I'm wondering how much people sold their BTC in complete panic. Or how much got a chance to buy a load of very cheap Bitcoins!

Following its indefinite suspension of withdrawals last Friday, the Tokyo-based MtGox bitcoin exchange has today issued a statement stressing that the bug which prompted the suspension affects all third-party transactions with the e-currency.

The revelation seemingly caused global panic selling of the crypto-currency, pushing the BTC/USD in a matter of minutes at around 10.55 UTC down to $102. But just as quickly, the price of bitcoin rebounded into the $600s as opportunists stepped up.

It went back up as fast as it went down, but the BTC's value as of now is still 10% lower than this morning.
