I suspect there are enough people with enough BTC who have lost enough money and have not enough scruples that being called a bitch is about the last thing Karpeles needs to be worrying about these days.

They don't have any Bitcoins left to buy... The exchange is trading "virtual" Bitcoins that don't have real Bitcoins to back them up...

Precisely. There aren't any BTC, there aren't any USD, there are no fees. For all we know, this is how it's been for months... this is how Ponzi schemes crash and burn, unfortunately.

True, it's a speculation that they are insolvent...

However, the evidence in support is staggering.

Consider this; Gox is only a few years old and they operate a financial exchange business.

Most financial exchange businesses with solid business models profit less than 1% per year, now in a financial exchange, 1% can be billions of dollars due to the sheer volume of trade and 1% is actually a high expectation.

So we can assume that Gox has a solid business model and can profit 1% per year after all operating expenses (which is unlikely and more of an annual goal.) From this small amount they can build a financial foundation to secure themselves in preparation for hard times in the future.

Now, look at what happened when the FBI seized their accounts; this wasn't profit... This was the "volume of trade" part that I referred to above. This is the top line of their balance sheet...

How can a business with less than 1% net profit recover from a loss of their gross revenue like that?

Regardless of what you or I think they did, have done, or are doing; they will be bankrupted by their previous misfortune. They have major debts that need to be paid and the only thing they had were Bitcoins...

Businesses close for much less than what Gox suffered every day; how is Gox immune to failure where other, older, more secure companies have fallen for less?

I agree , even if it wasn't true , why would any legitimate exchange service still run? Shouldn't they disable the tradings if they are speaking the truth? Fuck mtgox , can't wait till it dies and that big fat Mark goes to jail

I can see how this would help you feel better, but you are being selfish. This would not help the community or bitcoin in any way. Your tiny little bit of revenge for a temporary price drop where you barely even lost a few hundred dollars in earnings that were not even yet realized would make all of us looking like a bunch of hostile and cursing morons. This is a really immature plan that sounds like gradeschool-level bullying. ISHYGDDT

ITT: OP's very public misogyny issues.

I think the more effective thing is legal action, both civil and criminal. This incompetence has gone on long enough now.

Can you offer escrow for this Karpeles bitch ipo?

Too many ipo scams going around lately.

You really need to change your tampon more often. Toxic shock syndrome is a real threat.

I agree...I think there could be much better things to say to him than call him a bitch.  Maybe raise a bounty to give to a Gox employee who can step forward and shed some light on what is going on.   It would probably need to be a decent amount of money since the person would probably lose their job, or maybe even face legal action if they signed non-disclosure agreements when hired there...

The ponzis are getting out of control too.   The best is when they say best trusted ponzi... that is like an oxy moron

Hey like I said, if someone else starts one up and gets a bunch of people going I would donate. Even though I have nothing in MTGOX, it certainly affects our whole bitcoin world.

Yes that person would lose their job, and that is a very ambitious amount of BTC you would need to raise. Maybe if we get this one going first and I prove myself I will endeavor into a deeper purpose. For now I would like to see him get called a lying bitch. :) We all gotta start somewhere!!!!!

I have no idea how to do any of that escrow stuff and I will be honest, I will never look into it, at least I am up front. I wouldn't think we would need to raise more then .05 BTC to get someone to do this. We just need enough views to reach someone over there who can do it is all. Maybe all we need is the current .006 that is in there! And someone will do it. That would be cool too.

Send your BTC to the address below and I will take care of it.

Anybody who uses the catchphrase "haters gonna hate" and then accuses the other person of hipster-ism is a bloody obvious obvious hypocrite. Your list of possibilities about me was totally incoherent. It showed no logical direction at all. All you did was make a list of nearly every possible position that any person might have on Mt.Gox and bitcoin, and somehow this formed some sort of logical framework in your head that was leading up the big shocker at number five. You should know that I hate Mark and hope he never has anything to do with BTC ever again. I hope he leaves the new secret company office and never goes back and does not carry any bitcoins with him ever again. Thanks for making yourself look so stupid.

Since you made so many baseless assumptions toward me, I will say a fact, not an assumption, about you, and then we can see what everybody thinks.

1. You think that calling a person a bitch to their face can actually help improve a situation outside of your own feelings of anger that you wish to satiate.

