high-profile virtual currency market.[image 1]

Why not trade something that has actual value? :)

"The oldest and most popular Bitcoin exchange, MtGox, has announced today that it will drop the Bitcoin
currency from its portfolio... As of now, cash withdrawals are suspended, but MtGox 
has announced that
users will soon be able to withdraw their balances in form of cards."

That sounds like a great idea.  I know nothing about what's going on, 
but at work every day I spend huge amounts of time dealing with 
attempted fraud issues, so I'm predisposed to say there's high 
probability when they look into this mess they'll find some influential 
people gamed the system to permit some kind of scam from which they 
profited personally.

Maybe I'm wrong, but my faith in the human race is low enough that if 
someday they announced the Mt.Gox founders had trashed the system 
intentionally and made off with millions, it wouldn't surprise me.

Baseball cards might be an improvement.  DogeCoin: you're next!
