I don't care how well or efficient or patriotic or smart or handsome the janitors are at bitstamp.
My point is, one individual should not have the power to affect the price of BTC as much as this cat apparently does.
You must be new here. Back in the day we had MTGOX and that was it and they single handedly caused a number of huge crashes. Slowly but surely more and more exchanges are opening up. This does not happen overnight and we are a much better situation today than we were a few years ago.
P.S nothing wrong with Bitstamp at this time, this thread is fucking bullshit.
OK...good to know.
I am new to all this, and glad to hear we are trending towards more and more decentralization of the levers of power v.v. bitcoin.
