Good morning gentlemen. I see the market believed MtGox's slightly rephrased "2 weeks" message.
Its only +40$ increase on the Goxcoin price, cant really say that market believed MtGox all that much

Kinda hard to predict this market, after reading the update i was sure it would react with a huge dump, but went on a mini-rally instead, but now it seems we are heading back to the "pre-update" levels

Thursday update: we have successfully downloaded half the block chain.
But ran out of disk space. We have a new hard drive on order from Newegg.
...but apparently there's some snow over Russia so there might be some delay.

Actually - allowing limited withdrawals makes sense - they must fear a 'run' on BTC either crashing the exchange (with it's new software fix being untested, too) - or meaning they have so little liquidity that their business is finished.
Allowing 'some' withdrawals will mean people wish to hold BTC instead of Fiat, which will inflate the price on Gox, and at this point, some people might decide to stay.
If Gox is clever, it will still have a business left. Don't get me wrong - I will be the first in the queue to get out, but it is a logical solution.
I did think this was their only logical way out (assuming they really do intend to stay in the game).

The thing is, it is not Gox's money to control. It belongs to the people whose accounts it is credited to. To maintain confidence, Gox should be doing everything they can to allow people to access their money. They're not.

Whoever is shorting now deserves an asskicking.
I stopped shorting when the ddos and malleation flood hit.
call me old fashioned but I refuse to help criminals steal coins, no matter how stupid their victims -- and even more certainly, not when it is harmful to bitcoin.
I will, however, profit by buying the dips, which I deem helpful to bitcoin, so long as price is below fundamental value.

Can everyone just remember there is a human being at the other end of these messages
I take exception to that!

I'm pretty sure they bought one of these , it's a good match for their new trading engine.

Let's make it clear - nobody has no bloody idea where the heck it is heading right now, lol
Nothing that special , most of the times we are clueless about where the hell bitcoin is heading and why.
Just enjoy the spooky ride

This week has demonstrated how one man, who owns a badly run Exchange but has a good PR team, can do massive damage to BTC.
Bill Gates?

i myself expect bitcoin to just sit where it is at......it always does what we don't expect and that is the only option
it will go sideways and we will go crazy with confusion....
it is what bitcoin does

There is a lack of locomotives in here.
We can only have 2 locomotives per day until Mtgox lifts their limits

Karpeles did another interview with the media (wall street journal):

Is he going to blame bitcoin again?

Probably bitcoin , the bank of Japan , Obama and the Jamaican bobsled team.

What if MtGox price doesn´t go up to to roughly meet with actual market prices, but Bitstamp goes down to Gox for the meeting.....
