And the price of BTC falls down  .

I explained that in other posts. Bitfinex business is required to be licensed by the country where they are incorporated. They claim to be in China and BVI. Both countries require a financial license for a such business.

More than that, if you want to operate(to have clients) in EU, USA and your company is registered, let's say in China (it can be any country), you must get license in EU or USA(in each State from US) along with the license from China.

Bitfinex doesn't own any license so they are running an illegal business.

In the coindesk article it is mentioned that some of their users have had their bitcoins stolen which means that not users are affected? I have a feeling that because of the bitfinex shutdown the bitcoin price has dropped to $555 currently and with this trend the price is going to fall probably to $400 very soon.

See it positive. At least the guy who stole it, is possibly going to buy lots of highly beloved ETC with it.

Same old shit, different day

Guess it doesn't matter too much. It's apparently enough for everyone to go apeshit.

In the end I'm donating my losses in both Bitcoin and Ethereum for it to hopefully be one and the same person.
Some guy who hacked the DAO, made ETC happen, then hacked Bitfinex. In some years we might watch a movie about him and laugh.

All those downtimes for maintenance and they still get hacked. And this isn't the first time either. The worse thing is they're probably the most popular western bitcoin exchange, lots of people are going to feel disappointed.

it should be around of 120K BTC lost    

that means aprox 60 millions USD...

if this is real, Bitfinex will say "asta la vista, baby"  

Ah I see!  Thanks for explaining.  Sorry, I've only signed up today and I still have an insane amount of posts to catch up on 

For small fry who wish to accumulate, that would be most welcome indeed.  Probably not of the magnitude of Bitcoin going from $30 --> $2, but still an opening for a new batch of future old-timers.
