Commented on a separate post about MtGox. It didn't ever have a significant or long-lasting effect before (regardless of whether coins were needed to be bought or sold). Negligible impact now, if any.
We've seen this before in the news tropes (China mining ban, institutional futures like CME, etc.). It might work when new. It might even work when regurgitated in a new cycle, having reached new audiences. But the effect wanes, and can't take hold.
Sorry but Bitcoin has been vaccinated against Gox.

If you think that these depositors will get their money soon, then most likely you are not following the details. All that happens is food to control prices or attempts to analyze from some locals to show why the price rose or fell.
Such statements have pressure at the beginning of trading, but with the passage of time and the more such news increases, its effect ceases to appear.
Therefore, it has no effect on the price.

Yes, it is not a big problem for the most part. The compensation will not be in full at once for all those affected, but will be in installments in the long term, so there will be no dumping of the market.
Also, those affected who will receive compensation will most likely not sell their bitcoins that they got at this low price now, of course it is possible that some of them will sell directly, but most likely they will wait for the market to rise.
In any case, this is just speculation, and no one knows for sure what might happen until the actual distribution takes place.

The Mt.gox drama has been going on for many years and what they do is just empty promises so people get bored and distrust is understandable. I also don't believe they will return bitcoins to that year's victims.
But if it happens then I'm really glad that the victims of that year can finally get their money back, and are even happier if they sell all their bitcoins. Many people fear bitcoin will plummet, but for me, it will be an opportunity to keep shopping for cheap bitcoin.

Even I felt weird for a while with the current dump in BTC price (from 23k to just under 22k) because the US markets didnt fell with us this time. Could be due to mtgox related fear but this release will not happen this year I can almost guarentee that although nothing is certain. SPX already crossed well above 4000 again so btc will again catch up in a few days (judging by the negative funding rates = short squeeze incoming).
I don’t think it’s MtGox yet. They have been delaying it for years and until the coins start to move, I don’t see it being the reason. The silvergate bank is mostly why Bitcoin dropped and on the macro side it’s the huge inflation we still have. Most likely there will be more fed increases and it’s always bad for stocks and crypto.
Until the coins actually move we won’t know what affect it will have on the price. Might dump for 1-2 days and then recover.

Let the Mt. Gox funds bring the price down if it must. Those Mt. Gox users who have been waiting for their money for many years deserve it. Whatever decision they will make, I think there will be no problem whatsoever. If it means the price of Bitcoin will fall all the way to $20,000, $17,000, or even $15,000 and below, I don't personally have a problem. This is Bitcoin. This isn't some centralized and manipulated market. This is a free market. I'm 100% sure that Bitcoin will recover from this and demand will once again dominate the market. The big Mt. Gox supply that will hit the exchanges will be temporary.
If the BTC is confirmed as actively available it doesnt matter too much where its stored in particular. If all supply is immediately flushed into exchange order books then sure it'll be a blip in the graph while its digested but its all pretty short term. Other dynamics are why we are stuck in the 20k region and its most about people who bought and sold here previously. Some people who thought 22k was the bottom are ready to cash out, till the scales tips towards new buyers and optimism in the market we have to stay here to serve the sellers. That whole iterative process that constantly goes on to provide a price balance is more important then just one event from Mt. Gox, the news on that failure is years old so its not new and not systemic so its not that relevant especially.
I thought that payout will be spread along? from March-September?
And not sure if this is the first time that we have heard about Mt. Gox supposedly payout, and again not saying that it wouldn't put a dent in the market, but it's so tiring to here about this in numerous occasions.
So let see how it goes, I do agree that nothing is certain, and as experience investors, we should know how to take advantage of the market situations.

So what do you suggest? That the MtGox users don't get their bitcoin back? If you're that certain that it will push bitcoin's price down, then you can take advantage of it. But the fact is, nothing is certain concerning markets.
I'm looking for anyone who agrees with me that this is probably causing the bitcoin price to be held back at the moment until this gets worked out.
...So you're looking to recruit a gang to spread some drama on this topic/subject?
To me it seems mostly everyone says its a non-issue.
In the past few years, every few months there was a news about Mt Gox bitcoins about to flood the market soonTM. Indeed, that made me wary.. first 2 times. Now I see it as a non issue. If will ever get released and if too many people will be dumb enough to dump their coins at this rather low price (since we're just after the crypto winter), so be it. But I think that it's rather unlikely. Hence I'm one from the "non-issue" group.
Why don't you want to continue the discussion about Mt. Gox in this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/mt-gox-will-release-bitcoin-in-march-whats-next-5441733.
I think it's only natural that most people have ignored about bitcoin Mt.Gox so far, it's because of there were many delays and failures they've had over the years. I'm not even sure when it will actually be distributed, but of course the market is sure to turn into dump if creditors manage to get their hands on the bitcoin. But don't worry, this is an issue that may only be FUD for some time so you can invest at a lower price.

I know most people downplay the Mt Gox payout and most will say it will have no bearing on the price. This is why I am curious if anyone actually thinks this is keeping the bitcoin price down.
When Mt Gox payout goes into effect, they will sell a lot of bitcoin to get the cash needed for the claimants who wanted fiat instead of bitcoin. This will be a huge amount of coins hitting the market. Then you have all the bitcoin being sent to everyone, will they cash in those bitcoins for cash?
This adds huge risk into the price, nobody really knows what this is going to do and you can only speculate. Will Mt Gox sell all of these bitcoins in a day and crash the market? Who knows what could happen.
This causes a a lot of uncertainty, why invest in bitcoin when there could be a huge amount of coins hitting the market. Better to just wait for the payouts to happen after March 10th and see how it goes.
