Probably a good thing.. their failure might have saved the economy. Ironic.

I dont think anything has been saved.  I believe we are already in a recession.  I think things will get much worse very soon.  I would guess epic crash by december.  I expectbtc and crypto in general to crater as well, but to recover much quicker.

Yeah I agree... my comment was more about 'today'. Saving it from total meltdown in the last 24hrs.

We certainly are still in the crapper.

Collectively, the issues exposed creaking digital infrastructure not capable of handling a massive surge in trading on a day with heavy interest in the equity markets.

Hope we can pull those 100,000 transactions per second.

LOL...They get a little credit for the individually typed Twitter replies. Some poor intern probably got that job.

One trader was quoted as saying, "It was like trying to use the v0.92 BitShares client to sell after an epic shitpost by Newmine on the forum".
