Can you provide the name of the insurance company?
Beauchamp McSpadden
(btw, it's in the guy's sig block in the link, but expecting you to read is probably expecting too much)

Which is not an Insurance Company, it's an Insurance Broker. THEY did not insure anything. I did read the sig.

If they do something to mitigate the effects of the attacks, y'all will rip into them and attempt to use it as a means to denigrate bitcoin.
I would say that if they are in fact the victim of DDoS attacks (I like to give them the benefit of the doubt, but admittedly it would be financially advantageous to pretend so they can stop trading whenever they please) then trying to get rid of the wild price swings is probably a good thing.
But it seems to add some centralization to something that was designed to be decentralized.

Maybe cell-phone replacement insurance will accept bitcoin? 
I cannot imagine a reputable company creating actuarial tables based on bitcoin revenues especially with how volatile bitcoin prices are.Posted on 4/22/13 at 4:02 pm to Vols&Shaft83

You should WARN them before they're carted off to jail.

Supercomputers could track ultrafast trading across the nation's many markets and allow regulators to impose rules that might slow down the market and head off a repeat of the May 2010 "flash crash" — or worse economic meltdowns.

It would be like a NASCAR race yellow flag warning drivers to slow down, scientists say.

Regulators with weak and incompatible computer systems have set safeguards. One uses shutdown switches — "circuit breakers" — to halt all trading. A second, called "limit up, limit down," cancels trades outside a normal price range.

All the info I have on it is in the link I posted earlier. You could email the guy who posted it and ask him if you were truly interested.

So, what exactly in that article refutes my statement?
NYSE shuts down, they better have a damn good, verifiable reason to do so; Because the regulatory authorities (not to mention the major financial media) will be crawling up their arse with a microscope in a matter of seconds. Mt.Gox shuts down, they claim DDOS attacks, which no regulatory authority CURRENTLY has to verify.

So then don't use their services if you don't like the way they operate and/or don't trust them.
Aren't free markets awesome?

I don't and won't, just in case my views on bitcoin have been unclear up to this point

I truly believe they are, but when an exchange holds almost 80% of the current trade volume, and smaller exchanges are closing left and right, it's hardly a "free market" when the only other game in town is even more unproven and untrustworthy.
