Why would the stability of Bitcoins depend on exchanges at all in the future?

Why wouldn't it?
it's been proven twice that when MTGox was down or lagging like crazy, bitcoin went down due to panic sell off...


But then again when any new mining tech comes out the price soars which makes Gox lag...
So the actual cause of the instabilities is the reckless introduction of new mining hardware.

I'm still not breathing; bought in at 138.  Roll Eyes

Relax, you're not the first to buy in at or near a short-term peak. Long term, you'll be fine.

Why, thanks.  That actually did make me feel better. Tongue  But I will only breathe a little bit.

Where are those decentralized exchange and decentralized markets? Sounds like really cool ideas. Will these be implemented any time soon?


Well, that's the whole point.
We have a decentralized currency that relies heavily on a centralized exchange market.

What's wrong with that statement??
Yeah... the challenge is to create a decentralized way to exchange coins securely however, an exchange is based on centralization (a point in common where everyone trades fiat for btc
So, whoever can figure out a way to do this in a decentralized way, will not win money, but will be very welcome in the community.

Or is it the other way around?
You don't read announcements uh?
But did panic selling bring it down, or did it going down cause panic selling?

I'd hardly believe that a temporary outage - even of the biggest exchange - would cause people to freak out and try and sell... but it's a well known fact that high volume will drag Gox under.

Will bitcoin ATMs help any?  Or will that just raise familiarity/awareness/availability and decrease stability for a while?

I thought day trading and speculators added stability to the market.

Apologizing for my ignorance, I'm new to this and kinda young....

I think bitcoin is too young to be stable at all. Stability will come with time.  Smiley

We need a closed exchange open only to brokers to eliminate day trading.

After a few crazy days ($101 to $147 in 24hrs and back to $110) we can see a little bit of stability.
I wouldn't mind the price to linger in the 120's-130's for a few weeks! Smiley

Knowing the recent events that cause MTGox to go down and with lags going crazy (10minutes or above)
Please answer the questions in the poll
