Furthermore, for those of us who were trying to close shorts with buy orders, doesn't that actually help stabilize the price? Many of us aren't pissed that we couldn't buy 25 dollars bitcoin, I was trying to close a short at 578 which hardly seems unreasonable to me.
Yes, if most of them were market orders then it should quickly bring up the price again.
@bfx:
Because you calling some complainers here "idiots" because they lost a few to a few hundred dollars, I guess it won't make sense to even try and send you an email about the loss made. The amount of money should not matter, it's the percentage that matters and every customer should be treated equally.
And yes, I'm trying to be constructive and understand the situation fully..
