dozens of other trade floors that are legitimate.

Do any of these "legitimate" trading houses let you sell Bitcoins and then /take out the money/, yet?

Until that's actually possible, for decent amounts, as a regular thing, Bitcoin's price is a sham of artificially trapping and holding people's money.

I sold 2BTC on coinbase (a YC comapny) recently. So no the price is not a sham.

That's not enough evidence to support that claim.

When anyone can sell any amount of bitcoins they like so the price could adjust freely, then the price would not be a scam.

But anyone CAN sell bitcoins freely. Just because you've tied them up in an exchange doesn't prevent bitcoins from being sold.
