Title: Anyone putting money on gox deserves what's coming to them
Post by: shamntalk on April 12, 2013, 12:24:00 AM
Gox played everyone, manipulated the market via a 3rd party (the one with the bots everyone saw), then shut down to have enough time to cash out their personal btc. It will reopen at 50.

Gox should be held liable in a court of law yet won't. If you are trying to get on 'these cheap bitcoins' waiting for them to reopen you deserve what's coming to you.

Of course. We all remember how dearly we'd regret not to buy at 500 because 'BTC to a million'. Derpy derp.

Just a guess: you bought WAY over $120. Am I right?

I really hope I get what's coming to me.

I bought at $5. $10 will be an incredible profit. I'll buy more at $50 because I think bitcoin is worth it. I'll save some fiat in case it comes back down to $5, when I'll buy in even more.

But I'll keep my day job too. You know, just in case.

I suppose this thread is called speculation, but really you should offer at least a shred of evidence for wild claims.

And tell me, just where/how would gox "cash out their personal BTC"? Do you have any idea how much they have?

It would be absurdly foolish for Gox to destroy its own platform, and the BTC price, just for some quick gains (if gains by doing so were even possible).
