The market will regain confidence once it figures out how awesome it is to be able to really aware of the problem, if it were a bank the investors would have no knowledge until it stinks.

What investors and "the market" make out of it will depend largely on the media. And i doubt that they will see it the way you and i do.

They're gonna have field day calling this a "hack", "crash", "broken system", whatever sounds most dramatic for the actual writers' article. And why wouldn't they? It's a good story, after all. Not necessarily true, but just too good to be wasted.

And yes, that will have an impact on the confidence of investors. They may be smart people, but they're also smart enough to not waste their time on really understanding the technicals of their investments.

Not all investors buy/sell on the panic of other people. We have had way too many markets creating huge problems underneath yet still spouting out good news all day.

If someone finds out that too much transparency is scary, so be it, but they may as well stay in the grand nanny's basement forever.

justusranvier, of course you would be the one to say such douchebagery and no, I have been here for far beyond a month, registered under this alias? absolutely. Don't make it a habit of assuming things, this also should apply to the market.

be as it may, all I am basing this off of are the numbers and charts, I don't take anyones recommendation or advice when it comes to money since everybody (including myself) are automatically considered bias.

Any speculation to why people are rushing to sell their bitcoins now?

Because the market is smarter than anyone and knows that if this problem happens once it can happen again and worse.
Black day for Bitcoin, but time will heal.

and also how quickly it was fixed. pretty damn amazing.

Yep. And if the fx rate stabilizes and begins its normal behavior from $45 then it would seem to have taken only a 5% hit from this experience or $25m off the "market cap". Not too bad...

mtgox has not been very transparent recently (same as any other fiat bank), especially since the drop in value today, if mtgox and other trading co. continue to act this way bitcoin will not be able to recover since its value comes directly from people believing in it.

I agree with you sole, I lost quite a bit today. The bigger question is what if bitcoin does go further mainstream and more and more merchants depend on it, our global economy is very frail as it is and I don't think we can afford to overlook the possibility of something like this happening again. : /
