We use Gox for a few reasons:
- Easy BTC in/out
- Generally highest volumes
- Generally largest 'swings' when trading goes crazy
We have not and will not withdraw from Gox, rather we trade based on BTC and withdraw BTC to Coinbase where we sell for the 'real' value (read: Not Gox prices). So from a trading mindset, sell high, re-buy low, extract BTC profit, try to remain stable at a BTC level. This has generally worked pretty well over the long term, but like any trading has its risk (since holding BTC you can have a value of $1000 one minute and $600 the next), but this has worked flawlessly.

If everyone know then no body would use. mtgox is trying to hide it

if anybody has any brains at all, they will abandon gox. it is just a matter of time until they die.
they are single handedly responsible for the crash in april
their customer service is utterly pathetic
they continue to rip people off everyday with inflated prices

Feeling like hell will freeze over before then. It's been too long already.

I'm biased - but confused about this as well. Has anyone gotten USD out of Gox in the last month?

I'm also waiting my gox withdrawal for August 11, 2013. What happen to gox?
September 27, 2013, 04:57:19 AM
i am waiting for a gox withdraw for since 6 august 2013 ...
Are you within the states? I can't believe there is still issues going on with mtgox withdrawals this is just insane.
No, I made a SWIFT transfer to Europe. Back in June after 4 or 5 days it was completed.
The SWIFT withdraw issues didn't start until mid june.

Any Idea when the arbitrage will cease? Will it just fizzle out or go on forever? Also who uses gox and for what lol it seems that its becoming antiquated quickly. It is IMO the 1st gen, still waiting to see who will take their place and do a much better job
September 10, 2013, 01:17:42 PM
gox is probably making a killing buying coins on bitstamp or btc-e and selling them at their inflated prices.
if someone was doing the arbitrage.... then the price difference wouldn't be there anymore.
September 10, 2013, 12:35:22 PM
because its got the highest volume so if you are regularly trading btc/us$ its the best place to be, or at least until another exchange has higher volume and then its easy to shift

Because if you are in Japan you can still withdraw. It's just international wires that doesn't work.
But what I don't understand is, why can't they withdraw JPY internationally? That makes no sense.So another reason to believe Gox is on track to steal people's BTC and $$.
Who knows when Gox would announce JPY withdraw within japan is suspended??

They probably like to live their lives dangerously.
