I don't think this is a fatal blow. Bad press is still publicity. In three months, or a year, all that will matter is that the name bitcoin got out, not what exactly happened.

He's right, guys. You'll have to all just sell him your BTC for whatever measely price you can get on the way to 0.01 BTC/USD...  Grin

Don't panic, Bitcoin is a lot tougher than just a single exchange. Better we get these sort of ordeals out of the way at this stage and not later.

It may have slowed things down a bit but I have every confidence that it will all be okay.

That's because you're totally naive.

Bitcoin is dead as a common, widely used...ANYTHING. Not a store of value, not a medium of exchange, not a transaction processor, and certainly NOT a currency...

Again, TOR junkies and criminals might still use it...

Time will tell if this is Bitcoin's darkest moment or finest hour.

Hell, I'm actually pretty depressed about this.

Right when I was starting to see a glimmer of hope in the future of BTC, it's all COMPLETELY stripped away...

I feel just like I did when they canceled Stargate Universe lol...

It's written in blood this time I'm afraid guys...

As soon as the media gets a hold of this story, that's pretty much the end of BTC as anything but a backwater fringe item of TOR connoisseurs and trivial web-developers, hosts, and hippy products.

So, just like it was before the hacks, except with pretty much zero potential for any legitimacy at this point.

And legitimacy was really the only thing that mattered.

No more.

Was a fun couple of weeks guys.
