@cryptotraveler @jessevanek @wayann Hard to say. If people get back bitcoins that they wrote off, they might dump them for “safety” of fiat.

@wayann @jessevanek Wouldn’t surprise me - I’ve been saying all along that loss due to incompetence makes more sense than theft.

zfurnas @anjiecast @lopp’s right. But you could generalize to: “next time anyone starts asserting “intrinsic value” of anything, stop listening.”
