So, That wacky rally today looks to be unique to Coinbase.  Bittrex and Poloniex show highs below 16,000.  So if this doesn't make BTC look like idiotic tulip mania I don't know what does.  All these new customers, buying into the $19,xxx's and then what happens??  THE SITE GOES DOWN!  This is the worst case PR disaster I can think of at the moment.  Can you imagine buying your first BTC at $19,500 and when the site comes back up it's going for $16,000???  UGH!!
