Another article reports that Kraken, another large exchange, has been getting hammered with DDOS attacks. I wish it was possible to edit articles as I should add these kinds of shenanigans to the Bitcoin Risks article.

BTC soared from $400 to $500 yesterday, and is back down to $400 at this point. My gut feel is it won't go below $300 again without _much_ more bad news to counter all the good news recently, but otherwise I have no idea what's next...

Ping! In other news, the head of JP Morgan bank really, really wishes bitcoin would just go away (LOL). :-)

The world's largest bitcoin exchange OKCoin has suspended some of its services indefinitely, following a malicious cyber attack from unknown hackers.

Surprise. Surprise. Who'd have expected something like that to happen?

WAIT! This can’t possibly be true! Why, only yesterday there was a post about how BitCoin would make a GREAT world reserve currency!
