I thought the troubles at Gox are the new normal in the bitcoin world. A few weeks back there was the real worry that Gox would collapse and take bitcoin with it. Now people have come to accept it as the way things are.
I don't think so. The bottom has fallen out of the LTC market, the volume on Gox is dropping and very few people seem to be reporting getting their money out of the exchange. To an outsider, it looks like it's dying a slow death.
We all know this can't go on forever. Some has to give. Either Gox fixes what is broken in their withdrawal system/partners/banks or customers lose confidence, buy BTC, price rises, and gox goes the way of the Dodo bird.
