Don't question deathcode's wishful thinking/paradigms/pseudo knowledge!
If you do, then it is because you are an idiot that knows nothing about Bitcoin!
Instead, you should just accept the reassurances of the most arrogant pig headed clown on the whole forum (with a nose made perfect for being punched, may I add). If he says everything is just fine, then everything is just fine! Understand?
So your contribution to the forum is now following deathcode around and calling him names?
As for stability of Bitcoin prices I think simple maturity will do wonders for stability. Each time some early adopter/big hoarder decides to cash out and drops a big amount of BTC on the exchanges, it gets divided between more and more people. Less people with comparatively big holdings of BTC --> the less volatility. Also the bigger the market cap, the less of a hiccup caused by someone deciding to buy a huge amount.
Meanwhile Gox needs to get its shit together and improve their engine, other exchanges need to step up so we have a bit more healthy competition.
The best option imo would be a trustworthy method of direct P2P exchange. No idea how to pull this off, though. Maybe a crowdfunded public exchange (as has been mentioned in wall observer thread) would do the trick, but it would still represent a certain degree of centralization. Best to just provide a way how to connect buyers/sellers and let them figure out how to do their transactions themselves.
