Re: Can someone please address how vulnerable Mt Gox and Dwolla are to being shutdow
The most positive thing I've seen lately is that www.wm-center.com in Russia is making a market in BTC. Fortunately, Russia is not part of the US umbrella and seems to be our savior as BTC holders.
I don't see any mention about bitcoin on that site, only other digital currencies.
As for Mt. Gox, MegaUpload style shutdown could happen any time. Therefore I stronly suggest for everyone to store their bitcoins somewhere safe, such as in a BrainWallet, paper wallet, blockchain.info wallet, traditional style on hard drive or Silk Road wallet
