^this (inability to withdraw btc) could cause panic selling if it becomes widespread.

BTC withdrawal delays on Gox have been reported every now and then for a long time now. IIRC the official explanation long ago was that that's how their system is set up. A relatively small hot wallet or something, maybe.

Which is why I said "if it becomes widespread."
