It's rather bothersome how powerful mtgox is in affecting the Bitcoin economy—it shuts down its servers during the crashes so it could secure its own bitcoins and make profit speculating, and it's too big of a target for DDoSing. Hopefully with the price going back down to a realistic place where the exchange rate is closer to the real value, not the nominal one, we can see a more diverse choice of markets. MtGox is clunky and outdated, and hopefully after this Bitcoin is going to be more stable in price and less prone to media-hyped price crashes.
