I think the situation is good.
Indeed - hopefully it won't take a Gox-style event for it to happen, but I could definitely see Bitfinex picking up volume over the coming months. The near-term future for XMR looks very strong:
- RingCT
- GUI
- Bitfinex additional liquidity & decentralization (and wallet storage for the risk-takers)
Do we have you back in the XMR game, Risto?
Heh I'd actually argue the big exchanges are actually the weak link, given everything that's happened with them
