Funny, but fortunately we don't apply Proof of Vitalik in Bitcoin.
This is likely one of the reasons for which Satoshi is gone. What Vitalik has done, and what they're trying to do is counter-intuitive to decentralized blockchains.
I cant believe people still havent dump all of their ETH for BTC btw.
We're most likely talking about people that are solely here because of their own foolish greed.
No wonder the price is dropping so rapidly within the last 24 hours. I thought it was just a bubble bursting.
This is the wrong section for price talk. You might want to visit Speculation.
I sure hope not since I was looking to buy some etherum from them

Buying a centralized coin with blacklisting? You're supporting all the right things.

it's not FUD. all the Bitfinex clients were locked out for more than 8 hours SO, they were unable to withdrawn/sell, etc. In the mean time, the price went down with 10%. Someone who had 100,000 USD, now he lost 10K just because Bitfinex is a shit exchanger and shut down the servers yearly in order to make huge profits.
No. You have no idea whether Bitfinex actually had problems or not. It is very normal for something to occasionally go offline. Not repairing a problem on time usually leads to even greater problems and even longer downtime. The real question is whether they've handled it professionally or not.
It might be wise to stay relevant to the thread and not discuss altcoins.
