Some-random-supernova ltd, (the manufacturer of gold) to be hauled before the courts. Investors wait to see if shinny lumps of yellow metal will be worth anything.

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.

Ok fine, it's not the same. The bitcoin network does not match the vast magnificent power of the natural phenomena from which gold and other metals are created. Nonetheless I stand by the illogic in the comparison. The price of bitcoin flash-crashing on an exchange does not mean bitcoin is now valueless any more than gold would become valueless if a major gold exchange got robbed (or any commodity for that matter). Can the media please stop attempting to give that impression. Bitcoin holders are not now holding their breath because of the misfortunes of MtGox "to see if their bitcoins are now worth less than the cost of the usb on which they are held" or whatever.

thank you, that is all.

If there was a robbery, no.

However, if someone suddenly flooded the market selling their gold reserves, the price would take a drastic hit.
