There is obviously a reason for this. IMO people who went in big ordering 20 5870's or 10 6990's or whatever this late in the game are going to lose the most. The bitcoin was backed on nothing more than trust. Since the gov't caught wind of it, people are starting to lose trust. The value will just go down from here. There may be one last spike and that's it. The problem however is not with bitcoin, the gov't can't shut it down no matter how hard they try. What they can and will do instead is go after the exchangers. Mtgox will be the first to get hit. It's not if, it's just a matter of time. Look at what happened to e-gold. For those of you that haven't been keeping up with the latest, I suggest you visit the economics subforum immediately and get the facts. Since most people are driven by greed and are using bitcoin as nothing more than a cash cow, this is the beginning of the end. Get out while you can and make sure you have nothing in any of the exchanges within a few weeks from now. Mtgox WILL get hit and when they do, you want to make sure you don't have USD or bitcoins sitting in there because if you do, you are going to lose every last cent of it.
How are "they" going to go after an exchange that is based in Japan and has currency accounts around the world?
