The Bitcoin Foundation should audit, certify, rank, and give a seal of approval for each exchange.
You mean the Shrem Karpeles & Friends Foundation? Karpeles is out, Shrem was shutdown so he should be out too. There has to be a way for the Foundation to have trustworthy members, then I guess we can do this audit thingy I proposed. Satoshi has to be pissed that these old timers can't even run business well and in turn gives Bitcoin a bad name. Aside from shrem and karpeles, were there more ahem... Jewish folks on the board?

Not surre if this was already posted, but, from: http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/1yuuok/daily_discussion_tuesday_february_25_2014_early/cfnzt9iSo here's what has happened for those who can't keep up. I doubt any of this is a pure coincidence given the time frame. 1.) MtGox allegedly lose 750,000 Bitcoins, according to a leaked document in the hands of TwoBitIdiot, a known person within the Bitcoin community. 2.) He then decides to leak the document to the public 1 - 2 hours later confirming this number, and within the document it says they are to rebrand as http://gox.com and lie their way out of this mess. 3.) After the document is leaked, MtGox halts trades immediately (Around 5 minutes after) 4.) At this point, http://gox.com is still a parked domain, and not long after starts to redirect to http://mtgox.com (EDIT: More information on the domain situation from chris45215, which basically confirms that MtGox were indeed planning to relaunch as Gox.com as explained in the leaked document) 5.) After around 30 minutes, Coinbase, Blockchain, Circle and Kraken simultaneously release identical articles titled "Joint Statement Regarding the Insolvency of Mt.Gox" (EDIT: Since then, some of the articles have removed the word "insolvency", but not all of them.) 6.) A further 5 minutes later, http://mtgox.com is taken completely offline. 7.) And now we are here, with not a single word from MtGox. QFT

Well this is it. Possibly the beginning of the bottom leg of the final capitulation. When is wallstreet, the twinkies, bit, fortress, whales etc. going to start buying?
I heard wallstreet is only interested in Dogecoin.

Random bit: today (Monday Feb/24 UTC) there was unusually large trade volume at MtGOX in JPY: ~14 kBTC worth of. It was ~1.7 yesterday, ~3.6 the day before.

QFT One error: The trading shutdown was well over 5 minutes after the leak. And it was almost exactly 9:00PMEST, so, it seemed to be planned, not a panicked shutdown.

Upon further reading of twobit, it appears the leak was actually done to calm nerves. It's gonna take a while to recover from MtGox malfeasance, but I think the PDF was prepared for all the other players (listed in the statement) who are working in the best interest of btc. Which means Mark resigns tomorrow (today).

Just look at this:
100.00000000 GOX for 0.29900000 ฿ ea.
I made some big fucking mistaked whilst trading, but that one should be the cherry on the top. Mother of god.
EDIT It can actually be worse:
514.47420594 GOX for 0.38000000 ฿ ea

Can we trust Mark to destroy all the ID docs he has?
I think we can count on him to have already sold them to the highest bidder.

They are going to announce on the 25th. What do people expect? It's only 1:30pm. Depends on which time-zone.
