Where are all those reports about Bitstamp withdraw delays? If this is true then that would be a very bad sign.

Oddly, I can withdraw both BTC and EUR using SEPA just fine and I am actually slightly surprised by this: They likely got a pretty huge influx of new users when emptyGox closed down (assuming some percentage of the emptyGox users were smart enough to have some BTC or other funds outside it, which may not be true since those users were indeed emptyGox users) and I actually expected that to cause some delays - which isn't happening.

I think it's a myth that ex Gox customers, should scramble to Bitstamp after the bankruptcy.

If they had any there they have less now, and before, they considered Gox the safest option.

If they managed to withdraw in time, they don't intent to have their coins on another exchange.

Volumes are falling on all the exchanges, Ask orders are dwindling too. We will see another sharp dip into in a few days. This time into the sub 300.

The implications of Gox has a lot to do with the future of bitcoin still. more has to come out i the open before it's impact can be assessed.
