The price has stabilized with a slow steady increase... but still, they know what it takes to destabilize it. When central banks can create dollars out of thin air, a relatively small bitcoin market can easily be manipulated.
Since that bubble and crash didn't scare everyone off, they are using force to trying to close things down now, at least here in the states where they can.

Well personally I'd be worried about a couple of things.
#1 --- I never want to be in a pissing match with any government.
#2 --- They seized the assets of the exchange... to me that says they
may also have access to accounts - transactions - etc... which I'd be worried about if I wasn't paying income taxes on my gains. That's what they're really after.
