how are they going from 30k volume to 90k - in one day? are the numbers rigged? Title: Re: MTGOX - BTC Volume Spikes! Post by: Melbustus on February 20, 2014, 08:21:04 PM how are they going from 30k volume to 90k - in one day? Easy... The price of a GoxCoin goes from $261 to $110 in 12hrs.

This isn't rocket surgery! In this case we are dealing with fake Bitcoin IOUs issued by a dysfunctional, incompetent, possibly insolvent company. These IOUs are proving to be practically worthless, as they should be. Although, the fake fiat IOUs are probably just as worthless. :P Title: Re: MTGOX - BTC Volume Spikes! Post by: Holliday on February 20, 2014, 08:27:31 PM but, aren't the gates closed there? These are pretend coins that were already on the exchange being traded back and forth multiple times like a game of hot potato. No one in their right mind deposited bitcoins to Gox after the freezing of withdraws. Title: Re: MTGOX - BTC Volume Spikes! Post by: rat on February 20, 2014, 08:28:28 PM gotcha.

So how is it the price of BTC lower relatively? The explanation for this is that there 5 times more fake Bitcoin than what really exists. Furthermore, Mt.Gox does not dare to fake USD.
