Damn right, fuck paper money >_< when I look in my desk or computer and have to find a ton of shit just to do anything with a bank and just click a button to log into the Bitcoin client that says it all really.
Frankly, I almost view this whole thing as a positive event. It's good to see how a serious problem was discovered and dealt with quickly, and with relatively small fallout.
Agreed. Reading the IRC was very interesting. The course of action was agreed upon quickly, with consensus sought from the people most knowledgeable about the problem and possible solutions before any action was taken.
There will likely be short-term fallout, in the form of giving skeptics reason to continue to be skeptics for longer, but to me, this is actually long-term positive in that it shows how quickly and effectively core issues can be dealt with when the need is truly there. This has shown how individual incentives line up for the good of the whole network.
This is effectively a fire drill for how to deal with an attack, and this drill was handled quite well.
Nice, thank you! 
Can we plan for something like this to happen again during the Bitcoin Conference?
We could watch all the devs in action while everyone freaks out, and all head to the bar and buy each other drinks afterward!
I LOBE YOU ALL. AND I LOBE BITCOIN.

Ah - I've never experienced so much exciting stuff as with bitcoin!
the problem with this "crisis" is the moment..
yea, I just bought in @ $50 yesterday but it was only a tiny bit. It's fun to watch especially on IRC and I have faith that with whatever negative publicity comes, it will attract new buyers at the low rate which will eventually drive prices up. In the past 30 minutes I've seen the trade ticker go from ~38 to ~45. Great stuff.
Even the "bad days" are still part of a great adventure.

There will be crises much bigger than this one.
If we panic over something as minor as this, we don't deserve the gift that Satoshi gave us.

My thoughts exactly, the bitcoin world is very exciting.
