Does this statement come from experience? If so, can you please halt all Bit Torrent traffic. I'm sure you'd win a metal or something if you could do that. lol.

I didn't say the currency exchangers were immune to a large scale DDoS. However, there are already tons of them all over the world. Some even do exchanges 'in person' (aka "meatspace"). How do you stop the "in person" Bitcoin exchangers? Beat them all up?

If, in bizzaro-land, all of the exchangers were DDoS'd or beaten up and in hospital you could still mine coins into existence.
