My guess is that deleting the tweets has to do with legal cover.
BTC at MtGox is currently $145.00.
"the best part about bitcoins is that you get to watch libertarians slowly discover why financial regulations exist to begin with" Reddit is going full on Stockholm Syndrome/Cognitive Dissonance with this one. Bitcoin just keeps imploding over and over again, and they just keep pouring money in. It's really hard to feel bad at this point.
When the TOR traffic spike happened last year, i bailed for good. it's like a publicly visible dismantling of bit coin is taking place.
what effect will this have on BTC long tterm? is MtGox going to be dismantled, or will someone else be elected to its "seat", or will another industry member be appointed?
not that I know almost anything about BTC.
For the long term, I don't think it will drastically affect bitcoin. However, I do think it is going to push wallet hosts towards efforts to set their users minds at ease. There has been some talk about how these services might provide proof of the funds they have. Some people have/had a lot of money locked up in MtGox. That has to be awful.
I wonder how much real money as opposed to bubble gains where lost.
