Buyers keep entering the market. Mt. Gox is so inefficient at "approving" new users that it may actually be slowing down the crazy growth. Last I heard, there were over 9,000 people waiting to be approved on Mt. Gox.
Aint the whole point of bitcoin is that one doesnt have to use centralised systems like Paypal who love to freeze your accounts, MtGox do the same now, they freeze an account until you "verify" which might take months if ever all while your bitcoins are sitting in their account
What sort of fools upload hiqh quality passport scans to shady sites online who can uses these to steal your identity with great ease
It's better for 'ME' to join a tried and tested exchange. -but- It's better for bitcoins as a whole, for me to try one of the newer or lesser used exchanges.
Just why entry level jobs require such high requirements now a days - as a hiring manger, why take the risk on someone knew (even if someone took the risk on you during your youth in better times) - better to just hire someone with 3 years experience...if its a buyers market and supply outstrips demand.
