1. That hack was nothing to do with bitcoin itself. It was just an attack on satellite service conducting bitcoin trades.
2. Actually it is not that bad because we can now buy bitcoin cheaper. As there is almost 100% chance that price will resume climbing.
Hacking attack can't be predicted. Every service is advertised as secure, safe and stable until it isn't.
That is not a bad point either because we can now buy bitcoin cheaper and sell when it hits $700 but how will bitfinex settles peoples funds that were stolen?
before up in $700, i think the rate will be down for a moment, then next week will go up. because when i see on bitcoinwisdom, there are red down below, i hope its not be down in $575.
