Don't sweat it man. Just wait. No matter the outcome this is a temporary problem, and you can pat yourself on the back for only investing money you could afford to lose. I don't want to count the fools who went "all-in" with no backup plan and borrowed money.

Please don't do anything stupid for 11k euros. It is not worth it. You are still young and in time you will earn much much more than that.

Don't lose hope yet and try to somehow get your bitcoins back. Mt.Gox will not die completely overnight, that would be dangerous for them. You might recover at least some of that money.

Consider this as an expensive life lesson. Next time don't invest more than you are confortable losing.

I hope everything turns out ok for you.

Jesus bro, that really is some heavy shit.

I already said to others that, it might all seem to be trolling and a joke! Seeying goxxer going down so hard, but at the same times people, human being are getting seriously burned here! A friend of mine lost alot aswell on this, by trading on Plus500. It's risky, very very risky. But in the meantime like you have said, I do not with anyone losing that much money.

Don't make stupid decisions now... Hitting a tree will not solve anything. It will all go upways at some point, for anyone.

This kinda touched me in the gut. I have sent you a little something, it's not much. But I hope it takes the pain away just a little.

Hang in there!

Hi   I really hope MtGox does the right thing by you and others that have their Bitcoins/money tied up with them.

  Please don't consider doing anything drastic to yourself, I know you must feel desperate and miserable at the moment, due to this crap situation, but hopefully things will get better for you soon.

Fingers crossed for you and others affected by this.  Take care

Where should I start.

The beginning of February, as we all know got hit with some big news about Mt.Gox issues. Bitcoin started to drop heavely.
I have been at Mt.Gox since July 2013. As of than I had no problems at all dealing Bitcoins on their platform.

Being young, and seeying oppertunities in BTC I wanted to invest in bitcoins like so many others. I made the decision of buying bitcoins in the beginning of June. Proud that I was, seeying the prices rocket I actually thought of a very very bright future. Things are swell, I work 48 hours a week on a minimal pay scale, but I can get along fine. On the side of bitcoin I started to save a little money, knowing I still have Bitcoin left on Mt.Gox and it should all be fine.

Announcements came, several problems accured. We all know the drill of how this went down. Suprisingly they came out of it very well, and during those stressfull times, I always thought and wanted to withdraw my BTC's from there to another platform, or trade them in to some real cash.

Living with the feeling you got something on the side, seeying all went well with my Bitcoins and life itself, February kicked in.

Now I am not a tech boy nor a stock broker. I am a simple human being working his ass off trying to make the best of it all. February 7th I wanted to withdraw my bitcoins. This did not work. Me thinking it's temp I continued and got back the next day. I tried to claim a withdraw again. This did not work. I have put in a support ticket. I did not get a response on this till february the 14th. By than prices already started to drop heavely.

Monday the 17th. I was still not able todo anything at all. During the day from 18:00 till 23:45 I was not able to login into Mt.Gox. I felled bad about this, that gut feeling that even I do not wish my worst enemy would  have. I got that.

February the 18th. I was able to login into my account. My balance at that point? 0. I cannot see any trace of transaction nor ID. I have been watching my blockchain account, there aswell is nothing to be seen.
I inmediatly put in another support ticket. From of today at this very moment, I have not heard anything.

I have been watching this forum once in a while from the sidelines. There are alot of smart guys in here who predict and trade like pro's. Props for that.

How does this affect my life? I am not sure about this. I live to work, socially I do not have a wide network. I'd like to leave a tear and scream, but will this help? I just realised that I have just lost €11255,-. Money that I, one day wanted to use to buy a house, put it into a morgage. Now, thats obliterated.

I have seen alot of troll posts, and yes ofcourse it's part of the deal. But with every story there is a downside aswell. People get hurt, badly.

Now, I honestly do now know what to do. I feel like I have failed, and this deep dark shitty gut feeling is in my stomach. Knowing this has happend by the stupidity of a management team that has failed harder than anything in crypto land... knowing I have lost all of that cause of them. I'd somewhere sincerely hope that, when I drive to work tommorow morning. I hit a tree and just get over with it all. Cause for me, this has turned out into something terrible. I just want no more.

For the onces who did get out, and made it out well and alive, I am happy you did. I honestly would not wish this to my worst enemy.

Sincerely
