Title: MTGox Is Gone Forever.... ?
Post by: Rob768 on June 20, 2011, 10:56:41 PM
Just read this article/post.  http://www.talkgold.com/forum/r331869-.html

MtGox may be gone for good.  Does anyone know much about Japanese Money Laundering or Financial regulations that May shut down MT Gox after this Hacking?

I opened an account 3 days ago.  Figures.  grrrr!

Even if it is... meh.  Just use another exchange.  MtGox != bitcoin.

I doubt it'll happen though - one unattributed post on a forum doesn't constitute evidence.

Market manipulator checklist:
 
  • unattributed rumors
  • conjecture
  • rehashing old news
  • unsupported conclusion

Yup, looks like he covered all his bases.

It's hard to know how people are able to squeeze so many non-sequiturs into a single post, but I salute your efforts.

I actually think this will lead Bitcoin to a needed bump.
Its insane deflation was ruining all btc based business, as it was more profitable to simply hold to the bitcoins and wait then to trade with them, now with the speculators scared as hell and away of it, it could be an opportunity to actually create a Bitcoin economy.

Just posted the link..  Not saying it's the case.

This whole situation though proves we need more than one major exchange though.

I guess every new things takes time to work the bugs out, however with the case of MT Gox, the law may be able to stop them while Bitcoin will live on.

Anyone know a good site for Japanese internet and finance law?  What are the legalities of running an exchang in the country.  Does Mt Gox have the proper licensing?

mtgox servers are US based, that'll be pretty difficult for Japanese authorities to shut down.

Although the recent period of deflation could be regarded as a 'growing pain', experience as a trader coping with deflation will be valuable in determining whether a deflationary currency is workable in practice, not just in theory.

Well, there are several US laws against exchanges.  Check out some of the US securties laws as well as money transfer agent laws.  Money Laundering is a major issue in the US, and exchangers like those who exchange Liberty reserve and other ecurrencies are not permitted to operate in many cases.

Why are you trolling our forum?

If you don't exchange bitcoin's using LR, than there isn't any problems. Actually this whole "exchange" aspect of bitcoins sickens me. Thats not what they're meant for. Go back to "talk gold" and spread more HYIP speculation, on a currency that simply isn't going anywhere. No matter how much clowns on the Internet try to make it go away.

Geez, some of you don't read my posts.  I didn't say Bitcoin was going anywhere, and didn't say anything about exchanging Bitcoin for Liberty Reserve.  I was questioning if MT Gox would be gone for good, and if they were even legally operating in the US or Japan.  I am a proponent of BTC, I was question if Mt Gox will ever come back, that's all.

Actually, I spent several coins when they were between $25 and $30. Im very happy about it. Hopefully all this will teach everyone that hoarding bitcoins forever its not such a good idea.

Events outside Bitcoins control will always influence prices.  In the longrun does anyone thing this is a positive since it allows more than one Exchange to possibly take hold?

Seems Like Tradehill might not make it either....

Will you guys continue to use Mt Gox or switch to another exchange?
