, however you cut it. Whenever it comes time for them to buy out, they will be able to obtain that many less bitcoins which will be worth that much less in fiat.
WOW. Bitcoin is so retarded, even i am impressed, really. Those dumps to 100$ on 2 exchanges, now that candle on Gox. This will leave a nice mark in the history books.
Gox is all over the history books as a huge fail already.
