Some people here have expressed the idea that bitcoin should hold its value as stock markets crash, but it seems as if bitcoin has depreciated too. Is this attributable to a global dry up of liquidity, risktakers?

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

Yes, it has been suggested.

Multiple factors are affecting what's going on, many of the same which are causing equity market collapses. The Bitcoin economy is simply being swept along, as it is a tiny market.

Patience, grasshopper Smiley

With additional monetary stimulus, the equity markets will continue their upward trend. Note that Bitcoin seems to be more sensitive to that (assuming the correlation is valid) and precedes the major markets by a bit (pun intended).
