I think (and really hope) this is satire. Are they suggesting bailing out a bitcoin 'bank' because them falling over would be too much of a risk for the whole system? The irony here is a little too much to be true.

There is a lot of irony to be had in the world of Bitcoin. From security to stability to manipulation.

I believe they are suggesting that. The question is who picks up the tab. As long as it's not a publicly funded bailout, I can't say as I really care.

JP Morgan did it. So can Satoshi.
