Many of the exchanges are being DDOS attacked at the moment.
Sure, but if you look everywhere, I'm pretty sure everyone is pretty much on hold. MtGox act like as a master reference. If it goes up, others follow. It goes down, other follows. It's rarely Gox that follow others. Everyone is waiting for Gox right now to decide if we'll crash or not on Gox re-entry...
Yes there are other exchanges, but most merchants are tied to Gox for the exchange rate.
So true...
Its because people only use 1 site to trade on...
There are tons of other exchanges to use: http://yellowcoins.com/bitcoin/Exchanges/
People... use other exchanges where possible... Especially anyone from Europe has better options than "The Gox"

What you mean "on hold"? MtGox USD/BTC ratio is on hold, yes, but why not log into bitstamp or any of the other 20 exchanges and trade all you want?
Yup.

So, it's ironic to see how a supposedly "decentralized" currency get halted because a single site is down... Well, the protocol itself is immune, but the market value is basically on hold worldwide...