You would be sitting at a draw-bridge and yell to the operator that he is a bitch, and you think you helped him hurry up so everybody could drive over sooner.
You would have an argument with a family member and call them a bitch, and you think that would help to solve the argument.
You would get beat down by a small fairy-like man who was a 135 pound UFC fighter, and then you would call him a bitch as he walks away from your bloody pulp of a body, and you think that would help you lose the fight less, somehow.

You are exactly the kind of amateur-hour moron that we do not need in here or around bitcoin anywhere, ever, just like Mark Karpeles. Please leave and never speak or think about bitcoin until it is adopted everywhere in the world and nothing you say could ever possibly influence anything about cryptocurrencies.

This is one funny poll..! IF i were you i might have used check box instead of radio buttons..!

What is this going to do to help the Bitcoin community I'll tell you what nothing.

Don't see a point in this. It's not going to change anything. At best he is going to laugh at your face, worst you won't even see him.

the mtgox code was at fault from the start and it was double spending itself

their was never an attack to cause the fault, any transaction code attack is different from the

mtgox fault, if anything, possibly the transaction attack caused customers to start moving lots of funds

which caused the code to rip itself of even more  :D

Well I thought it was funny... And definitely not pointless.  If enough people kept calling him a gay fish, he will eventually realize that he's a motherf'n gay fish...lol. Same principal applies here.

Coinmode, you need to pull that big stick out of your ass and get a sense of humour.

the writing was on the wall, and everyone really liked the company so much too, I guess it will get its elite status

back when it hits $2000 and all the patient holders will pump mtgox like it was doing

the right thing all along, how could anyone have made an accurate price prediction when these

guys are abusing the position and virtually pocketing other peoples money with little repercussions

If I hadn't moved my funds I would be suing them now why isn't anyone else ? I also think since

they where so good with cash withdrawals that if they do resume them ill probably go back to them again

voted HELL YES but gay fish sounds nice too :D

 This is weak idea.

TL:DR
Hey I can only guess so many things about you. Maybe you could explain yourself instead of having others guess what your motivations are. I didn't say I was all knowing now ;) Sorry you can't explain things very well. I am also sorry you don't understand the comedic value THIS WHOLE THING IS GOING FOR.

#keeptryingbro

Where does it say I am trying to help the bitcoin community. It says I am trying to get him called a bitch for his shit he has been pulling. Maybe YOU NEED TO RE-READ son.

Nice contribution. Very original thoughts you have detailed here. Much APPRECIATE.

 You watch a video of someone confronting Mark Kaples and then you come up with this idea seriously that's weak. Leave the being original argument out of it please. Maybe I should of said this is a bad idea the word weak is probably what offended you.

Nice contribution again, thank you.

Look kiddy, insulting other people on the internet is hardly original, you aren't even giving an opposing idea.


1/10 for troll attempt.

#keeptry

lemme know once u reach 1 BTC ;)

Why are you asking for donations then? Scammer.

Not gonna read any other posts but looking at OP's thread-starter... you say you have 6 BTC already.

At current prices that's worth MORE than enough to take a flight to Gox HQ yourself.

Unless you don't want to spend your own BTC on something so stupid. I understand.

??? To pay somebody to do it. Most people don't do things for free. Glad I cleared that up. You dumb or something? #jesus

Oh yeah, let me sell all my BTC and lose several hundred dollars, then spend thousands of dollars on a whim to instantly please your ego. Are you kidding me?


I don't know if you happened to catch the title of this thread "Raising BTC to get Mark Karpeles called a bitch liar face to face" <--- there it is.

The point of this thread is to raise enough BTC for someone who is already over there to do it. They are the people most affected who have their withdrawals tied up and everything. I would need a passport and a bunch of other things, I am not taking off a few days of work to waste money calling someone a bitch when I can crowd fund for someone to do it who is already there. And it helps out a person in Japan who is getting screwed by them.

Time Value of Money son.

#REKT

And why are you so mad? Why don't you contribute to a cause? Why don't you start up your own? Why don't you spend your own BTC? I don't see any reason to be jealous on my thread and come in here asking me to use Paypal to try and scam me. Stop messaging me dude.

For anyone who may be reading this:

- I have not sent this individual a single message.
- I have not suggested he pay me or anyone for anything.
- He is just a decent troll who is in attack mode because people spit on his idea.

I'm done.

I feel sorry for Mark sometimes. He has done a lot of good for the bitcoin community in his past, ex. bought the bitcoin trademark name, promotion bitcoin site etc.

