I wonder who destabilized the currency? Whoever they are, they must have a lot of computing power and experience in decryption algorithms. Hmmm.... I wonder who that would be?

"It's not only fragile, it's fragile as eggshells."
True. But so is the dollar. And the legitimacy of the government, for that matter. Both have value only because people believe they have value.

Never understood the whole bitcoin concept and therefore never participated. Mayhap a good thing on my part.

Note the source: LA Times. I’m sure this article is just as trustworthy as one about guns or gun owners.

“Many Bitcoin backers insisted there was a silver lining to the collapse. Bad firms like Mt. Gox would be weeded out and replaced by trustworthy ones that would make bitcoin more credible and secure, they argued.”

Exactly. Since everyone knows that Mt. Gox was the only bad player and now that it as been weeded out, all things bitcoin will now be hunky-dory for all of the rest of eternity.

I’m sure the federal reserve or any central bank wants the competition so they just destroy them like they destroy the metals market daily to keep their paper scam going.
