DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGE!
...and none of this would have happened.
Mt. Gox will never be fixed. It's a fundamental flaw in architecture.
We need a decentralized exchange!

I got into bitcoins because theyre cool, and I like the idea and philosophy behind it all. I didnt know Id be getting enemies out of it. 
The bank hates you.
Feels good don't it
Isn't MtGox's official story was that the DDOS attacks are being perpetrated by traders trying to game the system by selling, then driving the price down due to the panic created as a result of the attacks, then buying again at an artificially low price before the currency recovers. Are you guys really suggesting that the world's reserve banks are trying to kill bitcoin?
I'm simply saying things like this happen. I'm going to make a comparison, you may not agree but here it is.
1. When Libya was attacked and Gadaffi was taken out of power, did you know there was a new currency based on gold called the African dinar he was trying to implement throughout Africa? This currency was going to be the exchange currency for all goods, services and resources in Africa. What happened? He was murdered and a massive pile of gold in Libya dissapeared (44 + tons)
2. Abraham Lincoln- Was trying to repeal the federal reserve act (assasinated)
3. J.F.K- Tried to repeal the federal reserve act (assasinated)
4. Before 9/11 afghanistan and iraq had no central bank, "now they do."
5. The only countries left in the world without central banks are, you guessed it (Iran and North Korea)
"they go after everything that's not centralized" (and, in no way am i saying the countries listed above are good, I'm just showing the correlation)
very true i could not agree more

I think that scenario is a perfect example of why BTC needs a more widely dispersed infrastructure without depending so heavily on a single exchange.

Who is doing the ddos? And why do they always do it when the price crashes?
Our enemies. To make it crash more.

Hope this gets sorted and soon
So when someone‘s post count is at 1337, it shows up as "leet"? As per Mike Christ above.

An odd correlation, isn't it?

Keep your calm.
BOO CENTRAL BANKS ARE BOLOGNY
But a central exchange is very very bad too.

HAHA. YES, it will crash a bit, but it's going to recover if the original base doesn't give up on it. Central banks do not like bitcoin!! Well, we don't like central banks!!
