That's not the worst case scenario.

Exactly. I fear we're in for a VERY wild ride in BTC.

Imagine: MtGox belly-up, and Bitstamp getting into banking troubles as well (be it just temporarily) if the shit hits the fan in Slovania within 4 weeks from now. There is actually talk that a Slovanian real estate owner (who WILL default) should meet obligations about NOW. It will, in turn, get Slovanian banks in trouble, meaning Slovania will need to ask for an EU-rescue. Just think of the consequences, if Bitstamp's bank gets into trouble...

Mt.Gox trouble... Bitstamp trouble...

Let's hope for the better...

No.
BitStamp uses the Slovenian branch of UniCredit. UniCredit is Italian. They are in trouble as well. But not rescuing Italy is out of question. The Germans will always save Italy. They own part of it anyway, and they love going on holidays there.
