Breaking: Bit Coin completely collapses

I don't care for, or follow Bitcoin. As I don't believe in it. Don't Believe in gold either for that matter as I can't eat it in in a crises. Anyhow the above is their title not mine. So fans of bitcoin don't flame me. Aparrentley accounts have been frozen as there appears to be something that is equivilent to a bank run on their Product? Don't know, don't care. But wanted to give everybody a heads up.

Sorry I was in the middle of editing, you guy's were to Quick of the mark. Link attatched.

I posted this earlier on an old Bit Coin thread:
The Bitcoin Bubble (and how it is a setup to rip people off)

Not the first time it has crashed, however this time seems much more serious. Only time will tell if it can recover or this if its the end.

Looks like it was frozen around $600.

Bitcoin Flash Crashes, Drops By 80% In Seconds

Now that Bitcoin exchange Mt.Gox has terminally discredited itself following the latest, and likely last, withdrawal halt announced late last week which sent the value of Bitcoin tumbling by 25%, Bitcoin traders are left with just two exchange options on which to transact: BTC-e and Bitstamp. And for those using the former to buy and sell the virtual digital currency, things went from bad to worse a few short hours ago, when Bitcoin had its very own "Waddell and Reed" moment, when the price of Bitcoin cratered by over 80% in the span of seconds, after a modest block of just under 6000 Bitcoins sent the price plunging from over $600 to $102.

This website shows the drop down to 102: bitcoinwisdom.com...

$600 and now $100...

And back to $600.

Someone just got paid 6:1 for their bet.

Some bot made a bunch of cash i would say

Or someone missed a zero and ruined his life

6k bit coins at 600 is 3.6m in a sec

Meh, more pointless bitcoin FUD by people with an interest in keeping a centrally controlled currency. Here's some non-sensationalized info to put things in perspective: www.mtgox.com...

Basically there's a potential design flaw in the way BitCoin works that can result in a transaction being played twice (ie: 'attacker' make it look like a BitCoin transfer failed, so the system attempts to repeat the transfer resulting in duplicate BitCoins). A few suspicious transactions were found that appear to have exploited the flaw, so the BitCoin network has been shut down while they work on a permanent solution.

I'm not sure about other exchanges, but for Mt Gox at least people are still very much able to withdraw their currency (AUD, USD, whatever), they just can't (temporarily) trade BitCoin.

Russia blocking it was purposeful,

This reaks of manipulation, crashing alternatives currencies...

Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Ummm.

Nothing to see here, no seriously.

Anyone whos been watching the Bitcoin market for longer then a day knows that this drop is nothing. Typically it means theres been a big sell off, someones cashing out on their product.

If bitcoin will fail there is probably a slithering and forked tongue big banker waiting in the shadows to introduce a more save, guaranteed and more stable alternative cyberspace currancy.

Would this have something to do with the huge theft at bit coin Sheep Market?There was a thread on it here a few weeks ago.There was a big cyber hunt for the their by a couple of guys from Reddit.
Turns out a lot of people lost ALOT of real money.It sounded like a ponzi scheme.

Let's not forget the bank drill at the end of this week. Maybe a sign of things to come.

Not to sidetrack the discussion, but can you eat dollar bills in a crisis?