I treat people with the same respect/age level/mentality they treat me with.



Being "reduced to anger management" is not a phrase that makes any sense. What are you telling people here?

Did you mean to type "He is reduced to getting his anger management therapy on Bitcointalk"?

Just wondering.


eh, 3/10.

Well, he might have done a lot of good in the past, but now him and his team are backtracking. I can't stand people who blame Bitcoin for something they could have fixed. Especially since other smaller exchanges fixed it long ago. It is a big deal when Forbes talks about Bitcoin and he shoots off his fat mouth and has a smug picture of himself in it. Most people in stocks and other stuff don't read too much on Bitcoin and they are the people we need the most because the average user really isn't going to get into it. Most people don't need the services Bitcoin provides. There really isn't that many transaction fees in my everyday life and I have 6 Bitcoin but I think it's foolish to spend it on anything. My credit card gives me 2% cash back on everything, and 5% cash back on whatever the new category is every 3 months(it changes).

What does Bitcoin offer the average joe, absolutely nothing. Hence why we need all of the people who read Forbes to be on our side, they aren't average joes.

I'm not sure why a mod deleted my original "hahahahaha!!" response to this.

This was the hardest I've ever laughed at a post on BTCtalk.

To be honest that totally came to me out of nowhere too! I made a different version of it my signature. It needs to catch on lol!

op failed hard

A silly and childish suggestion.

Yeah what are you doing??

What a marvelously/intellectually significant post you have contributed, thou shall contribute again?

I see you have raised 0.006 BTC to date, or about $3.69. Should go far.
Perhaps if others have a serious suggestion for mounting a legal challenge in Japan, then I would be glad to contribute (if it's legit).

So where is your thread to get them sued??? I don't see it.

Still not seeing your sued thread! :(

Still not a fan of your idea but have you used faucets it's a good way to get small increments of BTC to build your bankroll. How come your sending some one else to do the job can't fly without a parent LOL sorry had to do it.

This is stupid.

I totally agree that the behavior of Mt.Gox is totally inappropriate, but imagine you trust in a new technology, open up an exchange and suddenly hundrets of thousands of bitcoins get loaded off on the exchange. How should anyone be able to pay this? Well, this only explains parts of the solvency issues, but i think making cheap propaganda to get others to call him names is childish (and it doesn't matter how often you call it "symbolic").

I'd suggest the OP takes the 0.006ish BTC and buys an ice cream instead of wasting his time on this head bounty bullshit.

If someone pays my flight, hotel stay, legal fees and canteen money I'll fly down to Japan and beat the shit out of Mark.

 ;)

Do it first and I'll donate after seeing video evidence.

Wouldn't it be cool to start a counter-donation to get all those childish, immature kiddies here bitchslapped?

Especially the dickheads who post bullshit and misleading thread titles due to being starved for attention.

+1 :P

Yes MTGOX is a poorly run company/scam and deserves to die, but just lowering yourself to harassing a person especially begging for money to do it is pretty pathetic, I prefer to watch him go out of business and then boycott anything he's a part of for all eternity and warn people about him whenever they get curious, much more effective.

I'm 24.

That's amazing. I just spit a little bit on my monitor if my water. Thanks.

Yeah it would be, I hope you get some ointment to put on your face after you're done getting bitch-slapped all day.

Dispute what I said? Oh wait, you can't. "labels OP's post bullshit and misleading"

Nice opinion, but the polls are largely yes at this point. So your sentiment isn't very popular... :/

I would Hope someone else wants to call him a bitch with what is happening righ tnow ;) rofl call me immature ok. have fun getting crashed on hard. http://www.coindesk.com/mt-gox-trading-halts-bitcoin-businesses-move-assure-investors/

The problem is that he is not only lying when bowing down, he laughs his ass off ,as all those

millions served to prepare his legal exit strategy.....lest you get a hold of cronies offshore accounts

and the trading records of the sellers at GOX he has nothing to fear......but the truth :

He is a lying bitch !!!

my thoughts exactly. it reminds me of the punks i went to high school with who would get up in somones face and say lets fight, then u tell them to throw first punch(so its self defense for you and u dont get in trouble) and they just keep talking mad shit and snicker at you. thats what he reminds me of.

You raised a grand total of $12 from yourself to yourself. Haha, I knew you were working for a bank trying to make this community look bad. I hope you get fired for failing.

slap dat pig lolololl >>
