Quote from: JezuzWazaMushroom on April 12, 2013, 01:39 pmThe general consensus on BTC-E is DPR should cease trading SR until this disaster is stable that's fucking buyers and sellers alike, what do you guys think?Absolutely not! What many people here seem to forget is that Silk Road is a free market built on Agorist principles. It reacts to the demands of the market, not to the demands of the currency used within it.People are free to make sales / make purchases as they see fit; who is anybody else to tell them that they do not have the freedom to do so?! Who is anybody else to put restrictions on their freedom?!The majority of the traders at BTC-E are only concerned about limiting losses. That is their issue; we cannot allow the freedom of others to be sacrificed in the pursuit of profit.- grahamgreeneEDIT:In response to this:Quote from: JezuzWazaMushroom on April 12, 2013, 02:14 pmBecause it's going to kill off vendors who will lose 1000's buy panic buying from greedy customers who will exploit the weighted average if and when the major sell off starts. If you believe it's not going down to under $30 you have never traded commodities. The sell off is just getting started!The problem with that logic is that Bitcoin is not a commodity, it is a proof-of-concept currency which is traded by some AS a commodity. It has inherent value as a currency in its use of exchange by many for goods and services. This was not a 'commodity crash', it was a price drop caused by commodity traders attempting to cut their losses and maximise their profit by selling off the assets that they held - in this case Bitcoin - to the detriment of the market.Bitcoin's value was hugely inflated by these speculators, and it is now experiencing a correction in its value. Prices will not return to the levels they were at in a short period of time, but it is not unfeasible that they will return to those levels in time.
