Whatever. And no you haven’t been in bitcoin since 2010. Plus if you really feel the way you do. Then sell. Have conviction. If not keep pounding sand.

It turns out Mt. Gox. shutting down was a bad idea in retrospect, when they shutdown the downwards lag-crash was about to recover and go up and lag was coming down. Now it's just a crazy free-for-all ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FdDdK5Hd.jpg&t=665&c=_Xs3RgQnQlNbcw) +1 to this. It WAS going up. It had bottomed out at 112 and there were some big buys happening and an earnest climb back up. They should have waited for when the whole market wasn't watching in fear as it was lingering at a hotspot bottom. Another questionable decision from MtGox.

Mt. Gox. is crashing the other exchanges, 6 weeks from now when the 200,000 new users do their analysis they will see the price never dropped @ Mt. Gox therefore it is the most stable exchange. 2 years from now people in the 10,000 post will be arguing whether or not the crash was actually a crash. *Edit* They are selling all the new coins they got from the lag yesterday.

What's bad about it? This is a free market. If people want to go crazy, panic and burn their money they are free to do so. No hand-holding, no welfare state. The fittest shall inherit the Earth. It's hardly a free market. It is supposed to be but Gox problems create some serious issues that essentially act like chains bounding us all. The lag multiples any fear on the market 100 fold. It flew up to over 1 hour yesterday for a reason. People were scared, couldn't sell at a certain price, price point wasn't hit, set it lower, and then lower, and then lower, trading completely blind. That is idiotic market, not free market. Hopefully Gox will have this fixed now.

That might change, but it hasn't yet. Gox currently chains the 'freedom.'

Yeah. Gox will come back with 1000 times better engine. Everybody's sell orders will be instantly executed. Price goes to $15. Only as all sellers are satisfied, do they realize that the trades were actually executed, and they lost the coins. Then the buyers see that orders go through, and raise the price to $150, which will become a new floor. After 2 weeks the crash is forgotten except that some made a killing and some made a lot of dough. As they say, you can't know if the trade was profitable until you squander all the proceeds. Go to sleep, molecular. See you in 5 hours! ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) it's more like in 6 hours from now thanks for your soothing words.

Nice arbitrage opportunities right now... Buy on BitStamp at less than 70 dollars, sell on bitcoin.de for over 80 euros.
why do you think bitcoin.de is higher than the others? You need not wait for a SEPA transfer with bitcoin.de but can buy, then transfer.

I like reading all the retarded posts and chuckling. Patience young grasshopper ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Once this market gets a bit more distributed I'll be happier calling it a full on free market. While true there are no rules, the problems (that can be fixed) get in the way. Unfortunately the media are what inform the world, and at the moment just funnel money straight into Gox's pockets further compounding the issue I have. Time will change all this though so yes, haha patience is good.
