The reason I submitted this is because it's an interesting phenomenon that fortunes can be lost or made so rapidly.

(An MtGox bitcoin can currently be sold for 0.4 bitcoin, so this was quite a lot of money being lost or made over the last hour.)

Well, fortunes can be made at a roulette table too. And watching the price investing in bitcoins is on par with roulette.

Lost AND made. Every loss is someone's gain. :)

Not so with assets. If you value your Bitcoin at $1000 today and tomorrow it is worth $800, you have lost money and no one gained it.
