btc is decentralized, the exchange that was hit, mtgox, has commanded a lion's share of the exchange business so when they were hit, it was similar to hitting a large chunk of the entire exchange market. I've seen some #s that claim 90% of all btc business is transacted through mtgox.

Yes basically. But junk bonds really don't exist anymore. There are credit ratings on bonds and most individual investors will only go with A+ rated bonds, unless they are complete morons. Also with all the crazy shit that has happened in the market over the course of the last decade, Ponzi's schemes & such. The regulations that have been implemented now are extremely strict. It is a lot harder to manipulate things now then it used to be.
