Hello Everyone ,
Bitstamp have temporarily suspended their services .
Cause : some of Bitstamp’s operational wallets were compromised, resulting in a loss of less than 19,000 BTC
I think that is a negative on bitstamp not bitcoin , all bitstamp customers wallet were locked untill solve this problem
That will create new supply in other exchanges sites from bitstamp users, price drops and will increase BTC price .
Today we can see that bitcoin price start increase .
Of course to us it is a negative on the service of bitstamp, but to outsiders they may see it as another worrying thing about bitcoin and yet another major theft from an exchange and consequently people may think it's bitcoin that isn't secure as opposed to specific services supporting it being flawed.
