Well it's definitely part of the hype.

It looks like Gox is moving closer to States, where most of the clients/bitcoin users come from. Besides, the 'states are easier to cooperate with if you (the company) are based there.

There is some anger between old customers, besause they mostly do not want their accounts to be transferred to Coinlab. But overall I think this development is good news.

Time to move to Cali for a job.

I wish it was another exchange opening as we need more diversity and better competition to protect against what happens to Bitcoin when Gox goes down, but if it helps adoption then I guess it's good for right now.

Wow, it's an older post, but I had no idea this was happening. That's fantastic. Now I might feel comfortable using Mt. Gox to transfer some money into Bitcoin.

I believe that it will probably stay like this for a week or so before shooting up again, mainly because of this news, and the PayPal news.
