It's been 72hours since I sent my urgent SEPA transfer (which guarantees same day from my bank - and shows same day when i do this to bitstamp) and it still isn't showing on my gox account. I'm inclined to agree that I will miss the window, and price will have normalised before I get chance to get a few discount coins.
ho hum.
ho hum.
Why oh why did you send money over there?
Did you also sent BTC to Gox in the last weeks when the price over there was +20% ?It´s a trap, you will get fooled. I hope not so.
I sent cash because i believe that the issue over btc withdrawal will be resolved in due course, and it looked like an opportunity to buy at a discount.
I didn't send coins when it was selling at a premium, because I think resolving the issues over fiat withdrawals was a much tougher nut to crack for gox as it relied in the co-operation of 2rd parties in the traditional banking system. A much different issue.
Fixing btc withdrawal is just a matter of them re-enabling it in their software.
It's not that I don't participate in groupthink, but that I try to recognise when doing so is detrimental. YMMV. I think gox are mildly incompetent. I don't think they are intentionally committing fraud.
I might be wrong about the whole thing, it might be a big mistake, but I'm clear about why I'm doing what the risk is in my view, and what the potential reward is.
