Seems that Bitstamp is dying slowly.
Sure it is.
Who would risk his coins to keep them over there? We don't need another Gox.
why? did you lose any on stamp?
bitstamp is the best and only legit fiat gateway. if bitpay is ok with using it I am ok too. you can trade on bitfinex or okcoin as much as you want, but you know where your fiat profits will end.
every BTC owner lost because of the panic dump caused by the hacking and by the hurt it caused to BTC.
the vulnerability was known and it could be easily avoided.
