I wonder how much user trust will be damaged on bitstamp after this case. But if they recover, I think all people will have more trust like before

They

We won't see any "panic selling" till Bitstamp reopens. Then I'm sure some frustrated customers will cash out.

If Bitstamp remains closed prices may go up in the short term due to fewer btc on the market. Already we are seeing this. Long term prices will be down.

The stolen coins still remain a question.

Yesterday bitstamp announced they'll be back after 24h, today you hear they'll be back in 24-48h. There's a serious problem going on, next panic sell more likely to happen

the sells became since yesterday but the price didn't reflect that. very strange

Do any of these situations end well? Gox, Vircurex, Cryptorush, Mintpal.

Only one that I know of: Poloniex was hacked but paid everyone back.

Add Paytunia to that list (there are other very small ones, Openex , Indiemarket etc) . I have used most exchanges that ever existed (28 different in all) and lost funds on many: that is a longer list !

I would say Poloniex handled their problem best of all. Complete frankness, and users were informed of the net amount they were owed, and that was carried forward on their balance, being paid down slowly from operating profit. I still use Poloniex and trust them as well as any.

Paytunia (Bitcoin-Central) repayed all losses, but stopped operating (so far).

Says nothing about how they will honor that 18000+ BTC loss.

A system being up does not make losses go away.

Time will tell on if my skepticism is right or wrong.
this relaunch is no sense if they won't solve their problems

two BIG if Smiley

There are winners from this situation, Bitfinex and Btc-e. They earned a lot of clients in the last 2 days.

Yes but if Bitcoin stays a relative low price for a while they may not benefit from it much especially if more people are afraid to trust other exchanges with a lot of bitcoins.

the people wants to sell and they do it. what to do with Bitcoin? waiting to wake up in a morning and to see that you don't have it because a russian kid hacked your wallet?

the people are using the existing exchangers because they have no choice.
