Two days later, it's in the Economist, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, etc.
Mt. Gox underestimated Bitcoin's media profile. When they went down, they acted as if the event would mostly be ignored and they could quietly get away with it. Instead, they got coverage in just about major business newspaper worldwide: WSJ, NYT, Forbes, South China Morning Post, China Daily, even al-Jazeera and Russia Today.
Bitstamp seems to be dead. They said they'd be down for "24-48 hours". Two days later they're still down. They haven't issued any new statements. There's a good chance they're in "take the money and run" mode.
Wonder what Bitpay are going to do, since their "aggregate price" turns out to have long closely tracked ... Bitstamp. How in the bag are they? Did they in fact cash out daily?
