Didn't read the topic but I'm waiting for the +$10000 in the next 18 days

And why didnt Bitstamp create an  foreign bank account, for example in the UK... it should not be a problem when they already have ltd. (british type of company). Or is there any law preventing them from this?

I would not count on bank bail in's for price increase for two reasons.

1. People would prefer to not lose they money and bitcoin is last safe place to put your money there because of uncertainty and volatility.
2. Assuming that people would put their money in bitcoin anyway, who will sustain the price after banks will take their money? Price will crash hard making no.1 even more true.

Before we hope for people to come to bitcoin we would have to show them first that we are mature enough and have stable price with stable growth instead of bunch of amateurs whose primary target is to grab as many bitcoins from our community as they can.

Do you really think they did not try ?
Coinfloor was supposed to open in UK but has yet to do so. And they were not going to have a UK bank account ...
There is another exchange that opened recently in the UK (I forget the name) but they have to use a 3rd party processor to fund accounts.

BitStamp has an address in the UK - I highly doubt you would find any staff there, and they are not in any way regulated by the UK financial authorities

Hope this helps

Only keep in the bank what you can afford to lose

Sending 4 billion euro into a banking black hole equates to 2000 euro per person or 10% of GDP. Can anyone from Slovenia comment on the mood of the people after the announcement. Are they relieved that their deposits are safe or are they fuming about the 4 billion euro bill?

Slovenia won't need bailout. Slovenia will need 4.778 billion euros ($6.58 billion) to recapitalise its troubled banks.

They will not take our money directly from bank accounts. They will just take it from tax collected.
What a relief. 

Oh wait, but that is almost the same. They will take my money to pay for their mistakes. 

Finally, as a loyal Bitstamp customer I'd like to thank all Slovenian tax payers for keeping my favourite exchange open for business
