Random topic. So yesterday I sold at $110.50 with the guess that it may breach 100 momentarily.
Put up a buy order at $100.02 and set a price alert on my phone at $100. I remember waking up to the alarm early morning seeing that it hit $98, awesome. Then I went back to bed.

Drifting to sleep with bitcoins freshly on my mind, I started dreaming.

NOTE: THIS NEXT PART IS MY DREAM, NOT REAL!
-------------
I kept visiting the MTGox website and even though I was signing in correctly, It wasn't going through. I was confused and puzzled.
Eventually I was able to log in, and then my heart DROPED! My account had been EMPTIED OUT! Some hackers compromised the MTGOX home page and somehow made it into a phishing website, compromising all accounts that tried to log in during that time, and wiping their accounts clean. Fucken scaaaary dream!
-------------
I woke up and thought... Ok, time to setup 2-way-authentication.

I've heard of malware now targeting client mtgox accounts, so no new surprise there.

But as the Dalai Lama has said.

Prepare for the worst, Hope for the best.

Any of these thoughts ever cross your minds?

Also, on a speculative note. Looking at the 6 month trend graph. It looks like we are converging to a value of approx $110?

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

Gox sent me a free yubikey, I thought that was policy for all accounts that trade more often than once or twice?

Yea, if you wake up and then think of a topic and then go back to sleep you generally dream about it.

Is the yubikey sent on request or automatically? Currently using google authenticator.

Even if the Gox website were to be turned into a phish site which records all the log-in paaswords, the crackers could't  have just "wiped out" your wallet, Had Gox implemented cold wallet the way they say they do.

They sent me a email telling me to go to the Gox site and accept the prompt and it walked through from then on. (This was about 5 months ago)
