that this OKPay withdrawal is just another part of the tactical manouevres undertaken by Government institutions to crack down on Bitcoin.
Is there any evidence for that? or is that your TFH talking?

Would the Japanese be next to hit MtGox big time (and thereby trying to hit BTC as they would like to sell you their "lovely deflationary yen" as an alternative 
? )
? )The Japanese don't care about bitcoin. Not enough users in Japan yet.
Could someone offer an informed summary on OKPAY - who used it and why was it a desirable choice compared to say wire transfers?
OKpay was the easiest way to send money to BTC-e.

If you live in UK and want to send money to BTCE, they insisted you use OKPay as an intermediary. Annoyingly, when I tried it, I sent a test amount of £100 and OKPay charged 4% commission to receive it. I'm trying to get it back now but their website has some fault.
never thrusted okpay..
wiretransfer ftw
wiretransfer ftw

Not ideal...

Yikes!! indeed.
Though I don't know how much OKPay accounts for volume wise, this is again one of those nasty little developments added to the list.
I wouldn't be surprised to see -at a certain point in time, so with the benefit of hindsight, of course...- that this OKPay withdrawal is just another part of the tactical manouevres undertaken by Government institutions to crack down on Bitcoin. Would the Japanese be next to hit MtGox big time (and thereby trying to hit BTC as they would like to sell you their "lovely deflationary yen" as an alternative ? )
Yes, I think BTC will survive such Government crackdown, but the only question is: in what shape will it be afterwards?
We'll see.

Wow. Recently options for moving money in and out of bitcoins have been shrinking. The opposite of what you would expect for an economy that is growing!
Luckily it just means more room for new entrepreneurs to get it right...
