Title: Should I spend all my money locked into mt.gox on bitcoins?
Post by: mackminer on February 22, 2014, 10:33:10 AM
I mean surely if I can't get my bitcoins then I can't get my cash.

Any opinions appreciated.

Thanks.

from what i understand the price is so low because people are trying to get $$$ for their in house gox bitcoin ...ie if www.mtgox.com
goes under you may get your $$$ back or partial but not clear if bitcoin is considered "real money" so that would be a complete loss

(in other words gox could declare they have 20mil in debts (currency) and just blow off the 300 million in bitcoin ..in that bankruptcy
laws would consider that monopoly money and not covered

frack ..that is what they are probably arranging with their lawyers as we speak

i've no idea don't have any money in gox myself (have a verified account thou) so no idea what you should do

but that is why the price is so dang low concerns about the above i've seen on other threads

good luck hopefully it will all work out

Just grab the coins all out. At least you have it at a very good rate. Hopefully you would just keep BTC and not dump it right away when it clears the house. This way, it helps the ecosystem. Maybe a few mBTC on every other day is still healthy and not a lump sum.  ;D

I would when the btc are cheap. Then first time you are able to withdraw get your btc and run to some other place. If you have a lot of money with them maybe it would be better not to spend it all.

It's a risk and you could lose either way. I'd probably take the gamble on the cheap coins.

Hold like its better than Gold, obvious ploy to get people to sell, as long as it has the most powerful computer network protecting it I wouldn't be selling anytime soon.

If MT. Gox is insolvent, you probably wont get back any coins or any USD.

If they are solvent, would you rather get back USD or 1BTC per 200 USD?

So it would have been stupid not to buy the coins.

If they are solvent, would you rather get back USD or 1BTC per 200 USD?

1 btc @ about 80 euro I think I paid for them today.

Now just hope that they survive and recover. Given their past performance, I think your odds are pretty good.

When my first funds got to gox, they weren't having issues.  The problem arose when they started denying my account verification...

I would take the risk. Don't think you will get much back from having fiat there. It could take years before you even get your money back, imo buying btc and hoping for the best is the greatest risk reward ratio.
