Bitcoin value plummets as main exchange is hacked
Inside the Mega-Hack of Bitcoin: the Full Story

oh nooes!still it sounds like it was the exchange that was hacked, not the actual cryptography of the bitcoin

Yeah, although wasn't MtGox the only game in town for turning bitcoins into $?
Seems like a) nobody trusts it any longer and b) it's even easier than people feared to crash the value of bitcoins, especially with some early adopters out there holding huge sums.

I think the main usefulness of it will be not having to turn it into $
― coffeetripperspillerslyricmakeruppers (Latham Green), Tuesday, 21 June 2011 19:13 (twelve years ago) link
There are other exchange places for turning bitcoins into $, but none is as big as Mt GoX was. Also, this entire story is making me laugh so much because it made me realise that this currency was mainly being traded on what used to be a Magic: the Gathering exchange website (Magic:the Gathering online Xchange = Mt GoX).

In addition, we isolated all the large transactions in the system, and discovered that almost all of them are closely related to a single large transaction that took place in November 2010, even though the associated users apparently tried to hide this fact with many strange looking long chains and fork-merge structures in the transaction graph.
