Topic: Why is Bitcoin exhange going crazy? (Read 486 times)
Yeah would be nice to have a peer-2-peer exchange built into the Bitcoin client.
As another user posted, they said it was a DDos attack https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1735252
Happens all the time?
There is only one solution, and it important for the future of the bitcoin community - a public exchange. It is funny we believe in bitcoin because of its democratic value, peer to peer, etc. and then we get stuck with a company, which is no peer to peer, which control the exchange!
Actually it is not funny...

Today I woke up and Bitcoin was shooting up to $140. Now it is on a steep decline going down to $115. What is going on?
This happens a lot, at least in terms of percentage swings.
A so called "Bitcoin" service provider was hacked (https://www.instawallet.org/) (https://bitcoin-central.net/)
Then there was sell panic, because newbies think Bitcoin got hacked.
MtGox creaked under the load of newbie sell orders.
I suspect.

mt gox was down for a long time so nobody was able to buy, it should go back up now
I got screwed and bought at 137, not even an hour later Mt Gox goes down. If only BitInstant would have taken longer to process the payment.
