I sold £1000 worth at about £180 a coin, closer to a £100 now. Feel sorry for some people.

[Barney Stinson]

What happened to make it crash? Was there a breach/exploit?

[dub]

Nah people started cashing out.

[Kurtis]

[Swiftie]

The crash surely aint linked to the fact of that worm being spread over Skype right?

 

 

Tried a recovery, but it sorta halted quick..

Currently @ £80

I trade, so I basically buy and look to sell for a profit within a day or so. Made about £1000 in the last 5 days but the markets seized up so will have to leave it for a week.

They may not have invented Facebook, but twin tech entrepreneurs Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss — better known to the world as the Winklevoss twins, or Winkelvii — are deep into the next big online trend. The brothers claim to have amassed one of the largest portfolios of Bitcoin in the world, worth around $11 million, or about 1 percent of the entire currency's dollar value equivalent, as the New York Times Dealbook reports.

That staggering amount comes in a little less than a year, as the brothers are only reported to have begun "dabbling" in Bitcoin starting last summer. “We have elected to put our money and faith in a mathematical framework that is free of politics and human error,” Tyler Winklevoss told Dealbook. The 31-year-old brothers also seem unfazed by the market's tumult in the past few days: “People say it’s a Ponzi scheme, it’s a bubble,” Cameron said. “People really don’t want to take it seriously. At some point that narrative will shift to ‘virtual currencies are here to stay.’ We’re in the early days.”

Litecoin (competitor to Bitcoin) being considered by Mtgox

[Kurtis]

Owners of bitcoins have also become the target of cyber thieves keen to cash in on the boom in the digital currency.

A phishing gang posted a message to the discussion forum of a website used by many bitcoin traders saying MTGox was about to start trading "litecoins" - an alternative to bitcoins. In the message was a link that supposedly connected to an official MTGox chat site.

In fact, the site that people were taken to if they clicked on the link was fake and, via a booby-trapped update file, installed malicious software that then emptied digital wallets of bitcoins. At least one trader was hit in the attack and lost 34 bitcoins as a result.

In a post about the theft posted to the Bitcointalk forum, the victim said he was "stupid" not to have taken more trouble to stay safe but added: "This is a serious loss for me, and unless this is handled correctly this can also badly affect the community."
