For everyone who holds bitcoin well done I take my hat off to you. But I am afraid the same will happen as when all the other major exchanges were hacked. Its not exactly in the news yet. Probably the big boys are getting rid of their stash until they start with the big announcement. Cryptsy was one of the main exchanges whether you like it or not and they do not even know how they were hacked. Its scary for everyone. I will come back on this thread to tomorrow and I can bet you any money it has gone down at least by 20%.. Hopefully it will recover as people say but it wont be unaffected by such a big exchange going down. Sorry ANOTHER big exchange going down.

Anyway its all speculation but when this has happened time and time again that's just the way it goes.
In terms of volume, what kind of marketshare did they have? I don't personally know that many people who were still using Cryptsy to be completely honest, I really though most people had switched to an exchange with less issues.

Having said that, I never liked Cryptsy, even before the scam accusations. I always thought their UI was crap and using their website wasn't a good experience.
