You seem to be forgetting that there were also a lot of fiat afloat at mtgox that was meant for BTC. BTC will lose that fiat, and probably any new fiat that would of came from those who owned it.
It's fun to see how everyone are trying to downplay the gox situation and are trying to make this look good.
Exactly.
Between Feb/6 and Feb/11 the price had a permanent drop by some 50--60, almost certainly due to news of MtGOX's troubles. (Feb/10 was the first disappointing press release IIRC.)
I believe that the final demise of MtGOX did not have an immediate effect on price because speculators had been following the story and were expecting that event, so their reaction happened weeks ago (and it was negative).
However, the headlines in mainstream media are going to scare away potential investors who might otherwise have joined the market. As for the long-term investors (who own bitcoins but do not read the forums and may check the charts only now and then), some of them will decide to sell their coins and invest into something else.
splendid!
