ahhh... well I guess that proves it's a hoax then.
Question is, will anybody trade on it?

That was on their hit list wasn't it?

Well, what do they do now that bitstamp is down?

Correction 3:30pm UTC
We can stop it from crashing by setting buy orders at 120 also.
I've put mine in already. Provided they can't get through that wall it'll be ok.
Shit 118 would be a safe bet too, would mind a few cheap coins

Only 2000 BTC and we'll be back in the 24 range.
Then who will be laughing when it comes 3pm!

Cmon somebody...
Buy! Cheap coins!!
Don't let the script kiddies scare you...
Even if it does go down, it'll rebound back up. Just need a few more k and we can level back up to 125

I don't think anything will happen; the only contingency that hasn't been addressed is what if other people who actually believe this sell in anticipation and the price drops anyway as a result?
I think that's the idea. "Oop... I released this top secret info... (in hopes that everyone would trade on it)"

I'm mainly interested on its effect on litecoins though ^.^
Well then you might be disappointed. During the crash from $2xx to $60, litecoins also lost more than 50% of their value, dipping into the low $1 range. I was somewhat annoyed to see that people weren't selling at least SOME of their BTC into LTC - instead, they were selling ALL their BTC and ALL their LTC for fiat. I understand fiat is stable at the moment, but there was no fundamental change in LTC that would have indicated a reason to sell other than "Oh I have an excuse to start another panic wagon in an alt-coin." It was still a fun ride, but it also proves that no matter what form your money is in, it's never safe from idiots.
Fiat - not safe from Ben Bernanke
Bitcoin/alt-coins - not safe from herd mentality of panic wagons
Gold/silver - not safe (in short-term) from naked paper shorts and HFT suppression algorithms.

BTC price manipulation will be very hard as long as short selling is not available for fiat money. Once you allow BTC short selling with paper, you simply send an invitation to manipulator. Panic-selling or insider selling is different (two weeks ago we saw that kind of selling pressure). Now BTC markets returning back to normal volatility. I expect range-bound markets for at least 3 to 6 months. Four digits BTC is quite possible after this normalization process.

If it drops: I will buy.
If it doesn't drop: I will continue to hold.
This news is both obviously fake, and good for anyone looking to buy.

I'll put a ladder all the way down just in case.
I would not mind it dropping temporarily, I got fiat pending damn it.

Obviously fake.
I certainly wouldn't mind a drop to 30, cheap coins, but this whole pump-bigdump-panicsell-lag-ddos-morelag-morepanicsell-selleverythingatmarket fiasco gets old. People are getting desensitized, it's just not FUN anymore, seeing a huge drop every time Gox has more than 30 seconds lag.

I am worried that once my site is up I will have to deal with the same stuff and am not sure how to handle DDOS.
I believe that Mt. Gox uses Prolexic for DDoS mitigation. The Prolexic site appears to target large enterprise customers, e.g. banks.
I am getting the cloudflare page when they are down, though.

Thanks for posting this. As with most things on the internet I question its authenticity. How did you find out about it?
Completely likely to be just some kid who thinks posting stupid stuff is fun. AKA most of 4chan.
Saw it on another thread, checked the reditt to grab the meat of it.

Obviously fake. Just another idiot spreading FUD.
