because fear is what allow you to manipulate the price and it doesn't cost anything
, the news about mt gox is so overblown, actually if its not for the constant fear of Mt Gox news that keeps coming out, people will not care.
if we are being frank, the news of Mt Gox has already been there from a long time ago, people know eventually Mt Gox will pay its vicitims but surprisingly right now people acts as if it's the doom of bitcoin, while it really is just them being paranoid.
the market could easily endure all those potential sell off of BTC just fine, the time german government decide to dump their BTC to the market, there are so many BTC sell off outweigh the what Mt Gox gonna distribute but the price just dumps a little, it's only when the news of BTC dumped by german government spread that market become a bit frenzied.
