But just like in the real world, SUPER LARGE COMPANIES FUCK EVERYONE.
would you define deepbit or mtgox as SUPER LARGE? interesting. you know in the real world they are super small nearly nonexistent companies, right?
i would also like some competition, but i would not suggest that people should stop using deepbit or mtgox. mtgox had already taken a legal fight in France for bitcoin, i would say that its better to have a few large, that can defend themselfs, instead 100's small one that can't. i think in the future we will see many small competitors, just wait and let bitcoin grow big.
i would be using intersango, if bitcoinica havn't had taken my btc hostage.
Gox and Deepbit are very large in comparison to the size of the BTC economy. Even if you say 40% of BTC exchanges happen privately off the big exchanges, that still means that 50% of the BTC exchanged goes through one entity. That's pretty massive.
