If someone could DDOS Bitstamp for a week we could regulate ourselves back to 800$

I do not understand what they have to do with this
Bitstamp has by far the thickest ask side and somehow acts as the market leader (at least among the western exchanges).
People are scared to buy due to their (relatively) immense ask walls.
EDIT: In the end BTC will follow DOGE and LTC, as always.
