Bitcoin Forum

I have talked to a guy who is working in the environment of Mark Karpeles. He claimed that Mark has some kind of a agreement or even secretly involved in an "investment company" who is going to offer Bitcoin investment vehicles like ETF´s.
The question is whether Mark even starts or give in order the malleability ddos attacks to have an excuse for a longer period of downtimes on MTGox.
I think now it makes all sense. We have small Bitcoin prices due the manipulation on every exchanger which makes it actually really attractive to build a bitcoin portfolio.

I am in touch with this guy and will inform you about updates.

For more related information I am willing to pay Bitcoins.

Anyone who would do business with Karpeles is an idiot.

If Mt.Gox is insolvent, they have tons of virtual bitcoins as the real are missing. They've manipulated their price either to lower their liability in dollars (TM steals bitcoins, not fiat) or to make more coins from the huge margin and recover some of the missing coins at the expense of the stuck customers, of course. An ETF takes months and years to launch, so, that's just a rumor, no doubt.

I'm sure thousands of investment ideas are presented to him on any given day, nevertheless his is quite busy at the moment fighting for air, I doubt very much if anyone who may have gotten a green light (with or without investment) will see any additional participation from him.    

Just like GLD ETF. All one needs to do is hold BTC in Cold Storage, available for verification (public address), and then file for FinCEN and SEC approval and list on an 'exchange'. (So easy a Caveman can do it. LOL)

The KEY is the overlay network. You don't need to expose the BTC (gold) for actual trading in day to day operations. Basically, you are only dealing with FIAT. It would benefit you to be able to acquire more BTC to expand the ETF. (HE might have some problems here, considering...)

Why are people so dumb? Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

Yup don't do business with him, It's like dealing with Jabba the hut, you'll end up screwed and possibly eaten.

This is wonderful.

Yes, shame for anyone who used Gox in the past 6 months (and more).

Absolutely right. The evidence of his competence, or lack thereof, is abundantly clear!

That Mark is an idiot and a fat nerd. Beware fat nerds. They are lascivious with food as with money. And they feel the need to revenge against a world which has refused them, as social outcast. They just want to be loved!!!!!

Ha, thanks for the lols.

Don't know why is he so greedy. I mean it is clear that he has earned a lot of money from all of this so far. No need to lie and get other people under.

I think number three had nothing to do with MtGox. Wasn't that Pirate?

I agree... someone should frame this, sticky it, engrave it in gold.

I like the new proudhon  ;D

You should thank him for driving hordes of lemmings to dump everything and let you buy so crazy cheap coins.
If you believe in bitcoin, you only get benefit with every act of goxing.
