Bumping this because we are only 3 days away from the end of two real-world weeks. We'll soon see what happens...

Feeling in a poetic mood today:

"in a bitcoin summer night*, in the distance, you can hear the sound of whales dumping."

* a bitcoin summer night is two Gox-weeks long

Bitcoin is too valuable to be used as a currency
There is nothing genius about what's going to happen.  Gox is going to close and they are taking all your money with them.  This is nothing more than a BFL stall tactic.  Two weeks will come and go and they will be long gone.  Gotta love the Bitcoin diehards who put their faith in the centralized Gox.   Roll Eyes  Be nice if they would at least pick some principles and stick with them. 

Can't you just stop posting if you have nothing serious to contribute? You're not speculating, you're just trolling.
hes being a douche if he has no money with gox, cause we all have serious money in there. damn goxed, good thing I transfered all my coins out, still have usd though.

♫ A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw ♫
I still have $0.52859 in my account, any way to get that out?

Can't buy less then .01 BTC, and im sure a bank transfer would cost more than what it's worth, any ideas?

And yes i am serious, its only $0.52859 but it's my $0.52859

Yes you can buy less than 0.01 BTC on MtGox.

Just type in 0.01BTC and buy it.

The *interface* only lets you type in 0.01BTC or more - but it will simply buy whatever you have the funds for.

I've often been left with a few cents or even fractions of a cent in Fiat, but successfully bought some satoshis with it.



worked like a charm, thanks, now if I could only do the same on btc-e, minimum withdrawal is .01

Did they disable MtGox codes too?  Seems like an easy arbitrage, sell at MtGox => get code => load code @ Bitstamp => rebuy BTC at a lower price.

They disabled the codes way ago already, because of regulatory reasons.

Quote from: MtGox
7) The new trading engine is finished, is smokin’ fast, and is currently undergoing bench tests. We’re looking forward to deploying it very soon.

If this is true and if they're actually made an efficient (by real world criteria) trading engine this is the best news I have heard in months.

I tend not to trust MtGox much, it's just that I trust every other exchange even less.

It looks like the OP means panic buying, but that whole idea got shot down,... a measly $5 rise in exchange rate followed by a drop back to the starting point. Looks like there is absolutely no bullishness left in the market.

To me this looks like the trigger for a price drop but not a quick one. I think slowly the ability to sustain these high prices will drop, and the price will go with it. Somewhere down the line [98?] maybe some panic and a quick drop, but I cant see hitting $60 in 2 weeks.

If we do, though, I cant see it stopping there - too many people are used to small sell offs, but if something like $70 gets touched, then I think even they will panic.

Given you've only been around a month, these prices are pretty cheap for you.

1bn is peanuts for something that's better than gold- this isn't the 20th century, we're in for decades of uncertainty in the market probably due to energy crisis

I've been actively involved with trading bitcoin since late 2012 but have been aware of it since the 2011 bubble, so the prices really arent cheap to me, but I'm still no expert as I'm sure you're well aware of.

Not too interested in getting into the debate over what bitcoin is "really worth", and for trading, you have to look at what people are thinking here and now. If its so clearly worth 15k then no one would be selling. The bitcoin economy could probably run on a $1:BTC1 exchange rate given that hoarding wasnt a problem.

You must be new. You're going to have a bad time here if you don't assume 90% of the forum members are trollish fucktards like our mentally challenged Coinseeker friend.

Would be nice, in addition to the ignore button being darkened (like Coinseeker), if it also kept track of the number of ignores.
I bet he's #1 on here. Every so often he spews some truth though. That is why I have yet to ignore anyone - there is always a chance of "the truth in the false".

Regarding the thread title, I do think MtGox is going to continue to see an exodus of customers. The healthiest thing is for us to have many medium sized exchanges,
sharing the load. Gox really helped the last big crash to happen and now just started another downward movement. BTC was going against resistance anyway,
but the timing of GOX, as well as the reason, is a bit suspicious. I think the easiest way to manipulate BTC, outside of just having lots of money, is to be an exchange.

I don't know that we crash in the next two weeks, but I would not be shocked to see prices in the $60-$80 range, before going even lower...
(More importantly, I don't think it will be from what happened on Gox, but I do think that will hasten or trigger things.)

Rules not Rulers
I very much doubt gox is in financial troubles, or are going to close down. They should have a shit load of money, and it's not like their business is that expensive to run. I get that people don't like one exchange having that much power over BTC, but it is that way for a reason.

i think you can transfer $$ between mtgox accounts with MtGoxUSD coupon code

so try to find someone on this fourm willing to send you 0.004BTC for 52cents of mtgox money

Not any more. Regulatory compliance forced them to stop offering USD codes.

You're never too old to think young.

The meds, don't forget them.

Aw, don't spoil the fun.

I find his ridiculous trolling to be hilarious. If he took his meds he'd probably be really boring.

Hey, even his goofy avatar picture is hilarious.

I thought about putting him on the ignore list, but then I'd be missing out on all the humor.
